• The world’s only museum in honour of Rooibos is in Malaysia, just outside Kuala Lumpur. The “Dr Nortier Rooibos Museum” opened in June 2000. It is named after Dr Le Fras Nortier, a South African medical doctor who promoted the agricultural potential of Rooibos to the world. The museum showcases the history, production and uses of Rooibos, as well as some of the cultural history of South Africa, especially of the Cape Malays.
• In Japan, Rooibos is called “Long Life Tea” and considered an anti-ageing beverage. Many Japanese women also believe that Rooibos tea offer special benefits during pregnancy.

“Rooibos is the yoga of tea- drinking. It's smooth, gentle and caffeine-free, ideal for people who are sleep-deprived."

“The wonderful flavor and startling versatility make Rooibos worth the praise it has received, a mainstay for the converted and a must-try for the not-yet enlightened.”
