How much caffeine is in Green Rooibos Citrus Infusion?

Green Rooibos Citrus Infusion is naturally caffeine-free, so each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains no measurable caffeine.

What temperature should I use for Green Rooibos Citrus Infusion?

Target 96°C (205°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Green Rooibos Citrus Infusion be extracted?

Extract for 5:00-6:00 using Covered Mug Infusion, at a ratio of 12g/L (3g blend to 240g water), prepared at Whole Leaf. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Green Rooibos Citrus Infusion taste bitter?

Bitterness almost always indicates over-extraction. Shorten the contact time, lower the water temperature slightly, or use less leaf. Change one variable at a time so you can tell which one was responsible.

Who should avoid Green Rooibos Citrus Infusion?

Caffeine-free does not mean appropriate for every person, condition, or medication. Use individualized medical guidance for pregnancy, medication interactions, allergies, reflux, or other health concerns. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.
