Long before it reached teacups around the world, Red Rooibos was brewed by Indigenous communities of South Africa as a daily ritual for nourishment, rest, and healing. Known locally as “Rooibostee” and often called “Red Bush Tea,” this treasured herbal infusion grows nowhere else on earth, only in the rugged Cederberg region of South Africa, where harsh sun, sandy soil, and cool mountain air shape its naturally sweet character.
At Asami Naturals, Red Rooibos represents everything we stand for: origin integrity, cultural respect, and wellness rooted in tradition. This tea is not flavored or enhanced, its gentle sweetness and warm, earthy depth come purely from the land and the people who have stewarded it for generations.
After harvest, the needle-like leaves are bruised and oxidized, transforming from green to a deep red-brown and developing their signature amber infusion. The result is a smooth, comforting cup with notes of honey, vanilla, and soft wood, never bitter, never sharp.
