A Tale of Two Traditions
This blend represents a fascinating fusion of cultural heritage. Rooibos has been harvested by indigenous peoples in South Africa's Cederberg region for centuries, traditionally used for its medicinal properties. The practice was refined by Dutch settlers who recognized its value as an alternative to expensive black tea. Meanwhile, bergamot's association with Earl Grey tea emerged in 19th century England, though its use in Mediterranean cultures dates back much further. This blend bridges these distinct traditions, creating a unique interpretation of a classic tea.
