THE SOMMELIER'S NOTE
The elegance of green rooibos
This blend is distinguished by the use of high-quality green rooibos. Unlike classic red rooibos, green rooibos is not fermented, allowing it to retain a light vegetal note and a high antioxidant content. It provides the ideal base for the fruity aroma of the pear to fully express itself without any bitterness.
This blend is enhanced with heather flowers and pieces of dried pear. These ingredients are not just aesthetic: they bring a touch of poetry to the infusion and highlight the authentic and crisp character of the fruit.

One of the great advantages of Rooibos is its simplicity of preparation. Unlike tea, it does not contain bitter tannins and therefore can never become astringent:

- Infusion Time: Let it infuse for 3 to 5 minutes. You can even extend the infusion time to obtain a denser and sweeter brew without risking bitterness.
- Dosage: Use approximately 2.5g to 3g of tea (one heaped teaspoon) per 150ml of water.
- Iced Rooibos: Pear Rooibos is surprisingly refreshing when served cold. Its thirst-quenching quality and fruity aroma make it a healthy and delicious alternative to sugary, processed drinks.
