The tea after steeping is a brownish color. Shouldn't it be green?

My tea is brown as well but I steep for a long time. Don't mind it though because it never gets bitter no matter how long you steep it. I use it for iced tea. I don't know if this is true, but I heard that the tea leaves harvested during warmer weather are darker and taste more like red rooibos. Unfortunately, how are you to know what season the leaves are picked.

There are two types of tea: one is green and has a greenish color while the other is the dried green leaves that have been fermented yielding a redih brown color of tea.Steve Warren

Mine isn't green... guess I never gave it much thought ! The taste is pleasant so I assume it is as it should be.

This is green rooibos tea which is a process of a being the unoxidized 'green' rooibos derived from the red rooibos tea which is a reddish/brown when brewed. Hope that helps.

I have had a few different green rooibos teas and they are always a light brown to golden color, the red rooibos bres sarked and with a red tint

it shows as green and I have ordered it but when I receive it, it is always a brown label. at one time I had a variety pack and it was a green label, but now it is always brown. same taste.

I believe the higher tannin causes more staining. I agree, this brand stains more but it makes a great cuppa.

Very good question! It is truly green! Before I I bought it I had to make sure it was green!

green tea water should not come to a rolling boil- stop heating right before kettle whistle starts. Steep for no more than 3 minutes- 2 is really optimum for me.

Hello again - I just called the company and was told that yes, the product is a brownish color. They do have another product that is white as described, Liposomal Glutathione, so perhaps that might have been the original product?Company phone number is 1-888-519-3238 and a real human answered when I called. Website is http://www.nutrienttree.com/nutrient-tree-products/.I hope this helps.

It's not warm brown. It's probably like a darker cherry wood but not as dark as dark cherry wood. They are nice tables, I have two.

No. You are supposed to steep it in boiling water just like you would tea leaves.

My understanding that that green tea is in the low to 0 category. Might be best to seek answer from an Apothecary or specialty tea shop to be absolutely certain.

I don't recall if it was brown, it might have been a bit dark, it was syrupy though. but that is to be expected though because it was concentrated. if its brown, I think id return it to seller.

I brew a large pitcher of iced tea each week, the color is kind of gold with some brown and I think that the flavor is very good. Bigelow tea Company has a good reputation. I hope this helps.

No, it actually comes with the brown label. I think the green may be an older label. It will say DeCaf in the description and label. This is my favorite and only kcup brand of coffee i drink, and I have tried several. Sharon

Every time that i have purchased Tea Green its color was green----thats all i know about it. So i guess it must be correct. Check the label for added color.Also the viscosity is thicker than other shampoos that i have used.

Sorry, but i did not know that it was. Lived in England and now back in the US and unaware that it stains more than other teas.

Sunk to the bottom without any hesitation. To prevent excessive tannins release. Go buy yourself a huge aluminum pot for about 10 bucks at your nearest mexican market (typically used to make tamales or posole) and boil them for a couple of hours. Once I did that, I did not get the brownish/tea water that many experience.

It's more of a gold with a greenish tinge. I've had greenish green teas, too - but none that have tasted as good as Bigelow. I hope this helps.

It's definitely brown. It is sort of aged/antiqued so it is not a solid uniform brown color.
