Rooibos comes from a small shrub that grows naturally in the Cederberg Mountains of South Africa.

Though prepared much like tea, it comes from an entirely different plant that grows almost nowhere else in the world.

The home of Rooibos


Rooibos has belonged to this region for generations. The unique climate and soil of the Cederberg Mountains give the plant the conditions it needs to thrive.

So much so that growing it successfully elsewhere has remained a challenge.

For generations, Rooibos has been part of everyday life in this region.
