Lemon Soufflé
Allow yourself to be transported into sweet memories with this soothing caffeine-free rooibos tea. The invigorating scent of lemon is mellowed into balance with the sweeter notes of vanilla, cornflower, honeybush, and calendula petals for a treat to be enjoyed alone or with loved ones. While having a natural sweetness of its own, this herbal is always nicely enhanced by a little white sugar to make for an extra special indulgence!
