Organic Positively Tea Company Organic South African Green Rooibos Loose Leaf 16 oz — USDA Organic, Caffeine-Free

Organic Positively Tea Company's South African Green Rooibos is a USDA-certified organic, naturally caffeine-free loose-leaf tea with a sweet, mellow flavor profile.

This 16-ounce bag contains 100% organic green rooibos sourced from South Africa and packaged by Organic Positively Tea Company. Green rooibos is the minimally oxidized form of the rooibos plant, delivering a lighter, less piney taste than red rooibos while retaining the plant's characteristic naturally caffeine-free profile and nutritive polyphenols. The loose-leaf format gives you control over strength and brew method, and one pound yields roughly 150–240 cups depending on how strong you like it.

How does green rooibos differ from red rooibos in flavor and use?

Green rooibos is harvested and processed with less oxidation than traditional red rooibos, resulting in a brighter, slightly grassy, and sweeter cup. It's versatile—enjoy it hot, iced, or as a base for herbal blends and caffeine-free chai alternatives.

• Sweet, mellow, and light grassy tasting notes
• Less piney than red rooibos, good for delicate blends
• Works well hot, cold-brewed, or mixed with citrus and spices

What are the brewing guidelines for best flavor?

For a balanced cup, start with about 1 teaspoon per 8 oz of water and steep 5–7 minutes in water just off boil (about 200–212°F). Adjust leaf quantity and steep time for stronger or weaker brews—loose leaf lets you fine-tune strength and infusion length.

• Ratio: ~1 tsp (2–3 g) per 8 oz water
• Steep 5–7 minutes; longer for stronger taste
• Cold brew: steep in refrigerator 6–12 hours for smooth iced tea

What does the 16-ounce bag provide and how long will it last?

A 16-ounce (1 pound) bag contains enough loose leaf to make approximately 150–240 cups, depending on how many teaspoons you use per cup. Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to keep flavor fresh and extend shelf life.

• About 150–240 servings per pound depending on brew strength
• Best kept in airtight, light-blocking storage
• Great value for daily drinkers and tea recipe makers
