Green rooibos is harvested from the same South African plant as the traditional red rooibos but is processed differently. Whereas the red rooibos leaves are bruised and oxidized, the green rooibos leaves are specially treated to prevent oxidation, leaving them closer to their natural state. The resulting brew is lighter-bodied, less citric-piney than red rooibos and delivers a woody-grassy cup with natural sweetness and fruit notes. This natural sweetness and low tannin content ensure a smooth, never bitter brew that requires little if any, sweetener. Like red rooibos, it is also naturally caffeine-free and great plain or flavored, hot or iced for anytime enjoyment.
A lovely leafy green dragon for a leafy green tea! (is rooibos made of leaves?)
12:00 am
Pretty!
12:24 am
Yup, 😁. From the pictures I Googled it kind of reminds me of Scottish Broom. Or if it had purple blossoms, instead of yellow, a bit like Heather.
12:47 am
He is so cute!
12:51 am
Love your beautiful leaf dragon.

This is fantastic, Paula. Thanks! I'm sending it to my sons, they will love it.

Oh Paula, you beat me to it! I was just now awake enough to re-read Valerie’s note (at 4:00am, my brain wasn’t quite firing on all 4 cylinders!) and was going to take a look for this. I know it very well and it’s hilarious! My husband is a retired physical chemistry professor and he introduced me to it when we were dating a very very very long time ago. Thank you for posting the link. I never get tired of it and I never get over wondering how in the heck he ever did that. What an amazing brain!

Valerie, I never took chemistry in high school. California had some screwy curriculum ideas in the late 70s, but it does remind me of one of my favorite, silly movies. Evolution.👽👾👽
12:51 am
Honors Chemistry was my favorite science class my senior year :) our teacher made it fun and interesting.
09:04 am
Tyrell - you obviously are very bright. But a good teacher always makes a difference!
09:26 am
The moon was so pretty—- but I think my sky was too bright to see the comet
12:04 am
No moon here - clouds and chilly wind. I’ll take it IF the clouds drop some rain!

I love a good rooibos blend. Especially before bedtime. Enjoy today’s cup!

Yes, Bambi, hope it was a good one. What was it?

Mine is after midnight as well, Bambi, and I hate to reset it until the next morning, though I think I will be doing just that very soon.
07:26 am
I may be doing so as well. It wasn’t bad when I taught until 10:15 on Monday night but now that I don’t have a late class on Monday it is getting harder.
09:44 am
Have a good Tuesday, tea friends!
12:50 am
You too A😘
02:36 am
Stressful day, one car died (haven't used in 3 months and it is having a hard time in cold) and one car has service light on. Can't get service for a month. Dealership is that backed up. Normally wouldn't be a big deal but work wants to do a work party end of month 80 miles away and won't take no for an answer. I love that a party during work hours is more important then actual work.
01:42 am
Ahhh! Any chance you could see a mechanic not at the dealership? 😟
07:13 am
No it voids warranty
08:00 am
Steffi orry to hear abut the car problems. I would let work know about the car troubles and maybe someone can pick you up. Not a good time of year to get stranded.
09:36 am

Or maybe they would like to pay for a reliable rental for you for that day, Steffi?

Tyrell, I’ve been enjoying your art that you’ve been posting.
02:04 am
I second this, I always have to zoom in because they are like photos!!! They are so detailed and beautiful 😍
02:35 am
JS
I agree, Age. There have been many times I have looked at a photo of your painting, Tyrell, and do a double take. I think to myself, “I thought he was posting a painting but maybe this time it’s a photo he shot.” Not so. Very impressive talent there.

Paula, I third this. His artwork is so realistic and beautiful. I want to step into it and enjoy the serenity it brings.

I agree Paula that Tyrell's artwork is wonderful!
07:28 am
Thank you Paula! 😊 It's about time I start creating more, haven't been motivated this last month!
08:58 am
I didn’t realise it wasn’t photos until I read here - small pics are sometimes hard to distinguish. Went and viewed larger - it is amazing. Wonderful skills. Thank you for sharing.
10:02 am
JS
I’m guessing that’s because of the current weather, Tyrell? Maybe you should paint a cozy little cabin in a snowy wood. I can’t paint or draw worth a darn, so I’ll just wait to see where your next inspiration leads you.
24 mins ago
Thank you Age, Mary, Mechelle, and Janet, for your kind words! I'm glad you like them, that makes my day :)
09:01 am
Oh my , until you mentioned artwork I thought Tyrell was taking photographs!!! I am impressed with your artistic abilities Tyrell. Gorgeous pieces of landscape art, you are a Master artist!
09:39 am

I definitely have been also, Paula. You have such talent, Tyrell.

Hello tea fronds! 🫖🪴 I am reposting this earlier today to see if I can get help to solve a little problem I am having. I have been working on a new fandom and for some reason the banner won't show after it is uploaded. I don't remember having this problem before. I first uploaded it over the weekend and it wasn't working so I thought I needed to just wait for Monday. It is still showing "no band artwork". I have tried renaming the file, saving the file as jpeg & pdf, clearing the cache and re-uploading. Any ideas of why it is not showing up around the tea tin? Do you see an artwork band?https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=207658
02:18 am
Chasi, I haven't done any of my own blending with Adagio so I'm not sure what band artwork is. However, there is artwork showing on the tins and bags...the same as in the link preview in your post.
05:43 am
Hi Chasi, on a mobile device the bands don't show, but I will check again when I go into my office later. The lid artwork is lovely! And, it sounds tasty!
07:19 am
JS
Michelle, I’m on my iPhone and I can see the band art on it at 8:45am, pacific time, so apparently it’s been corrected.
19 mins ago
Chasi, I don't see any band artwork. I bet Elizabeth knows how to fix it.
09:42 am
Late to the game but I see a lovely peach mint green band when I click the link.
09:48 am
JS
I just looked (8:45am pacific time) ChasiTEA, and it shows now. I love the band art, and the blend sounds utterly delicious, especially for summertime. 😋

Good morning, Adagians. Happy Tuesday. I'm getting ready to do my workout and wanted to stop in before things get busy. I didn't realize there was a green rooibos tea. I'm sure I must have had it in the year plus that I've been here, probably in blends. I look forward to seeing what you all think of it, considering the rather definite opinions regarding rooibos in general. 😇🤣😇🫖😇 I wonder how many different kinds of rooibos there are...maybe there's a white rooibos? Hmmmm....something to look into. God bless and have a super day.
04:23 am
Good morning Marlicia.
06:26 am
Good morning, Sue. I hope you have a wonderful day! God bless...😇🫖😇
07:05 am
I'm looking forward to trying today's tea later on. I need my caffeine, so I'm starting my day with Ooooh Darjeeling. It is definitely a hearty Darjeeling!
04:49 am
Ruth, I'll have to give Ooooh Darjeeling a try as I don't think I've ever had it. I'm not a big Darjeeling fan but from your comment it sounds like I would like it.
05:47 am
You will be oooohing and ahhhing Mary.

Good morning, Mary. Two of the best teas to start the day!

PS
Good morning everyone! Have a wonderful day!🫖
05:35 am
And you as well, Pam.
05:48 am
Good aftermornoon! My non-24 rhythm is just over 180° flipped, so it's about my 2pm. So, I decided to switch to a green tea... none other than the CommuniTea collab blend: Zoinks!
05:46 am
Thanks for the suggestion, James. That tea blend sounds delicious, and I just added it to my wish list!
07:40 am
Michelle M, I love how you captured the flowers on your beautiful teaware in your amazing artwork. Just perfect.
06:00 am
Thank you, Mary. I'm practicing with wetter watercolors these days! I love the layering effects. I hope you have a wonderful, tea-filled Tuesday!
07:26 am
Good morning, I'm up early studying more for my test. I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday!

Good morning, Heather. What are you and Fox up to today? It looked like he was having a blast chasing the dead flowers yesterday. He's such a treasure.
06:03 am
I like green rooibos in blends, but by itself it’s just okay
06:05 am

It’s Vanna Knight, and she’s ready to spin the Wheel of Fortune for you! If you get a cork, she will pour you a glass of wine. But if you are really lucky and get a tea package, she will brew you the best cuppa tea you’ve ever had - Adagio, of course!
06:10 am
Glad she ditched the bankrupt panel , it would be a bummer to get neither of them! lol Thank you Jan for making me burst out into laughter first thing in the morning,
09:47 am

Sue, I was out in the garage looking for props for the latest photos when I saw this device. It’s sold with just the corkscrew tips welded together in a circle with the idea to place a cork on each screw and then use it on your dining table as a trivet. Did any of you already know this or did you have alternate ideas about what the heck it might be? So Janet has said before that she has some type of deciding wheel which I still can’t picture (maybe it’s an app on the computer?). Anyway, that helped me come up with this idea. Now I need to come up with some new ideas pronto. YIKES!

07:02 am
Good morning, everyone! I am SO happy to say that we have heat, we have gas, and we have water!!! 😃 I finally brushed my teeth, got a shower, had something to drink, and ate food. I am feeling sooo much better. Also hard to believe it's Tuesday. 🤣 Probably because I missed work yesterday. Anyway, looking forward to having multiple teas today I guess since I couldn't make tea without water. 😊 I hope everyone has a fantastic day! ❤️
07:17 am
Glad to hear things are back to normal for you! Enjoy your teas.
07:26 am
Thank you so much! So far, Pu-erh Poe was yum! And I ran out of milk thistle. 🤣 Guess I need to get some more of that. Brewing Green Rooibos now. 😊

Good morning. I'm having this tea later today, this morning I'm having Dragon's Breath. MMMMM
07:25 am
Good morning, everyone. I love green rooibos tea and I think I've had it plain before but since there's no review it must have been in a mystery tea box. I will drink it later in the day, like many others I see. For caffeine this morning I am finishing a cup of New York City Breakfast now and then I will make: [drumroll for my own "Wheel of Fortune, Jan] Yunnan Jig!
07:45 am
Love the drumroll.
09:52 am
I love your scrapbook cover Bambi!

Good morning. I'm starting the day with mango mate/mango black tea. Have a great day everyone.
07:59 am
Hubby feels like he was hit by a bus with Covid and my son is home again today still hacking. I feel run down but my guess is that is because my body is fighting off these illnesses all day. No other symptoms yet though.
08:46 am
Hope you and everyone feels better rapidly!!!
09:11 am
Yuck. Praying for a quick recovery.
09:51 am
Sending love & healing energy.

Good morning! Busy day for me today. I help in childcare at a church this morning with two year olds who are very busy. Afternoon at the Dentist and then this evening my first pickle ball lesson. I think I’ll wait to have today’s tea this evening as it is caffeine free. Anyone here playing pickle ball?
10:04 am
We had a work function trying it. Was a lot of fun - similar to tennis. Good luck.
10:05 am
Today's picture takes some explaining. I took a friend to the thrift store yesterday to get a cake pan, and I found a pan of my own: a big ol' cast iron for $4! Very excited to start using it.
10:13 am
Good morning! I'm finishing up my cup of green rooibos. I found it pleasant to drink with a little stevia added. I started the day with chocolate truffle because I needed some caffeine :)

10:36 am
Good morning! The green rooibos was smooth not astringent or bitter. For someone not a gt fan, I enjoyed finishing it with honey and cream. Playing catch-up, did anyone combine day 1 & 2 the chocolate and cupid and did it make the perfect cup of chocolate covered cherries? 😊
10:51 am
Today's tea is not bad! But I need to switch to a black tea for some caffeine. Steeping some Yunnan Gold - my favorite!
10:54 am
Good morning!
10:58 am
Not my thing really, but better than red roobios
11:00 am
Goood Morning, all! Happy Tuesday all! I'm not a huge rooibos fan, but green rooibos is much better than red. I prefer the softer notes like oat/wheat vs woody/medicinal that the red rooibos has. Not a bad sip today.
11:04 am
One of the things I'm thankful to CommuniTEA for is helping me learn the difference between green YUM rooibos and red NOT YUM rooibos. I prefer the Green Rooibos teas with extra flavoring like Bonita and Blueberry, but even this plain green is far better than any mix with red.
