Lime, clementine, blood orange: three citrus fruits in one caffeine-free cup. Rooibos Citrus N°243, from Dammann Frères, one of France’s oldest tea houses, founded in 1692, enriches South African rooibos with orange peel and flower petals and lifts it with essential oils of lime, clementine, and blood orange, with a hint of kola. Naturally caffeine-free, mild, bright, and lightly tangy, it is a refreshing infusion for any hour, available in a 100g canister or in 24 individually enveloped tea bags. Pour it over ice in summer, with slices of orange.
