{"product_id":"ariel-red-rooibos-herbal-tea","title":"ARIEL Red Rooibos","description":"\u003cp\u003eARIEL Red Rooibos is a caffeine-free herbal infusion from South Africa's Cederberg region, made from oxidised Red Rooibos leaves, available in a 1 kg bulk format. Naturally caffeine-free with a full body and a distinctly deep red colour. A well-recognised menu staple for café and hospitality programmes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cup is a vivid, deep red – one of the most visually striking and recognisable infusions in a loose leaf display. The flavour is naturally sweet and mildly earthy, with a woody, slightly honey-like note and a smooth finish without bitterness. Caffeine-free and appropriate for all-day and evening service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Red Rooibos\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Rooibos comes from the Aspalathus linearis plant, a member of the legume family endemic to the Cederberg mountains of South Africa. Unlike tea from Camellia sinensis, it contains no caffeine and produces a naturally sweet infusion without the astringency of black tea. The deep red colour and full character develop through the fermentation and oxidation process used in traditional rooibos production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrewing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteep 2.5 g per 200 ml at 95 °C for 5 to 7 minutes. A longer steep deepens the colour and character without adding bitterness. At 2.5 g per portion, a 1 kg bag yields approximately 400 portions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredient\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red rooibos leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 kg bulk\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoundation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Humaniterra Foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Herbal infusion (Tisane), caffeine-free, loose leaf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Terra Café et Thé Ltée","offers":[{"title":"1 kg loose leaf","offer_id":43358893867059,"sku":"TARIORITIZA01F001","price":38.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg loose leaf (volume price)","offer_id":44254813388851,"sku":"TARIORITIZA01V001","price":34.9,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/2363\/3971\/files\/Tisane_Rooibos_Rouge_1KG.jpg?v=1750705293","url":"https:\/\/wholesale.cafeterra.ca\/products\/ariel-red-rooibos-herbal-tea","provider":"Terra Coffee \u0026 Tea Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
