100g packet of loose leaf Organic Green Rooibos
Wonderful refreshing tea with a deep rich smokey taste, can also be blended with any of our flavoured red Rooibos or for a distinct rich and sweet flavour with our Honeyush tea.
Green Rooibos comes
from the same plant as the popular "Red Rooibos" - it is actually nothing else
than the un-oxidized (unfermented) form of Red Rooibos. The Cederberg region of
the Western Cape of South Africa is the only place it is grown in the world.
This small leguminous shrub has needle like leaves and fine stems with tiny
yellow flowers. Green Rooibos is handpicked in the summer, and then
immediately allowed to dry without
exposing it to the sun. Green Rooibos has increased effectiveness of Red Rooibos’ properties due to the elimination of oxidization, thus boosting the benefits.
Preparation
The active constituents of Green Rooibos, if simmered or steeped for 10-15
minutes, are stronger and more accessible to the body. Steep tea bags as long as
desired. Like regular Rooibos, the tea will not go
bitter.
