South African Red Bush Tradition
Rooibos carries the rich heritage of South Africa, where indigenous Khoisan people first discovered the remarkable qualities of this red bush centuries before commercial cultivation began.
These early inhabitants harvested wild rooibos in the rugged Cederberg mountains, brewing the fermented leaves as a soothing, healing drink valued for its calming effects and respiratory comfort.
The name "rooibos" comes from Afrikaans, literally meaning "red bush" a reference to the plant's distinctive reddish stems and the deep amber-red color of the brewed infusion.
Though often called "red tea," rooibos is not related to *Camellia sinensis* (traditional tea plants), making it a unique botanical treasure exclusive to South Africa's Western Cape region.
Today, rooibos represents sustainable agriculture and community-driven harvesting practices in the Cederberg area, where small-scale farmers maintain traditional methods while protecting the delicate mountain ecosystem.
This infusion has become a symbol of natural wellness and South African cultural pride, celebrated globally while remaining deeply connected to its exclusive terroir and the communities who have nurtured it for generations.
