Green Rooibos - Rooibos tea 100 grams - Café du Jour loose tea

What is green rooibos tea?

Green rooibos tea is the unfermented version of rooibos. The leaves are not fermented after harvesting, which gives this tea a lighter colour and a milder, more delicate flavour than regular rooibos. The result is a gentle, smooth cup that you can enjoy at any time of day.

How does it differ from regular rooibos?

Regular rooibos goes through a fermentation process that deepens its colour and gives it an earthy, slightly sweet flavour. Green rooibos skips that step. Because it is unfermented, it has a softer, fresher taste. Both varieties are by nature free of caffeine and low in tannins, but green rooibos tends to taste lighter overall.

• Unfermented: lighter colour and milder flavour
• By nature free of caffeine, just like regular rooibos
• Low in tannins for a smooth, gentle cup
• Enjoyable hot or cold

Who is it suitable for?

Green rooibos tea suits anyone who enjoys a mild drink that is by nature free of caffeine throughout the day. Because it contains no caffeine and is low in tannins, it is a natural choice for people who want to avoid caffeine without giving up a warming, flavourful cup of tea.

A gentle choice for everyday drinking

Whether you prefer your tea in the morning, in the afternoon, or in the evening, green rooibos fits easily into your daily routine. Its mild taste makes it approachable for those who find regular tea too strong or too bitter. You can drink it hot in winter or serve it over ice in summer.

How do you use green rooibos tea?

This green rooibos tea comes as loose leaf tea, so you can brew it exactly the way you like. Use a tea strainer, infuser or teapot with a built-in filter to steep the leaves. The loose leaf format gives you full control over the strength of your cup.

Brewing tips

1. Add one to two teaspoons of loose green rooibos to your infuser or strainer.
2. Pour hot water over the leaves. Water that is just off the boil works well.
3. Let the tea steep for five to seven minutes, depending on how strong you like it.
4. Remove the leaves and enjoy your cup hot, or let it cool and serve over ice for a refreshing cold brew.

Because green rooibos is low in tannins, it does not turn bitter if you steep it a little longer. This makes it a forgiving tea to brew, even if you are new to loose leaf tea.
