Origin

Rooibos is grown exclusively in the Cederberg region of South Africa, where the dry climate, sandy soils, and high altitude create ideal conditions for producing its naturally sweet, smooth character.

The leaves of the Aspalathus linearis plant are harvested and oxidised to develop their deep red colour and mellow flavour, with low tannin levels that make rooibos easy to drink and never bitter.

Brewing Guide

Brew the perfect cup:

• Tea Quantity: 1 heaped tsp (2.5–3g) per 200ml water
• Water Temperature: 100°C (just boiled)
• Steeping Time: 5–7 minutes
