Country of Origin: South Africa Region: Cedarberg Shipping Port: Cape Town
Grade: Grade #1 Altitude: 1500-2500 feet above sea level
Manufacture Type: Fermentation turns the leaves from green to deep red and gives a
sweet note.
Cup Characteristics: Velvety chocolate smoothness with decadent notes of truffle melting
in your mouth. Excellent combination of cacao, mint and rooibos.
Infusion: Reddish orange to full color (depends on brewing time and quantity used)
Ingredients: Rooibos, Calendula Petals, Cacao bean pieces, Natural Flavors
Information:The story of Rooibos starts around the turn of the century in South Africa’s
beautiful Cedarberg region. It was the locals of the area who first discovered that the fine
needle like leaves of the wild “Aspalathus Linearis” plant made a tasty aromatic tea. It
was they who first harvested the plants, chopped them with axes and bruised them with
hammers leaving them to ferment before drying in the sun. Rooibos is an herb that
contains no caffeine. Those that consume Rooibos have claimed that it has a soothing
effect on headaches, disturbed sleeping patterns and digestive problems.
Rooibos seeds are planted during February and March. They are tended for 18 months
after which they are harvested. Cut Rooibos is bound and milled to a uniform length then
bruised between rollers to trigger the fermentation process, which results in the
characteristic flavor and sweet aroma.
We then added chocolate pieces to enhance the already wonderful chocolate taste
profiles. A Chocolate lovers delight! Natural coco-mint flavoring and calendula petals
create a unique synergy with the fragrant chocolate pieces.
Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1
teaspoon of Rooibos for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the pot,
cover and let steep for 2-4 minutes. Pour into your cup; add milk and sugar to taste.
Iced tea brewing method: (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 5 teaspoons of Rooibos into a
teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the Rooibos.
Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the Rooibos into
the serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up with cold water. Garnish and
sweeten to taste.
