Organic Green Rooibos

Organic green Rooibos: a journey to Africa

Organic green Rooibos takes you to the sun-baked soils of South Africa. A true sensory journey, our organic Rooibos is sourced and certified from its region of origin. With its delicate golden hue, deepening toward amber with a longer steep, green Rooibos sets itself apart from its cousin red Rooibos through its fresh, lightly tangy flavour. For those who enjoy gentle complexity, it blends beautifully with other botanicals. Many of our customers also love a touch of sweetness, pairing it with red Rooibos, honeyed Honeybush, vanilla, fruit or flowers. Whatever the season, this infusion lends itself to endless aromatic possibilities, all to the benefit of your wellbeing.

The benefits of organic green Rooibos

Less well known than red Rooibos, green Rooibos is every bit as interesting from a wellness perspective. Made from the dried leaves of the plant, this organic herbal infusion has traditionally been used to ease digestion and soothe digestive discomfort. Thanks to its antioxidant content, green Rooibos is also thought to help counter premature ageing and may offer protection against certain degenerative conditions. Rich in vitamin A, it may support healthy skin and help maintain visual acuity, particularly in children and older adults. Enjoyed on its own or blended with a calming botanical, green Rooibos is also known to be conducive to a good night's sleep.

Brewing guide

How to prepare organic green Rooibos

Like its red (fermented) counterpart, organic green Rooibos is best steeped for around 8 minutes in hot water. It offers a fresh flavour with a gentle tang, not unlike a green tea. At Christmas, it pairs wonderfully with flowers and vanilla for a sweeter, more festive cup.

How much organic green Rooibos to use

For a fragrant, well-rounded cup, we recommend using 20 grams of loose-leaf Rooibos per litre of hot water. The flavour is at its finest when the Rooibos comes from a loose-leaf blend stored in a resealable pouch.

What is the ideal brewing temperature for organic green Rooibos?

To release its full flavour and beneficial properties, green Rooibos should be brewed at 100 °C (212 °F). As it contains neither caffeine nor tannins, a Rooibos infusion retains its taste and wellness qualities even with a longer steep.

When can you drink organic green Rooibos?

Unlike tea, Rooibos (green or red) is naturally caffeine-free. It can therefore be enjoyed throughout the day, with no concern for your health. After a meal, it aids digestion; in the evening, it gently unwinds the day for a restful night.

The benefits of loose-leaf organic green Rooibos

Our organic green Rooibos is sold loose-leaf, in a resealable pouch. This format preserves the flavour of the infusion and ensures optimal storage conditions. Buying loose-leaf also means excellent value for money.
