In addition to red rooibos , another variety of this shrub, which grows only in Africa, is becoming more popular. This is natural green rooibos , which is practically a "green tea" (without caffeine) and is characterized by its slightly acidic, fresh flavor. It is also a very healthy pleasure with many valuable ingredients.
This is not by chance, but because it contains properties that we also find in traditional Rooibos tea, but unlike this one it does not have any type of stimulant, therefore green Rooibos is especially suitable for children and athletes, but it is also a wonderful caffeine-free alternative to green tea , which can be taken by pregnant women or people with hypertension problems.
Additionally, one of the most popular uses of this drink is as an antihistamine, as it gently treats allergies without causing drowsiness.

Difference between Green and Red Rooibos Tea
Green Rooibos tea is not fermented, unlike red Rooibos. For this purpose, it must be dried immediately after harvesting, which requires very careful handling. Therefore, the harvested plants must not be crushed or come into contact with water. After drying, they must be turned and moved constantly, as if a mistake is made during this process, fermentation will occur, resulting in a red tea, not the green one we are looking for.

Due to the careful and labor-intensive manufacturing process required, green rooibos is slightly more expensive than red rooibos. The elimination of the fermentation process during production particularly affects the tannin and polyphenol content, while other valuable nutrients are better preserved than in red rooibos. Green rooibos is significantly more antioxidant-rich than red rooibos, as it is fresher and its polyphenols are still intact.
How to prepare Green Rooibos Tea
We prepare organic green rooibos tea just like we do red rooibos . The longer the infusion, the more yellow/red its color. This is the process when the tea comes into contact with oxygen (oxidation), but it has no effect on its flavor or ingredients.
A strong organic infusion of rooibos tea (2 teaspoons per cup), and the long infusion time of 10 minutes, make green rooibos tea a caffeine-free alternative to black tea .
Green Rooibos tastes fresh and slightly grassy, tastes as good cold as it does hot, and is well suited as a base for Asian soups and curries, as well as refreshing iced teas .
Rooibos tea has many benefits , so enjoying a good cup of this organic tea is a real privilege. Furthermore, rooibos tea contains very little caffeine, so even during pregnancy, it's safe to drink. In other cases, rooibos tea for weight loss is also a good alternative to other beverages.
