Organic rooibos is a herb that is native to South Africa. This plant is dried after harvesting and then brewed into a delicious herbal infusion. It is known as red bush tea or African red tea. Rooibos, directly translated, means Red Bush. The Dutch Settlers in South Africa made rooibos popular in the 1700s, as they drank it as an alternative to black tea which was very expensive at that time.

It became a commercial tea crop in the 1930s. This is a very unique tea that is indigenous to the Cederberg mountain range, north of Cape Town in South Africa. It still thrives today where locals harvest and brew the organic rooibos. Many farmers in the area harvest wild-growing rooibos, while some commercially grown herbs have been moved to other areas within the country.

As of today, South Africa is the only country in the world that produces organic rooibos tea with more than four hundred and fifty growers producing around fifteen tons of the tea each year. The plant itself is part of the legume family that flourishes in the mountainous regions. They do best in dry areas with periods of heavy range. It produces long needle-like leaves and blooms in early spring, producing yellow flowers.

Organic rooibos are filled with natural antioxidants that boost heart health. Studies show that drinking this tea daily can improve cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The tea is now available in the United Kingdom, thanks to the Ministry of Tea. The company has a passion for bringing global teas to UK customers, including organic rooibos.
