Our Single Origin Rooibos collection includes teas that are grown in one specific region around the world. All of our rooibos we pack in blends and flavours in state-of-the-art sealed foil bags so that our customers can taste the freshness of the tea leaves. Every stage of tea growing and tea processing is carefully monitored on site by family members and managers, to ensure the premium quality that has come to be associated with African Dawn products. To this day it remains one of South Africa's few endemic wild resources that's succeeded in becoming a commercially cultivated crop. The cut leaves are then fermented, a process which lends the tea its distinctive brick-red colour and aroma. All Rooibos is sifted to clear it of coarser particles and tea dust,and also to ensure a uniformly cut length. Apart from the African Dawn range, The Big Five Rooibos Company is also able to package other costumers' own brands. Blend of peacefulness, beauty of the wild and the powerful plant of rooibos. Rooibos is sold in various packed ranges under The Big Five Rooibos Company's own brand, African Dawn Estate Rooibos.
