The brew made from the dried Rooibos leaves is therefore a herbal infusion (known as a tisane) rather than a tea, but is widely known as Rooibos tea.Rooibos has a distinctive colour, flavour and aroma, which differentiates it from most other teas. The flavour can be described as slightly sweet and fruity.The vibrant amber colour of Rooibos comes from the natural colour that develops during the post-harvest fermentation(oxidation) process, brought about by natural enzymes in the plant. Rooibos is a pure and natural product as it contains no colourants, additives,preservatives. Rooibos has no kilojoules.Rooibos is available as plain or flavoured tea, as loose leaves or in tea bags. It is often blended with other herbal teas.Rooibos is graded according to colour, flavour and cut length.Rooibos ages well and can be stored for long periods without any deterioration in quality, flavour and taste.In many countries Rooibos is enjoyed as a hot or cold beverage without milk, with or without sweeteners. Many South Africans enjoy Rooibos as a hot beverage with milk, sweetened with sugar or honey.Green Rooibos is made from the same plant as traditional Rooibos. The only difference is in the processing. For traditional Rooibos, the green leaves and stems of the plant are crushed and fermented before drying. The fermentation step is actually an oxidation process brought about by enzymes and chemicals naturally present in the plant. In the case of green Rooibos, the fermentation process is skipped, and the Green leaves and stems are dried directly. Different processes are used to prevent oxidation inGreen (unfermented) Rooibos.
