June Birth Tea
Birth Tea
Rooibos Tea
Rooibos tea is made from the miraculous red leaves of Aspalathus linearis, a plant that grows exclusively in South Africa's Cederberg Mountains. Thriving in harsh conditions with temperature differences exceeding 30°C between day and night, rooibos develops roots reaching 10 meters deep, drawing minerals from the earth's depths. The indigenous Khoisan people have cherished this 'red bush' as an 'elixir of immortality' for over 6000 years. In the early 20th century, Russian immigrant Benjamin Ginsberg noticed the youthfulness of tribes drinking rooibos and successfully commercialized it. Now beloved worldwide as a health tea, its vibrant reddish-brown color embodies the strength of African earth and solar energy, bringing the vitality cultivated in arid lands to Japan's humid rainy season. Being caffeine-free, it can be enjoyed safely throughout the day and lifetime, truly embodying the gentle and embracing nature of those born in June.
