Green Rooibos Natural
Nature's Pure Ingredient
Green Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis)
Carefully harvested from the rugged Cederberg region of South Africa, this unoxidized rooibos maintains its natural green state through specialized processing methods. The needle-like leaves are harvested and immediately dried to prevent oxidation, preserving their unique properties and delicate flavor profile.
Traditional Brewing Method
To fully extract the beneficial compounds and delicate flavor profile:
- Water Temperature: Use fresh water heated to 100°C (212°F)
- Quantity: Use 15-20g (approximately 3-4 teaspoons) per liter of water
- Steeping Time: Allow to steep for 7-10 minutes; longer steeping will increase antioxidant content
- Cold Brew Option: Steep overnight in cold water for a refreshing alternative
- Serving Suggestions: Can be enjoyed hot or cold, with or without honey
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container away from light and moisture
Traditional African Medicine Meets Modern Wellness
Green Rooibos offers an impressive array of health-supporting properties, particularly due to its high antioxidant content and unique compounds:
- Aspalathin: This rare antioxidant, found almost exclusively in rooibos, helps regulate blood sugar and may improve insulin resistance. Research indicates it may help prevent type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular complications
- Nothofagin: Another powerful antioxidant that works synergistically with aspalathin to provide enhanced protective effects against oxidative stress
- Antioxidant Complex: Contains additional antioxidants including quercetin, luteolin, and orientin, which help combat free radicals and reduce inflammation
- Mineral Rich: Provides essential minerals including zinc, calcium, magnesium, and iron, supporting bone health and immune function
- Heart Health Support: Studies suggest regular consumption may help maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels
- Respiratory Support: Traditional use includes supporting respiratory health and alleviating allergic symptoms
- Digestive Benefits: Contains antispasmodic compounds that may help ease digestive discomfort
- Skin Health: The antioxidants and alpha-hydroxy acids may help improve skin conditions and slow signs of aging
- Sleep Quality: Being naturally caffeine-free, it supports healthy sleep patterns while providing calming effects
A Legacy of Traditional Healing
The story of rooibos is deeply woven into South African culture, particularly among the Khoisan people who first discovered its benefits centuries ago. These indigenous people would climb the mountains to harvest the wild-growing plants, using them for their medicinal properties. The Dutch settlers in the region later adopted this practice, leading to the tea's commercialization in the early 20th century.
The Cederberg region, the only place in the world where rooibos grows naturally, is characterized by its dramatic landscapes and unique microclimate. This harsh environment, with its poor soil conditions and extreme temperatures, contributes to the plant's remarkable resilience and concentrated beneficial compounds.
