Product Description

Masala chai (\"spiced tea\") is a beverage from the Indian subcontinent created by brewing tea with a mixture of aromatic Indian spices and herbs. The extra ginger and other spices give the Rooibos tea a warm and spicy taste. Excellent for cold evenings with milk and honey but loved by a lot of at any time of the day. The Story of Rooibos It was the neighborhood folks who 1st found that the fine, needle-like leaves of the wild Aspalathus Linearis plant created a tasty, aromatic tea. Found nowhere else in the globe but the northern Cederberg region in the Western Cape, Rooibos grew to become a staple of overall health and culture for the aboriginal peoples of South Africa. Why is Honest Trade Important? However, as Rooibos grew to become popular with the white settlers in the 1800\'s, the native farmers were pushed off their lands and endured over a century of oppression. Rooibos became cultivated on vast plantations and exported throughout the globe. Nevertheless right now more than 98% of all Rooibos is plantation-grown. If your Rooibos doesn\'t say Fair Trade then think again about purchasing it. The Wupperthal Big difference In 1998 against all odds, Wupperthal Authentic Rooibos Cooperative was established. Wupperthal is a democratically organized group of modest-scale farmers who have grown Rooibos in South Africa for generations. The Wupperthal farmers, getting been pushed off the most fertile land in the 1800\'s, now grow foods in the extremely dry, rocky soil of the Cederberg Mountains which presents a large challenge for most of their crops. With Rooibos, even so, the slower growth and reduce production has resulted in notably larger high quality tea in contrast to plantation Rooibos. Wupperthal Rooibos tea is recognized during the industry for its superior taste and quality. And it truly is guilt-free!
