Aasana Rooibos Lemon Sunshine Tea

G.E. Barbour has been blending tea in Atlantic Canada since 1910, making it the only tea manufacturer in the region. Based in Sussex, New Brunswick, the company has spent over a century sourcing from world-renowned tea gardens and building a reputation for quality that extends from its flagship King Cole Tea to newer, wellness-focused lines. AASANA is the company's most recent brand, developed to meet demand for clean, plant-based herbal blends. All AASANA teas are blended and packaged in Canada using ethically sourced ingredients. The standout feature of the range is the inclusion of Bcalm L-Theanine, a patented form of the naturally occurring amino acid found in traditional tea, which is added to the herbal base to deliver a sense of calm without any caffeine. Rooibos Lemon Sunshine combines naturally caffeine-free rooibos with bright lemon, producing a cup that is light, smooth, and gently citrusy. It drinks well on its own, without milk, and works equally well hot or cold. The lemon keeps things fresh without tipping into sharpness, and the rooibos base adds a soft, rounded body. A sound choice for any time of day, whether mid-afternoon or last thing at night. How to brew the perfect cup Bring fresh water to approximately 95°C (just off the boil). Place one tea bag in your mug and pour over the hot water. Steep for 4 to 5 minutes to develop the full rooibos and lemon character. Remove the bag without squeezing. Serve without milk. Add honey if desired. For iced tea, brew double strength and pour over ice once cooled. How does it compare? Fruity & Caffeine Free: London Fruit & Herb Peach Paradise Tea Herbal & Caffeine Free: Heath & Heather Apple & Cinnamon Tea Herbal Alternative: Ridgways Peppermint Tea All three are caffeine-free herbal options, but each has a distinct character. The London Fruit & Herb Peach Paradise is softer and sweeter, leaning into stone fruit rather than citrus. Heath & Heather's Apple & Cinnamon brings warmth and spice, making it a better fit for cooler evenings. Ridgways Peppermint is clean and cooling, with none of the gentle sweetness that rooibos naturally provides. The Aasana Rooibos Lemon Sunshine sits between the fruit teas and the straight herbals, with the added distinction of its L-Theanine inclusion.
