Green rooibos with red fruits, a childhood-flavored delight
Native to Africa, Aspalathus linearis comes in natural green rooibos or fermented red rooibos. Complementary, these two rooibos preparations unite in our infusion to obtain a note that is both fresh and smooth. The drink's smoothness is intensified by the presence of cornflower petals and blackberry leaves. From the moment it steeps, your drink takes you back to childhood thanks to the fragrance released by the strawberry, grape, and orange pieces.
Caffeine-free, red rooibos releases a beautiful ruby color that delights both your eyes and your taste buds. Immediate takeoff to the land of well-being and carefree living.
The benefits and virtues of green rooibos
Like Honeybush, rooibos are traditional drinks in Africa. While red rooibos is more popular, green rooibos contains more antioxidants. Rooibos are generally used to aid digestion, regulate transit, fight allergies, and promote good sleep.
In our infusion, we combine rooibos with marigold, a flower known to soothe digestive tissues and fight inflammation. Cornflower blossoms give red tea anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties. Finally, the strawberry, grape, and orange pieces have "health" properties that can regulate immune and digestive systems.
Our tasting tips
How to prepare green rooibos?
Our green rooibos infusion is simply prepared in a cup of hot water. For a rich taste, our red tea recipes call for 7 to 10 minutes of steeping. For a more intense flavor, our rooibos infusion pairs well with spices or plants of your choice.
How much green rooibos to use?
To obtain a flavorful red fruit green rooibos, we recommend using 15 to 20 grams of the plant mixture per liter of hot water. This represents one spoonful of product per cup.
What is the ideal steeping temperature for green rooibos?
To preserve the properties of natural green rooibos, as well as fermented red rooibos, steeping at 100°C is optimal. At higher temperatures, the infusion risks losing the medicinal properties of the plants and fruits.
When to drink green rooibos?
Free of caffeine, rooibos, whether green or red, can be consumed during the day and evening. This "health" drink is actually suitable for the whole family, including children.
The benefits of loose green rooibos
In loose form, our green rooibos is flavored with beautiful fruit pieces. Unlike individual tea bags, the resealable "flavor" box preserves a product rich in taste and health benefits. The quality and properties remain intact thanks to this optimal storage method. You thus have the freedom to use the amount of plants you wish to create your favorite recipes.
