Green Rooibos Mint Refresh

Rooibos loose leaf tea leaves come from the Aspalathus Linearis (red bush) plant grown in South Africa.  Rooibos is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties.  It is naturally caffeine-free and low in tannins (so they it has no bitterness).  Green Rooibos loose leaf tea leaves are steamed and dried to prevent oxidation/fermentation.  It has a mild smooth and grassy flavor similar to traditional green tea.  

Flavor Profile:  A mild smooth and grassy flavor similar to green tea using organic spearmint, organic peppermint and organic lemon verbena.  Spearmint has a sweet, smoothy and minty flavor with a mild menthol undertone that is milder  than peppermint.  Peppermint is similar to spearmint with a much higher menthol content, giving it a much stronger flavor.  Lemon verbena has a bright, slightly sweet, herbaceous flavor with a distinct hint of lemon.  The combination of these herbs provides for a perfectly refreshing mint flavor.  No artificial flavors or preservatives.
