Green Rooibos Tea is "sister" to the original red bush tea and is made by stopping the natural fermentation and oxidation process. After the leaves and stems are cut, they are withered, immediately steamed or heated to oxidation, and then rolled and dried. The resulting tea is more delicate, aromatic, and has a heartier herbal taste with a lighter color than traditional red bush tea. Green rooibos is up to two times richer in flavonoids and antioxidants than traditional red bush tea.
