ROOIBOS organic in tea bag

Delightful Rooibos Tea from South Africa

The rooibos plant, scientifically known as Aspalathus linearis, is native to the Cederberg Mountains near Cape Town, South Africa, where it grows wild. Nowadays, rooibos growers have expanded to other regions in the country to meet the global demand for this unique tea.

Thriving in harsh conditions with acidic soil and extreme temperature fluctuations, the rooibos plant resembles a shrub with its long, thin, needle-like leaves. During early spring, it blooms with yellow flowers, each producing a legume containing a single seed. In the past, wild rooibos collectors relied on ant hills to retrieve the seeds, but today, farmers gather them by sifting the soil around the plant.

Rooibos is harvested and processed in a similar way to the tea plant. The leaves are hand-picked, sorted, cut, and fermented, resulting in the distinctive reddish color. The more oxidized, the redder, sweeter, and richer the flavour.
