Cederberg Wild Harvest Organic Rooibos
R70,00
Something extra-ordinary!! A rare expression of one of South Africa’s most treasured indigenous herbs. This certified-organic wild harvest Rooibos is sustainably hand-harvested in limited quantities from plants growing naturally in the rugged Cederberg mountains.
Harvesting takes place on foot and follows a three-year rotation intended to minimize environmental impact and protect the naturally occurring Rooibos population.
Smooth and naturally caffeine-free, it produces a rich copper-red infusion with gentle honeyed, earthy notes and of course the untamed character of its wild origin.
