Bright, fruity and caffeine free, this Green Rooibos blend combines naturally sweet, subtle green rooibos with delicious fruits such as peaches, berries and citrus, plus natural flavorings.

History & Heritage

Rooibos, meaning "red bush," grows in the Cederberg mountains of South Africa's Western Cape, where the indigenous Khoisan people have long known the plant. In 1904, a merchant named Benjamin Ginsberg began selling it as "Mountain Tea," and in the 1930s Dr. Le Fras Nortier helped develop methods for cultivating it as a crop. Green rooibos is a newer style, made by skipping the traditional fermentation so the leaves keep a lighter, fresher character.

Interesting Facts
