The country of origin of the Rooibos is South Africa. Natives used Rooibos to make a fruity, sweet tea long before Europeans did. The branches of the shrub were dried in the sun and then cut into small pieces. The tea was first exported to far away countries in the 19th century, and its export has been growing ever since. This resulted in a controlled cultivation of the once wild growing shrub. A high-quality Rooibos tea can be identified by its ruby color and the soft, sweet, characteristic, aromatic taste. The leaf points out rather long needles.
Just like Rooibos, honeybush was discovered in South Africa in the 18th century. The honeybush shrub owes its name to its characteristic appearance. The blossoms are bright yellow and smell like honey, whereas the leaves are somewhat rougher than those of Rooibos. The South Africans also call it "vegetable bush", due to its pod-shaped fruits andknobbly roots. The wild growing plants thrive exclusively on small mountain ranges in the Longkloof District. In the 1990s it was re-discovered and is cultivated today for commercial purposes in 35 different locations. The infusiontastes pleasantly sweet and aromatic.
This plant from organic cultivation is a variation of the most popular Rooibos. The well-known characteristics are all there, although differences both in color and taste can be noticed. The green Rooibos is clearly brighter in color and has a greener leaf than its “big brother”. This derives from the incomplete fermentation process. This original taste sensation offers a fresh, lively taste, with a slightly tangy flavor. The aroma is light and elegant and should be tried.
