Rooibos, also known as red bush, is a type of herbal tea that is native to South Africa. It's made from the leaves of the Aspalathus linearis plant, which grows only in the Cederberg region of the Western Cape province of South Africa. South African rooibos tea is known for its unique flavor and red color, which is produced during the oxidation process of the leaves. One of the main benefits of South African rooibos tea is its high level of antioxidants, which can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Rooibos also contains compounds that may have anti-inflammatory and antimutagenic properties. South African rooibos tea does not contain caffeine and is low in tannin making it a good alternative for people who are sensitive to these substances. The consumption of South African rooibos tea has been increasing globally, with many countries now importing the tea from South Africa. While it may not be as well-known as other types of tea, like green tea or black tea, Rooibos is still a beloved drink in South Africa and abroad.
