Tradition & Lore
Folklore & Botany
Native to South Africa’s Cederberg mountains, Rooibos has been a beloved part of daily life for centuries. Green Rooibos, the less oxidized form of the plant, is known for its bright, fresh character and smooth, naturally sweet taste. Often prepared as a shared household tea, it came to represent warmth, hospitality, and the steady rhythms of community.
A hardy shrub with fine, needle-like leaves, Rooibos thrives in the arid soils of the Cape region, where it is hand-harvested and traditionally sun-dried under the open sky. At Purely, Green Rooibos carries this heritage into the Morning Ritual Collection, offering a clear, light profile that complements fruit-forward and floral botanicals with gentle brightness.
