Green rooibos is harvested from the same South African plant as the traditional red rooibos, but is processed differently. Whereas the red rooibos leaves are bruised and oxidised, the green rooibos leaves are specially treated to prevent oxidation, leaving them closer to their natural state. The resulting brew is lighter-bodied, less citric-piney than red rooibos and delivers a woody-grassy cup with natural sweetness and fruit notes. The sweetness and low tannin content of green rooibos tea ensures a smooth, never bitter brew that requires little, if any, sweetener. Like red rooibos it is also naturally caffeine-free and great plain or flavoured, hot or iced for anytime enjoyment.
