Latin Name : Aspalathus Linearis
Origin Country: European Union
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.

To make an infusion, place 1-2 teaspoons of dried herb in a tea infuser or teapot or mug for each cup of tea you intend to brew. Cover with boiling water. Place on the lid (or cover your cup with a saucer).
Allow the mixture to steep for 10 ‘to 15’ minutes or overnight.
Then strain the tea and serve. Add if you want honey, milk or lemon wedge for flavour.
You can also enjoy it like a refreshing iced drink.
Although Rooibos tea is generally considered safe to use, medicinally, consuming more than the recommended dosage may cause diarrhea and turn rooibos tea into a laxative.
In any case you should consult with your healthcare doctor before using any herb especially if you’re taking other medications or having health problems.
