Plain, unflavoured rooibos from South Africa with a woody aroma and a gentle taste. No caffeine, so it fits the late hours when you are still writing up the day in your grow diary.
There is always one more thing: labels for tomorrow's sowing, a note about which pots dried out first, photos of the seedlings to sort. Rooibos is what we put the kettle on for at nine in the evening. It contains no caffeine at all, so a second or third mug is never an issue.
This is the natural version with nothing added. Just cut rooibos from South Africa with a woody aroma and a mild, rounded taste. It is the kind of tea that does not demand attention, which is exactly what you want next to a tray of seedlings and a pencil.
Measure 15–20 g per litre, use water at 90–100 °C and leave it for 5–10 minutes. Because the leaf is cut rather than whole, the long steep is what draws out the full taste, so do not rush it. Strain the leaves at the end so the pot does not keep brewing. A loose tea strainer or a simple pot with a filter is all you need.
On hot days, brew a stronger jug, let it cool down and put it in the fridge. A cold glass of rooibos after an afternoon of weeding the allotment is hard to beat, and a few leaves of mint from your own bed go nicely with it. Store the bag in a dry place and close it well after each use.
