South African Rooibos

You might’ve heard about black, green, or even white tea. But have you ever heard about the Rooibos tea? Often called the “red tea”, this visually pleasing herbal drink comes from the Rooibos plant scientifically known as the Aspalathus linearis native to South Africa. Botanically, its legume part is used in making this attractive nutritional concoction. The history of Rooibos is very unusual. Around 300 years ago, a bushman found Rooibos and used it to treat a variety of ailments. In 1772, scientist Carl Humberg rediscovered these leaves and made them more popular.  Again, a century later, a Russian guy marketed red Rooibos tea into a herbal drink called the “mountain tea”.
