Green rooibos in particular is even more nutritious than the fermented type, with about four times the total polyphenols of the fermented type. Among these, aspalathin is a flavonoid unique to rooibos, and is about 81 times more abundant than the fermented type. Various research is being conducted on it as it is the most effective antioxidant contained in rooibos. Green Rooibos Cultivation Carefully selected, high-quality ingredients from Rooibos Limited, the world's top manufacturer, are vacuum-packed and shipped to Japan in a fresh state. Only products that meet strict standards on a production line dedicated to the Japanese market are shipped. Microorganism and residual pesticide tests are also conducted for each badge. We use fresh tea leaves that are grown according to strict standards and are pesticide-free and without chemical fertilizers. In addition, the tea leaves are sterilized only once in South Africa. Some manufacturers sterilize them again in Japan, but repeated sterilization may cause the flavor to deteriorate. Safe Quality with Sterilization Processing Since 2020, Rooibos Limited has revamped its production line and now manages tea leaves under even stricter quality standards. By introducing a Japanese-made sterilization machine, the tea leaves undergo high-pressure sterilization without compromising quality. Enjoy delicious and safe cold brews without using boiling water. Nutritionist’s Recommendation #3: Caffeine-Free for Everyone Even those who dislike the unique flavor of rooibos tea may find this tea easy to drink. Since it is caffeine-free, it is recommended for children and pregnant women. Adding fermented rooibos tea or barley tea as part of your tea selection can make your daily life richer and more enjoyable. Additionally, because the tea leaves are brewed as they are, only carefully selected, pesticide-free, and chemical fertilizer-free fresh leaves are used—another great feature.
