Brewing Instructions: Customize Your Citrus Infusion
Add orange zest to taste based on your preferred citrus intensity. Start with 1-2 teaspoons per cup and adjust according to personal preference.
Pour freshly boiled water (100°C/212°F) over the zest and steep for 5-7 minutes. Longer steeping times release more essential oils for stronger citrus flavor, while shorter steeps create a lighter, more delicate infusion.
Serving suggestions:
- Enjoy solo as a bright, refreshing caffeine-free infusion
- Blend with chamomile or lavender for a calming evening ritual
- Combine with hibiscus and rose hips for a fruity wellness blend
- Add to green or black tea for enhanced citrus notes
- Mix with fresh mint leaves for a Moroccan-inspired infusion
The zest can be steeped multiple times, with each infusion revealing different aromatic layers. For iced versions, steep with extra zest, then chill and serve over ice with fresh herbs.
Store in an airtight container away from direct sunlight to preserve aromatic compounds and maintain freshness.
Pure Organic Ingredient: Hand-Selected Moroccan Orange Zest
100% organic sweet orange zest (*Citrus sinensis*) from the Rutaceae family, harvested from premium Moroccan citrus groves where traditional cultivation methods meet modern organic standards.
Each golden-amber zest piece contains concentrated natural oils rich in limonene, the aromatic compound responsible for that unmistakable bright, uplifting citrus fragrance. The zest carries subtle notes of honey sweetness beneath its zesty exterior, creating layers of flavor complexity in every steep.
Cold-pressed extraction preserves the delicate volatile compounds that give this botanical its characteristic sunny, cheerful aroma. The dried zest maintains its vibrant color, indicating careful processing that protects beneficial plant compounds from degradation.
Naturally contains trace amounts of linalool and geraniol, aromatic compounds that contribute to the overall sensory profile. The zest's slightly textured surface releases essential oils gradually during steeping, allowing for adjustable flavor intensity.

Mediterranean Citrus Traditions & Moroccan Cultivation
Sweet orange (*Citrus sinensis*) originated in ancient Asia, where citrus cultivation began over 4,000 years ago. The fruit traveled along trade routes to the Mediterranean, becoming deeply embedded in North African and European cultural traditions by the medieval period.
In Moroccan culture, orange groves represent prosperity and hospitality. Traditional Moroccan tea ceremonies sometimes incorporate orange zest to add brightness to mint tea blends, creating a signature flavor profile that balances refreshing herbs with citrus warmth.
Mediterranean herbalists have used orange zest in folk remedies for centuries. Greek and Roman physicians documented its use for digestive complaints, while medieval European apothecaries included it in tonics designed to lift spirits and support vitality.
The orange tree holds symbolic significance across cultures, representing joy, abundance, and renewal. In Chinese tradition, oranges are associated with good fortune and celebration, while Mediterranean cultures view orange blossoms and zest as symbols of happiness and health.
Morocco's citrus industry combines centuries-old cultivation knowledge with modern organic farming practices. The country's Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights, produces oranges with exceptional aromatic intensity. Moroccan farmers maintain traditional harvesting methods, hand-selecting fruits at peak ripeness to ensure optimal essential oil content in the zest.
