Five Mountains only started to import Rooibos tea at the request of its Michelin-starred restaurant clientele. But it applies the same stringent standards to this South African plant that it does to its traditional teas. Co-founder Jeffrey McCloud sourced this Rooibos from Cedarburg, also a well-known wine region on the Western Cape. The crimson color tea is bright with notes of raisin and cedar.

Here's what you get:

  • 3 oz bag of Cedarburg Rooibos tea (organic Rooibos botanical tea)

Five Mountains Tea Cedarburg, Western Cape, South Africa

Time spent living in Asia's mountain monasteries and adopting the ways of the monastic lifestyle taught the Five Mountains founders about, among other things, sacred tea traditions. They now share their expertise and love of organic, sustainably-harvested teas with the world.

From the Source Estimated Delivery: May 29 2012 - Jun 6 2012

Once your order is processed, your order will be ground shipped to you. Your tea will be packaged in 100% post-consumer recycled fiber, biodegradable peanuts, and non-poly kraft tape. You'll receive an email notifying you of the ship date. Five Mountain ships Monday through Friday.

 

Why We Love It

Most people don't brew Rooibos tea long enough, says Five Mountains' cofounder Jason Creech. But this tea is nearly impossible to oversteep. Use one tablespoon of Cedarburg Rooibos with eight ounces of 195° water for five to seven minutes. The tea is certified organic in the United States as well as the far-stricter European Union and Japan.
