This herbal tea is grown by farmers at the Wupperthal Original Rooibos Co-operative, a democratically-organized group of small-scale farmers who have cultivated rooibos in South Africa for generations. These farmers were pushed off the most fertile land in the 1800s and later endured segregation imposed by apartheid. Their dry land is a challenge for most crops. But with rooibos, the slower growth results in quality that can’t be found anywhere else.
