Description
Green Rooibos from Nelson's Tea is an unoxidized version of the classic South African red bush plant, giving a lighter, sweeter cup than its traditional counterpart. The leaves keep their natural green color because they skip the fermentation step used to create red rooibos, preserving more of the plant's delicate character.
Drinkers enjoy a naturally sweet profile that works hot or chilled over ice. This caffeine-free brew has long been linked with digestive comfort and general wellness, making it a smooth pick for any time of day, including late evenings before bed.
