TASTING NOTES
Light in colour with fresh fruit notes accompanied by low tannins. Different
sub-species of wild Rooibos add to the complexity of the flavours. Pressure on our processor this year meant for a late harvest. The more mature plants brought milder flavours but with smoothness and a long finish. Brew at a lower temperature to bring out the best in this discerning tea.
THE TERROIR
Our wild tea is from the same farm as our Hidden Valley. This tea is sustainably harvested from naturally vegetated slopes that are too steep, rocky or inaccessible to be commercially farmed. We only harvest every other year to ensure seeding and regrowth is sufficient to maintain a wild crop. The altitude ranges from 650m to 750m.
