The Story
Roasted rooibos, also known as red tea or red bush tea, has an interesting story that is intertwined with the cultural and historical heritage of South Africa. The Khoisan people, indigenous to the area, discovered the herb's unique properties centuries ago. Traditionally, they would harvest and ferment the leaves to make a tea-like infusion. In the 18th century, European settlers and botanists in the region learned about rooibos from the local Khoisan communities. Initially, it gained popularity as a beverage among settlers as an alternative to traditional black tea, which was more expensive and harder to obtain. In the early 20th century, efforts were made to cultivate rooibos on a larger scale. Benjamin Ginsberg, a Russian immigrant, played a crucial role in promoting rooibos cultivation and commercialisation. The process of fermentation and drying was refined, leading to the development of the recognisable red-brown colour and distinctive flavour associated with rooibos.Roasted rooibos involves an additional step in the processing of the leaves. After fermentation, the leaves are roasted, imparting a rich, earthy flavour and deepening the color of the tea. This roasting process contributes to the unique profile of roasted rooibos, distinguishing it from traditional green rooibos or unroasted versions.Rooibos has become a symbol of South African culture and heritage. The industry provides economic opportunities for local communities, and the tea is celebrated globally for its distinctive qualities. Whether enjoyed on its own or blended with various herbs and spices, roasted rooibos continues to be a beloved beverage with a rich history and cultural significance.

Russian caravan ticks the boxes.
Have been buying russian caravan from a major online supplier and recently the quality has been diminishing. Tried tea journeys just to see and was quite impressed much better/stronger flavour than competitor. Packaging is avery nice touch. Price wise a little bit more but hey its flavour i want.

Amazing quality
The quality of the bottle is amazing! Perfect size for carrying it anywhere and I find it keeps the tea warm for a little longer than expected, could it be the cushioning pouch/protector?!
