Copper Lemon
First developed as a summertime refresher, this World Spice Original starts with the African bush Rooibos, combined with notes of lemon and tart hibiscus to round out the flavor. It brews to a rich coppery color. We like Copper Lemon hot year-round and iced in the summer as an afternoon cooler.

Tea 101
Copper Lemon is a vibrant, caffeine-free tea blend that brings together the robust flavors of lemongrass, hibiscus, rooibos, honeybush, and lemon peel. Originally crafted as a summertime beverage, it brews into a rich coppery hue, offering a tart and fruity profile that's equally delightful whether served hot or iced.
The history of the ingredients in Copper Lemon spans continents and cultures, each contributing uniquely to this refreshing blend. Rooibos, a plant native to South Africa, has been used by the indigenous Khoisan people for centuries, largely for its potential health benefits and its soothing, earthy flavor. Hibiscus, often found in tropical climates, has been a staple in both African and Caribbean culinary traditions, known for its vivid color and tart flavor, which complements the citrusy zest of lemongrass—a favorite in Thai and Vietnamese cuisine.
Copper Lemon's robust, fruity tang and the soothing undertones of rooibos and honeybush make it a perfect companion for both relaxation and rejuvenation. Whether you're enjoying it piping hot on a chilly evening or sipping it iced on a balmy day, Copper Lemon never fails to impress.
You can freeze brewed Copper Lemon tea into ice cubes to use in smoothies, slushies, and blended cocktails!
