"Bush Tea' or "Red Tea' is a green shrub native to South Africa grown only in a small area in the Cederberg region of the Western Cape Province.

Rooibos has a rich red color, with a naturally sweet and slightly nutty flavor, and offers many health benefits such its high antioxidant content. This South African tea is widely consumed in the same manner as black teas, with milk, sugar or lemon according to personal preference.

Story, Folklore, History...

History of Rooibos:A virtually unknown herb until the mid 19th century, Rooibos was brewed for centuries as an herbal remedy by the Khoisans South African Bushmen. Knowledge of the properties of this herb almost vanished as environmental changes caused the Khoisan population to dwindle, although its use was reported by a botanist in the late 18th century, and eventually began to be traded at Mountain Tea in the early 20th century.

Awesome flavour with a slight sweetness. I can add my own spices if I want, depending on my mood, and can enjoy before bed!

Excellent tea, especially for those looking for a good caffeine free classic to keep around the house. Tastes great with a little milk, but this tea holds its own even when going solo.

My family loves Rooibos; so it never lasts long. Therefore, I recently ordered the 500 g pouch

Rooibos is my kind of tea when I want tea with milk and honey but don’t want the caffein. Rooibos tea is said to have all sorts of healing qualities.

Love Rooibos tea.  Very nice if you mix it with something like Lemongrass.
