What does everyone think about rooibos tea? I personally love it. Especially loose leaf brewed for three minutes.

I love the red,never tried the green.Used to buy it at the South African owned markets in Tanzania,very cheap .

Wow. Are you located in Africa? I have also never tried the green. I wonder what the differences are.
I'm in the U.S. now,but have traveled to Africa several times.The South Africans have ultra modern supermarkets in Tanzania,where you can find the tea fairly cheap..http://www.adagio.com/rooibos/green_rooibos.html....I always bring home the loose pack of "Eleven O'clock"....

Sounds great
Numi makes a red and green rooibos. Personally, the green wasn't worth it to me, but I love that buttery flavor of the red.

Agreed, the red seems mildly nutty to me as well but is overall wonderfully smooth.
I like the flavor of the red ,but scientific data suggests the green has more medicinal value...
Rooibos.
Have drunk hundreds of gallons of the stuff over my life.
It's relatively new to the North American market en masse, and because it's naturally a little bitter it doesn't sit well with the North Americans' palates which prefer sweet things, which is why they've flavoured it.
And also, it is naturally caffeine free.
And the difference between the green and original red variety:

Love a strong cup of red Rooibos and milk! It's the only herbal tea that I like.
Black and sweet for me. Very seldom do I add milk to that, and even more seldom do I drink it black and unsweetened.
We just moved to the USA from South Africa. Rooibos is so incredibly common there. Many babies drink it in their bottles!
Due to my caffeine allergy/sensitivity, I drink Rooibos almost exclusively. Love the stuff!
I've had the red in an iced form and it was very tasty!
