Sutherlandia frutescens is not mentioned. The original text appears to be a botanical name for a plant species. If you'd like me to rephrase it, I can suggest: Aspalathus linearis (a type of plant)This shrub grows upright to spreading, typically reaching 2 meters tall in its natural habitat. Cultivated plants can range from 0.5 to 1.5 meters high, depending on factors such as age and local climate and soil conditions. Young stems often have a reddish tint. The stem divides into strong offshoots near the ground, with smaller side branches bearing soft, needle-like leaves. These leaves are green, 15-60 mm long, up to 1 mm thick, and stalkless. They can be densely clustered together. In spring or early summer, yellow flowers appear either singly or in dense clusters at the tips of branches. The fruit is a small lance-shaped pod containing one or two hard seeds.

Rooibos leaves are harvested in summer, then cut or chopped and left to ferment. This process oxidizes certain chemicals with enzymes, producing the distinctive red color and flavor associated with rooibos. Alternatively, unfermented rooibos tea is available and contains more antioxidants; it has a yellow hue rather than the characteristic red of fermented rooibos.

Rooibos is exclusively grown in the Cederberg region and surrounding areas, including Clanwilliam and Citrusdal villages, located north of Cape Town in South Africa. Despite attempts to cultivate it elsewhere or in similar climates, rooibos has proven to be highly specific in its requirements for growth. In South Africa, rooibos tea is a well-established favorite. To brew the popular tea, dried rooibos leaves are boiled in water and often enjoyed with milk. Its appeal lies in being caffeine-free and low in tannins. As the national drink of South Africa, rooibos tea comes in various forms, including red, black, red-brown, and grey varieties, one of which is the familiar type known as rooibos tea.

How to use:

Hot Infusion:
