Historical Information on the Origin of Rooibos

Rooibos, or “red bush,” is a unique plant that grows exclusively in the Cederberg Mountains region of the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Its history dates back to ancient times, where local Khoisan tribes had been using the leaves of this shrub for centuries to prepare a medicinal and invigorating drink.

Interesting fact: The first mentions of commercial rooibos harvesting date back to the early 20th century, when Russian emigrant Benjamin Ginsberg began actively promoting it on the world market, noticing its popularity among locals and appreciating its unique properties.
