Blender’s Notes African Green Rooibos:
Our Green Rooibos is a great alternative to a standard tea because it has no caffeine.  Many customers often use this as a wonderful desert tea option with low to no calories. It has such a soft and creamy taste and can be sweetened, and it will aid in digestion.  This blend has the great rich taste of Rooibos (pronounced ROY-boss) with no added enhancements. This tea can be added to any of the other blends to increase antioxidants and Vitamin C. It is very low in tannins and a great healthy heart option for tea lovers.
Green rooibos, originates from the Western Cape province of South Africa. Indigenous to the region, it has been enjoyed for centuries by the Khoisan people for its refreshing taste and health benefits. Green rooibos tea is made from the newly picked and quickly dried leaves of Aspalathus linearis. This shrub, which belongs to the pea family and is naturally caffeine-free and rich in antioxidants and is an unoxidized variation of rooibos tea. This minimal processing helps retain its natural green color and delicate flavor, which is often described as grassy and slightly sweet. Green rooibos is caffeine-free and rich in antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, which have been linked to various health benefits. Green rooibos has twice the level of antioxidants as red rooibos. It especially has higher levels of the flavonoids nothofagin and aspalathin. These antioxidants are believed to help protect the body’s cells from damage by free radicals, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Green rooibos is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which may help alleviate symptoms of arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.
Rooibos teas are free of caffeine. They are also rich in antioxidants and enhance iron absorption. This makes rooibos an excellent option for people who suffer from insomnia, headaches, increased heart rate ~ Low in tannins: People who have anemia can drink rooibos tea, because it does not interfere with iron absorption, unlike tannin-based teas ~ Could lower the risk of diabetes ~ May lower cholesterol and benefit cardiovascular health: drinking rooibos tea may improve cholesterol levels and lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Regular consumption may even lower blood pressure ~ Promote digestive health ~ May improve bone health: The calcium and magnesium content of rooibos can benefit bone health ~ Regular consumption may relieve seasonal allergies in some people

Rooibos is a very unique type of tea…and it actually isn’t a part of the Camellia Sinensis plant at all. Rooibos comes from a shrub Aspalathus linearis that is a part of the legume family (e.g. peas, beans and peanuts) and grows to about four feet high and looks like a sagebrush. Since the 1700’s, Rooibos has been grown primarily from the mountainous Cederberg region of South Africa’s Western Cape. This tea will have slightly red color and will have a slightly sweet taste.
Most of the harvest for Rooibos is done during the Summer months. The two types of Rooibos are Green and Red. The Green Rooibos is simply a plucked leaf that is dried and packaged. This has a more mild taste and a beautiful green color. The most popular is Red Rooibos (its namesake) and is plucked, fermented and oxidized giving it its rich red color. This version is a very creamy and sweeter taste. However, both versions of Rooibos have their own set of antioxidants and offer many health benefits.
Pu erh is also very forgiving when steeping, you can steep the leaves with boiling water for 10 minutes or several hours because it will not get bitter. The flavor of Rooibos will get richer and creamier with longer steep times.
