Rooibos tea has come a long way from its humble beginnings, when it was first used for herbal remedies by the Khoisan tribes of the Cederberg Region in South Africa. For hundreds of years, this delicious beverage remained a tribal secret until Europeans began to colonise the continent. By the 18th Century, a botanist by the name of Carl Humberg had brought about a more widespread interest in the drink and soon Rooibos was being shipped across the world!

During the Second World War, Rooibos tea was heavily relied upon as importing tea from the Asian continent became increasingly difficult due to the Japanese occupation. Soon, the demand was far surpassing the availability but it would not be until the 1960’s that Rooibos tea’s history took an incredible turn. In 1968, a South African mother by the name of Annique Theron, published a book on Rooibos tea’s amazing health benefits. After the book’s release, scientific studies were frequently conducted to discover this wonder-blend’s true potential. In fact, even today, research is still ongoing as new advantages to consuming Rooibos tea are unearthed on a yearly basis!
