Rooibos & Green Rooibos
Rooibos grows only in the mountainous Cederberg region and surrounds, where it thrives under the hot African sun – bolstered by crystal clear streams and pure mountain air. It is found nowhere else on earth. This uniquely South African shrub has a pleasantly sweet and mildly earthy taste, with soft fruity and floral undertones and notes of vanilla and honey. Green Rooibos is the unoxidised version of Rooibos and has a pleasantly fresh, bright and grassy taste, with slight caramelisation mellowing its astringent notes. Not only does it make a deliciously refreshing herbal tea, it is also endowed with a host of health benefits.

Honeybush & Green Honeybush
Between the great mountain ranges separating the edge of the Karoo from the southern shores of
Africa, there is a narrow coastal plain stretching some 250km – this territory is the home of the
Honeybush plant. Like Rooibos, Honeybush has an array of health-promoting properties perfectly
suited to counteract the negative impact of today’s stressful environment. It also has a delightfully
distinctive taste, with prominent notes of wildflowers as well as subtle undertones of fruit and sweet
spices and a lingering taste of honey.

Lemon Myrtle
Lemon myrtle's aroma has been described as that of a lemon lolly, perfumed with menthol notes.
The main source of the sweet citrus scent of lemon myrtle essential oil are the natural compounds citral, citronellal and linalool. It is citral that also gives lemons, lemongrass and lemon verbena their lemony aromatic quality.
The flavour profile is that of strong lemon with some sweetness and cooling on the palate, with refreshing intense citrus notes that have been described as ‘lemonier than lemon'.
Lemon myrtle is commonly used to add a clean and crisp citrus-like flavour & fragrance to a wide range of culinary applications.

Rosehip
This thorny creeper nestles between the dramatic peaks of Lesotho’s majestic Maluti Mountains, where it reveals its vast healing potentials. Rosehip offers a delicate, characteristically floral, and slightly sweet flavour with a distinctly tart aftertaste. Rich in nutrients and disease-fighting properties, Rosehips have gained much attention within the nutraceutical and cosmetic industries. They are abounding in antioxidants, containing high levels of polyphenols, carotenoids, and vitamins C and E. Rosehips may aid in strengthening the immune system, protect against heart disease and type 2 diabetes, reduce osteoarthritis pain and inflammation, and support weight loss.
