Foraged From The South African Wild

Nestled in the pristine wilderness of the Cederberg mountains, this South African rooibos farm is only partially cultivated, with the remaining land left wild and foraged for rooibos. The unique geography and geology of the area, alongside a historic farming culture, contribute to growing some of the world’s finest rooibos. This tea is distinguished by its deep, earthy vanilla flavor, enhanced by the pure mountain water that irrigates the crops, offering a taste that is both exquisite and unmistakably rich.
