Rooibos

The source of “Red Tea or RedBush Tea” comes to us from the southwest tip of South Africa, mainly from the Cederberg wilderness area. This shrub can grow to be 6 feet tall and has thin needle-like leaves, reddish branches, and yellow flowers at the tips in the early spring. The natives from this part of Africa have enjoyed a brew of the twigs and leaves for centuries. It continues to be an important herb of commerce in the Western Cape region. It is in the legume (Fabaceae) family.
