South Africa

South Africa is the home of rooibos, a red bush that grows only in a small region of the Western and Northern Cape centered on the Cederberg mountains. Indigenous Khoi and San communities used the plant long before Benjamin Ginsberg began trading it in 1904. Honeybush, its sweeter cousin, grows wild in the fynbos of the Western and Eastern Cape.
