To South Africans Rooibos tea is a way of life. We grow up with it in our baby bottles and go on to enjoy it throughout childhood into adulthood and old age, reaping the health benefits of this aromatic beverage that has been passed down from generation to generation. It is our mission to introduce this great-tasting, healthful African Rooibos tea and green rooibos tea to a global audience.

A natural herb indigenous to the South African Cedarberg Mountains, rooibos (Aspalathis linearis) is organically grown, harvested and sun dried as part of the curing process to ensure that the herbal tea blend that results retains all of its natural goodness. Fresh spring water, clear mountain air and the harsh African sun combine to produce a verdant green plant that, after infusion, turns the deep red colour that is associated with a good cup of rooibos herbal tea. The tea that results from this natural growing and curing process is rich in a great many trace minerals and antioxidants, making for a unique beverage that is as healthy as it is delicious.

The health benefits of rooibos tea were first documented by botanists during the 18th century. Subsequent research and scientific testing has led to the discovery of the startling array of health promoting applications we see in its present day use, finally validating the claims of generations of South Africans who have used it as a health beverage and home remedy to treat everything from sleeplessness to stomach discomfort, as well as certain skin problems.

Green and Red Rooibos teas represent a great tasting caffeine-free alternative to conventional caffeinated teas and other caffeinated beverages that are consumed around the world. While you may initially miss that first jolt of caffeine in the morning, swapping your cup of Joe for a steaming mug of Rooibos tea has so many incredible health benefits it doesn't make sense not to enjoy this antioxidant-rich pick-me-up beverage. In summertime, Rooibos tea can be steeped and chilled for a refreshing iced tea that can be enjoyed with mint, ginger and lemon. You can even add a Rooibos tea bag to your bath to sooth sensitive or burned skin! The benefits, whether sipped or applied topically, are virtually endless.

But don't take our word for it - try it for yourself. You'll soon realize why Rooibos tea is recognized as a holistic health wonder the world over.
