Organic Green Tea - Honeybush and Green Rooibos with Mint from Carmién
65

This not strictly green tea. It is honeybush (normal I guess. I do not know if there is such a thing as green honeybush) with green rooibos and supposedly some mint flavouring. I say supposedly because I did not notice it – maybe my package is too old and mint too volatile, or maybe I brew it too long (it´s rooibos. It stays there till I am ready to drink it).

To me it tastes mostly like plain green rooibos – the first rooibos I ever had was green rooibos and I am quite partial. It is a totally different taste (and infusion colour) than normal red rooibos. Its taste is more herbal, “greener”, a bit more like green tea or linden or camomile or a mix of all of those. Not bitter at all. I like this a lot and might rebuy – though I am looking as well for good quality plain green rooibos as well, and good quality plain honeybush.

Gewöhnlich bin ich kein großer Freund von Rooibos-Tee. Aber dieser Tee war heute nachmittag voller Wärme und Staub Südafrikas. Mit Milch und Zucker hat mir sehr gut getan.
