If you like to know more – some facts for connoisseurs:
Aspalathus linearis, commonly known as redbush, is an endemic plant that grows only in the sun-drenched, sandy soils of the Cederberg Mountains.
Redbush is made from the leaves, stems, and flowers of plants from the Cyclopia genus. These plants thrive in the dry, rocky, and mountainous regions of South Africa’s Western and Eastern Cape provinces. The indigenous Bushmen and Hottentots have gathered this magical herb for centuries, using it to treat many ailments.
Redbush is closely related to rooibos — another popular South African tea — but it has a lighter color and a gentler taste.
It was traditionally drunk by the Khoisan people, who believed it to be a healing elixir. In the 17th century, Dutch settlers began drinking redbush as an affordable alternative to expensive imported teas from Asia. By the 19th century, it had gained popularity among British colonists, who enjoyed it with milk and sugar. In the 20th century, Redbush won global recognition as a high-quality tea with a unique flavor and remarkable health benefits.

The Tale of the Red Gift of the Mountains
In the heart of the Cederberg Mountains, where the sun caresses rocky slopes and the wind whispers ancient legends, lived the Khoisan people. For generations, they guarded the secret of the Red Bush — a plant with glossy leaves and blossoms the color of the setting sun. According to legend, the Red Bush was a divine gift bestowed upon humankind in times of drought and hunger. From its leaves, they brewed a tea with wondrous properties — quenching thirst, restoring strength, and bringing peace.
A young woman named Amani, blessed with the gift of healing, learned the secrets of the Red Bush from her grandmother. She mastered the art of recognizing its varieties, gathering the leaves at the perfect time of year, and preparing a tea that could heal sickness and ward off evil spirits. Amani became the guardian of the Red Bush and its restorative power.
News of the miraculous tea from the Cederberg Mountains spread across Africa. Merchants and travelers came to the Khoisan people to taste the magical drink and benefit from its healing powers. The fame of the Red Tea soon reached Europe, captivating botanists and herbalists alike.
In the 19th century, British explorer Sir Richard Burton, during his expedition to Africa, met the Khoisan tribe and discovered the secret of the Red Tea. Enchanted by its taste and properties, he brought the seeds of the Red Bush and the tea recipe back to England. There, under the name Redbush, the tea gained immense popularity, becoming a symbol of health and exotic Africa.
Today, Redbush is known and cherished worldwide. Grown on eco-friendly plantations in the Cederberg Mountains — with respect for the ancient Khoisan traditions — it preserves its precious natural qualities.
Redbush is more than just tea; it’s a story of nature’s power, the wisdom of ancient cultures, and the enduring strength of legend.
