Add three teaspoons of Tropical Rooibos to one liter of water heated to 80°C and let it steep for five minutes. Since it contains no caffeine, you can enjoy it at any time of the day or in the evening according to your preference.

The Exotic Fusion of Tropical Rooibos

Tropical Rooibos features sunny apricot notes, blended with a subtle warmth from ginger, while orange essential oil adds a vibrant citrus touch. This combination creates a perfect balance between fruity and spicy flavors.

The Cultivation of Ginger Around the World

Prized for over 3,000 years, ginger, with its exotic warmth, has played a crucial role in both Indian and Chinese herbal medicine. Over time, its use spread, and it was imported to Europe and Africa, enhancing both dishes and infusions with its bold flavor. Arab traders, referring to it as "Zenj," helped expand its reach, a name inspired by the inhabitants of Africa’s eastern coast. The ancient trading port associated with this spice eventually became known as Zanzibar, symbolizing the fascinating journey of ginger across cultures and continents.
