Under EU PDO standards, the raw material for Rooibos/Red Bush consists of 100% freshly harvested leaves and stems of Aspalathus linearis , and the final forms are classified into oxidized dried leaves and stems and green (unoxidized) dried leaves and stems. The moisture content is specified to be less than 10% for the oxidized form and less than 5% for the green product. ( EUR-Lex )

Kew treats Psoralea linearis Burm.f. and Lebeckia linearis (Burm.f.) DC., among others, as synonyms of Aspalathus linearis. Therefore, when these names appear in historical literature or supply documents, they are linked via the Legacy/Synonym field without creating a separate Plant Entity. ( Plants of the World Online )

Product Master

Rooibos production data from the South African Department of Agriculture describes Aspalathus linearis as a shrubby legume endemic to the mountainous regions of the Western Cape. Kew is also classified as a subtropical shrub/subshrub native to the Cape Provinces. ( National Defence Agency )

EU PDO standards stipulate that the commercial production, wild harvesting, harvesting, and tea court processing and drying of Rooibos must be carried out within designated areas. ( EUR-Lex )

The EU PDO standard specifies a moisture content of less than 10% for oxidized rooibos and less than 5% for green rooibos , and requires expert evaluators to assess the color of dry and infused leaves, as well as the color, intensity, transparency, aroma, and taste of the extract. ( EUR-Lex )

The core of the international supply chain for rooibos is a structure comprising cultivation/wild-harvesting in South Africa → origin tea court → oxidation/non-oxidation/drying → bulk grading → export → importer → tea bag/blending/extraction/RTD manufacturing → buyer  . PDO protection links the raw material origins and key production and processing stages within this structure to specific geographical regions. ( EUR-Lex )

Trade Dataset

The PDO documentation  describes the structure of traditional oxidative processing as cutting → humidification/bruising → heap/row curing/oxidation → sun drying , and classifies green products as a method of drying immediately after cutting. ( EUR-Lex )

Its use as an ingredient in food, health functional foods, pharmaceuticals, or cosmetics is converted into a separate product only when the recognition of raw materials, labeling, safety, and functionality in the relevant country is confirmed. The South African Department for Science, Technology and Innovation introduces functional research related to Rooibos, but does not directly express this as the medical efficacy of the product.
