Rooibos Tea
Size: 8 oz Bag
(Latin Name: Aspalathus linearis)
(Also known as: Red Bush Tea, The Earth’s Elixir, Spirit Calmer)
Brief History & Origin
Rooibos Tea is the Herb of Calm Vitality and Earth Connection, harvested from the red bush plant native to the mountains of South Africa. For centuries, the Khoisan people—one of the region’s oldest cultures—used Rooibos for healing, hydration, and heart-strengthening ceremonies. In modern times, it is cherished worldwide as a caffeine-free, mineral-rich tea that nourishes both body and spirit.
Rooibos carries the energy of grounding and peace, helping to calm the nerves, soften the heart, and restore balance after stress. Its warm, earthy flavor symbolizes rootedness and gentle restoration, making it a perfect companion for evening rituals, meditation, or soul-soothing moments.
