La boîte à thé

Nous parlons très souvent des thés verts, noirs ou blancs mais plus rarement du “rouge” plus communément appelé rooibos. Dans cet article nous vous dévoilons tous ces secrets: comment le préparer, le consommer et quels sont ces bienfaits.

Le rooibos est originaire d’Afrique du Sud, il est consommé depuis plus de 300 ans par les indigènes sous forme d’infusion. La récolte se fait pendant les 3 premiers mois de l’année pendant la saison estivale.

Préparation du rooibos

Peut-être que cela va vous paraître être une évidence, que ce n’est pas la peine de réexpliquer comment préparer une infusion, et pourtant... Reprenons depuis le début! Préparer un bon thé ou une infusion est tout un art!

Commençons d’abord par l’eau, en effet l’eau de votre infusion ou thé à toute son importance. L’eau du robinet et celle généralement la plus utilisée, toutefois son goût peut être trop chloré, trop salé… Vous pouvez plutôt préférer une eau minérale qui une fois chauffée (non bouilli!) sera parfaite pour votre infusion.

Le rooibos peut également être infusé à froid, très pratique en été pour déguster en thé glacé!

Ensuite, la température de l’eau, nous ne le répéterons jamais assez, l’eau d’un thé ne doit en aucun cas être bouillie, cela risque de brûler les feuilles et désaltérer le goût de votre boisson chaude. Concernant le temps d’infusion le Rooibos étant une infusion peut être infusé 5 à 10 min, vous pouvez le laisser moins de temps si vous appréciez les infusions plus légères.

Pour tout savoir sur la température et le dosage vous pouvez d’ailleurs relire notre précédent article!

Enfin l’infuseur a également son importance! Le Rooibos a la particularité d’être très fin ainsi si vous utilisez un infuseur qui n’est pas adapté les feuilles risquent de se disperser dans la tasse. Nous vous recommandons d’utiliser un infuseur en métal à déposer dans la tasse.

Consommation du rooibos

Le rooibos peut se consommer à toutes heures de la journée! En effet il s’agit d’une infusion et ne contient donc pas de théine! Aucun risque de ne pas s’endormir le soir au contraire! Que ce soit dans la matinée, l'après-midi ou en soirée, n’hésitez pas à déguster une bonne tasse de rooibos.

Il existe d’ailleurs de nombreux sortes de rooibos aromatisés à toutes sortes de goûts, fruités, épicés… à vous de choisir celui qui vous conviendra le mieux.

Bienfaits du rooibos

Le rooibos tout comme le thé vert, noir ou blanc, possède de nombreuses vertus!
Saviez-vous qu’en Afrique du Sud les mamans donnent à leurs nourrissons du rooibos? Il ne contient pas de théine et surtout aurait un effet bénéfique sur les coliques et les problèmes digestifs des bébés.

Vous l’aurez compris le rooibos possède des vertus digestif et diminue les crampes d’estomac.
