I really like this! It's astonishingly different from the other green Rooibos I've tried, from Upton. This one has a bit of red leaf/stem mixed in and brews a bright orange color.
I recommend a very long steeping time; after 3 minutes the aroma hasn't fully developed. The aroma is fresh, light, and clean, with a bit of a pleasant seafood-like quality to it, also somewhat like grass or straw. Fruity, but in a subdued way. Less earthy than red rooibos, and with less sourness. An outstanding herbal tea!
