The Homeland of Rooibos: The Heart of South Africa

Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) is a unique plant that grows exclusively in the picturesque Cederberg region of the Western Cape province of South Africa. Its history is closely linked to the indigenous Khoisan people, who for centuries collected and used the leaves of this shrub to prepare a medicinal drink.

Interesting Fact: The first European settlers discovered rooibos in the 17th century, but it was only in the early 20th century that Russian immigrant Benjamin Ginsberg began its commercial production, transforming a local beverage into a globally renowned tea.
