Organic Mountain Rooibos Tea 250g, loose

Kromme Valley Farm

Where heat and dryness create quality

Schalk-Willem Laing is the fifth generation to run the Kromme Valley Farm. This rooibos farm is located in the eastern, hilly Sandveld region, famous for its premium rooibos teas. The Rooibos Farm covers an area of 2600 hectares and is located 30 kilometers north of Clanwilliam. Schalk-Willem cultivates rooibos on 700 hectares and harvests around 170 tons of this aromatic plant every year.

Schalk-Willem is completely committed to organic farming and consistently avoids fertilizers and pesticides. After six years of harvest, the rooibos bushes are plowed under in the seventh year and the ground is left fallow for three years. While the stream is lying, the soil can naturally recover and replenish its nutrients. Planting catch crops is deliberately avoided.

This consistent commitment to organic farming and the influences of the hot, dry easterly winds often result in seed failure and rooibos bushes remaining at their natural growth rate, resulting in lower crop yields. Nevertheless, with this cultivation philosophy, Schalk-Willem Laing has created one of the highest quality rooibos teas on the market under his rooibos tea brand 'Royal Mountain'

Preparation

Put a tea bag in a 250ml cup and pour in freshly boiled water and let the rooibos steep for about 2-4 minutes, depending on your taste.

Serving suggestions

• Enjoy the rooibos drink hot with a little honey and/or milk.
• Refine the taste with cinnamon, fresh ginger slices or a little brandy.
• Serve the rooibos drink cold from the fridge with a little fruit juice and crushed ice as a refreshing iced tea.
