Green Rooibos from Shanti Tea

Green Rooibos

Green Rooibos Blend by Shanti Tea

Light, vegetal taste, with a hint of vanilla

A light, fresh tastin rooibos which is quickly withered and steamed to prevent oxidation. This allows it to retain its green color. It has a grassy aroma similar to sencha, and tastes mildly sweet. Studies have shown that green rooibos has more anti-oxidants than red rooibos, bringing closer in line with green tea.

Very nice. Lightly sweet. I prefer green rooibos over red rooibos and this tisane reminds me why. The sweetness here is much more natural tasting, like it’s been derived from sun-ripened fruit as opposed to that saccharine-like sweetness that I taste from red rooibos. No funky aftertaste either.

The flavor is slightly vegetal, not quite grassy like a green tea kind of grassy, but, more like a sweet/fruity kind of vegetal, and notes of nut and wood in the background. It is light and crisp. Enjoyable.

A nice standard Green Rooibos…a very little sweetness paired with a little nutty-vegetal taste but quite smooth.

Drinking only Rooibos and Honeybush for the rest of today…
