MAGICAL BATH
Product Specifications: Rooibos (pronounced Roy-bos) tea is made from a bushy, low growing plant, Aspalathus linearis. The linearis part of the botanical name describes the straight, needle-like leaves. It is native to the mountains of Cederberg, South Africa, and no other regions worldwide have been able to successfully cultivate it. The common name ‘rooibos’ means ‘red bush’ in Afrikaans, describing the deep red color of the tea. Sweet in flavor with notes of caramel and vanilla, rooibos tea is a popular caffeine-free alternative to black tea. Green rooibos is another variety that is more delicate in flavor and similar to green tea.
In our Formulation, we use Rooibos fine quality Tea from South Africa.

The first people to drink rooibos tea were the Khoisan people, the indigenous tribe from the Cederberg region of South Africa. Over 300 years ago they were harvesting wild rooibos in the mountains to use as medicine for various ailments.
In 1772, a European botanist named Carl Thunberg became intrigued by the wild harvesting of rooibos by the local Khoisan tribe. He observed their mountain expeditions to gather the plants and how they processed it into herbal remedies. Thunberg began drinking rooibos tea and got other Cape-Dutch settlers in South Africa interested in trying it. It became a local favorite, since it was much cheaper than the expensive black tea imported from Asian countries.
Modern rooibos farming begins with the research of Dr Pieter LeFras Nortier, a medical doctor and botanist. After much experimentation, he unlocked the secret to growing rooibos plants from seed. The trick was to ‘scar’ the seeds by grinding them and planting them in acidic, sandy soil. By 1930 he developed a strain of rooibos that could be farmed. This opened up exciting new agricultural prospects for the Cederberg region. He partnered with Olaf Bergh, a local farmer, and soon the mountain slopes of Cederberg were lined with rows of thriving rooibos farms. Over the next decades, the rooibos industry expanded rapidly into the worldwide market.
