What is the difference between rooibos and redbush tea?
Rooibos and redbush tea are terms used interchangeably to refer to the same herbal beverage derived from the leaves of the Aspalathus linearis plant, primarily grown in South Africa. The main distinction lies in the origin of the names themselves; "rooibos" is the Afrikaans word for "red bush," which describes the characteristic red hue of the plant's leaves when oxidized and processed. In contrast, "redbush tea" is a more generic term used outside of South Africa to refer to this herbal infusion. Both terms ultimately denote the same caffeine-free, antioxidant-rich beverage known for its mild, slightly sweet flavour profile and numerous health benefits, making it a popular choice among tea enthusiasts worldwide.
