Rooibos (pronounced "roy-boss") is a nutritious, caffeine-free tea grown the mountainous Cedarberg area north of Cape Town in South Africa. Commonly, the Rooibos plants are harvested, fermented and dried in the sun. The sun induces the change from verdant green to the mahogany red. However, some tea merchants are now offering a green version of Rooibos.
This organic Green Rooibos is not oxidized like Red Bush. The leaves and stems remain green and the infusion has a bright orange color with a unique earthy flavor and a sweet finish. The MySips Tea Company specializes in supplying fresh, organic rooibos and yerba mate. You can also see their selection of red Rooibos tea here. :: MySips Tea Company
