The European Union has added a South African tea to its register of products with a protected designation of origin. Ish Mafundikwa prepared this report for NPR s Newscast unit.
Rooibos ( red bush in Afrikaans) joins France s Champagne, Greece s feta cheese and Colombian coffee on the list. The tea is said to have numerous health benefits.
The rooibos-producing community in South Africa is justifiably excited about the certification. It protects the product against would-be producers outside of the rooibos region in South Africa, said Dawie de Villiers, legal director of the South African Rooibos Council.
