Rooibos Tea: The Herbal Infusion That's Taking Over the World. Rooibos tea is a popular beverage originating from South Africa and is made from the Aspalathus linearis shrub. Unlike traditional tea, which comes from the camellia sinensis plant, rooibos tea is a herbal infusion that is dried and fermented to create a nutritious and flavourful drink. Rooibos tea, which is known for its distinctive red-brown colour, is now enjoyed in over 60 countries worldwide.

The origins of rooibos tea can be traced back to the early 1700s when Dutch settlers in Cape Town discovered the drink as an alternative to the expensive black tea from Europe. A botanist named Carl Thuinberg studied the rooibos plant in 1772 and after this, a Russian immigrant named Benjamin Ginsberg started marketing the tea as an export product. It wasn't until the 20th century that the health benefits of rooibos tea were recognized, with DR Le Fras Nortier starting to research its unique nutritional and medicinal qualities. The proper commercial production of rooibos tea only started in the 1930s.

Rooibos tea rose to popularity in 1968 when a South African mother claimed that it was effective in soothing her baby's colic. In the 1980s, rooibos tea gained popularity in Japan due to claims of its anti-aging properties. Recently, a 'rooibos tea espresso' has gained popularity within cafes and retail outlets around the world.

Rooibos tea is packed full of antioxidants such as aspalathin and quercetin, giving it cancer-fighting benefits as well as promoting heart and bone health. The tea is also high in vitamins and minerals such as calcium, manganese, magnesium, and iron, making it a great drink for relaxation. Rooibos tea contains no caffeine, making it an ideal night-time tea alternative.

Tea Lovers Australia offers a wide range of natural rooibos and honeybush loose-leaf teas, including high-grade organic rooibos tea, as well as many delicious flavoured rooibos tea varieties. Some of the popular flavoured rooibos tea options include Rooibos Blueberry Cheesecake, Rooibos Strawberries & Cream, Rooibos Chocolate & Truffle, Rooibos Orange Spiced Chai, Rooibos Dragonfruit & Ginger, and Rooibos Cream (caramel & vanilla).

In conclusion, rooibos tea is a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional tea and is gaining popularity around the world. Its health benefits and flavour options make it an excellent choice for tea lovers everywhere.
