Description
Latin Name : Aspalathus Linearis
Origin Country:Africa
Green rooibos tea is a type of tea made from the leaves of the rooibos plant (Aspalathus linearis), which is native to South Africa. Unlike traditional rooibos tea, which undergoes a fermentation process that turns the leaves red, green rooibos tea is made from leaves that are quickly dried and steamed to prevent fermentation, thus retaining their green colour.
Green rooibos tea has a milder and slightly sweeter taste compared to traditional red rooibos tea. It often has grassy, herbaceous, and slightly nutty notes, with a naturally sweet undertone.
Green rooibos tea can be enjoyed hot or cold and is often used as a base for herbal blends or flavoured teas. It pairs well with various herbs, fruits, and spices, making it a versatile ingredient in tea blends.
