Green Rooibos
With green rooibos, fermentation is sought to be avoided. For this
reason, the plant has to be treated very carefully from its harvest
onwards. The plants may not be squeezed or placed on top of each other,
not watered, and need to be turned and moved frequently. If this is not
done carefully, the undesired red colour develops.
Apart from
avoiding the fermentation, the production process is similar to that of
the rooibos. The green rooibos is dried in sacks and it may happen that
the tea ferments itself through its rest humidity, colouring it
slightly red. This, then, also indicates whether the tea is still fresh
or has already been stored for along time.
