Rooibos tea from South Africa - Zederberg

Rooibos tea (redbush, Aspalathus linearis) is an extremely popular herbal tea from the slopes of the Zederberg Mountains in South Africa, where the plant is endemic. Rooibos is cultivated only in the South Western Cape, where it is perfectly adapted to the sandy, acidic soils and local climate. The name "rooibos" comes from the reddish hue of the leaves, which ferment outdoors during the hot, dry weather in January and February.

This rooibos tea is organically grown on the slopes of Cederberg Mountain. The needle-like leaves have been brewed as tea by the indigenous population there for centuries. It is characterized by its brilliant red color and its unique, velvety flavor, captivating with natural sweetness and nutty aromas. 

Rooibos tea is caffeine-free, contains hardly any tannins, and is rich in valuable antioxidants. This makes it particularly popular as a substitute for other teas or coffee.
