Crop to cup
Before our tea reaches you, it goes through a number of steps to ensure that the product you receive is top quality. When it comes to the production of our Rooibos teas, our crop to cup process begins in Summer, when our specially prepared seedling beds are filled with Rooibos seeds. These then sprout into plants which are harvested, then fermented and finally sorted, graded and packaged for your enjoyment. The entire process is overseen by tea experts who pride themselves on ensuring that your next cup of tea is the best yet! This includes Joekels co-founder and master tea blender, Jonathan Kelsey. He is known as the man with Africa’s most expensive tongue, having insured his tongue and taste buds for R5 million.
