Rooibos (pronounced roy-BOSS) is a rich, red tea that comes from a wild plant (Aspalathus linearis) only found and grown in Western South Africa. It is naturally caffeine-free and contains antioxidants, which are known to promote good health.
Traditionally, Rooibos was harvested and used by the Khoi San tribe. During the 1900s, many settlers saw the potential for markets for the product and Rooibos was commercialized. Today, the Wupperthal Cooperative is one of the few remaining groups of black small farmers that are trying to keep the authentic tradition alive.
