Lemon Ginger Rooibos

The people of Thailand know a thing or three about finding balance in life. Why three? That's the number of Noble Disciplines that govern Theravada Buddhism, the religion practiced by 95% of the country's population. They are: Discipline, Training of the Mind and Wisdom. Even the philosophy behind Thai cuisine is all about achieving harmony and balance. Thai dishes are characterized by the balance of five fundamental flavors - hot & spicy, sour, sweet, salty and bitter (optional). Only when all the flavors are in perfect balance can a recipe be considered perfect. In developing the Lemon Ginger Rooibos, we've adhered to this philosophy and the results, if we may be so bold, are indeed perfect.

The blend starts with Rooibos, while not in itself salty, does possess a mellow herbal quality that like salt, accentuates the flavors of the other blend ingredients. Next, ginger adds the spicy hot component, followed by tart lemongrass for the sour component and dried pineapple for the sweet. The resulting blend hits all the right notes if you've got relaxation on the brain. Brew a pot today and starting thinking enlightenment.
