Clanwilliam Rooibos is a tasty, aromatic, herbal tea that's completely caffeine-free and is named after the area in South Africa where it is believed the original commercial cultivation of Rooibos took place. Rooibos leaves are fine, needle-like and produce a very characteristic flavour and sweet aroma that can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a blend. Delicious with or without milk and sugar.

Good quality rooibos

Posted by Sally P. on Feb 22, 2025

Purchased for the first time and was very impressed with the freshness and quality of the rooibos. Love the vacuum sealed pouches and the fact we can return the empty packs for recycling.

Fermentation: The harvested plant material is chopped and bruised to release enzymes, then left to ferment in heaps for up to 24 hours.
Drying: The fermented leaves are spread out and dried under the sun, which turns them into a rich, reddish-brown colour.
