Origins of Rooibos: The Heart of South Africa

Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) is a unique plant that grows exclusively in the Cederberg Mountains region of the Western Cape Province of South Africa. For centuries, local inhabitants, especially the Khoisan people, have collected and used the leaves of this shrub to prepare a medicinal and refreshing drink.

Interesting historical fact: The first written mentions of rooibos and its use date back to the 17th century, when the Dutch botanist Carl Peter Thunberg documented the practice of its brewing by local tribes, noting its pleasant taste and beneficial properties.
