Organic Rooibostea, or as it is known in Europe “Redbush” or “African Red Tea” is exclusively found in South Africa. It grows in the environmentally pristine Cape Floral Kingdom - one of only six remaining floral kingdoms in the world.

Rooibos was traditionally enjoyed by the indigenous inhabitants in the Western Cape, who harvested the leaves and stems of the local Aspalathus linearis plant, which produced an aromatic herbal tea.

Medical science is only just beginning to discover the many health advantages of rooibos tea and on-going research confirms its multiple uses and benefits. Today, the fame of Rooibos has spread far beyond the borders of South Africa and is firmly established in the international market. The best thing however about Rooibostea is its wonderful, naturally slightly sweet taste.
