Children love it!
Rooibos is sold in almost every health food store in the United Kingdom.
World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) awarded a gold medal to Rooibos in 1997 for its anti-allergic properties.
Annekie Theron, attributed with the first medical breakthrough with Rooibos, received the Woman Inventor of the Year award, and developed a Rooibos extract that is used in cosmetic and health care products worldwide.
The top ten importers of Rooibos are (in order of largest first): Germany, Japan, Netherlands, UK, Malaysia, South Korea, Poland, U.S., Colombia, and China.
In 1984, an outbreak of salmonella caused the Rooibos industry to freeze, but it quickly resumed at a remarkable speed.
The only beverage that is more widely consumed throughout the world than tea is water.
