Most teas—even Fair Trade—come from plantations where workers have little say, and are often trapped in a system of dependency. Together, we are building a different tea model, one that gives small farmers greater access to the market, affording them more economic power, better lives and healthier communities.
This herbal tea comes from the Wupperthal Original Rooibos Co-operative, a democratically organized group of small-scale farmers who have grown Rooibos in South Africa for generations. These farmers were pushed off the most fertile land in the 1800's and later endured segregation imposed by apartheid. Their dry land is a challenge for most crops. But with Rooibos, the slower growth results in quality that can't be found anywhere else.
This red bush tea from South Africa is naturally caffeine free with earthly, vanilla and citrus flavor notes. Delicious with milk, straight up or over ice. Go ahead and enjoy another cup.
