 NECTAR OF NATURE

Rooibos is grown exclusively in Cedarberg of South Africa Preview.


 

       Rooibos Tea's tremendous worldwide success today is due mainly to the vision, tireless perseverance and dedication of Dr. Pieter Le Fras Nortier. His mission to benefit mankind worldwide through Rooibos inspired local farmers to begin large-scale cultivation, heralding a new era for the industry. Thanks to him, Rooibos now flourishes globally. His accomplishments during his lifetime are most impressive:-

  1930: Discovered the value of Rooibos as an agricultural product.
     
 

 

1948: Received an honorary doctorate, Dr. S. Agria, from Stellenbosch University.
     
 

 

 

1955: Passed away on April, and laid on rest on his farm in Westside. Given a posthumous honorary doctorate of D. Sc. M.D from Cape Town University.

 

 

 

 

Born April 13, 1884, this famed doctor and nature lover studied Medical Science in Stellenbosch University, winning the Rhodes Scholarship which took him to Oxford University in 1905.

   
1908: Went to Liverpool University.
   
1911: Received MBChB Degree.
   
1914: Served as Captain in the SA Medical Corps.

"I am proud that my father's efforts in making Dr. Nortier's Rooibos Tea known to the world has brought great satisfaction to the health conscious and tea connoisseurs all around the world. It is also heartening to known that a Museum has been built on his name and his vision, in Malaysia, the first and only on of kind in the world!"

 

Ms. Neste Mouton

   

In recognition of his outstanding contributions, on September 28, 1947, the Sunday Tribune paid him glowing tribute with the words, "SA Doctor discovers Nature's most exclusive secret. The laird of Clan William who allied botany with medicine found a life, work and happiness in the study of both."
