Rooibos Orange Organic

The demand for the best

We've chosen one of the most delicate rooibos varieties, sourced from a family farm nestled in the heart of the Cederberg Mountains. There, the rooibos needles are hand-harvested, sun-dried, and patiently turned using artisanal methods passed down through generations.

There are many qualities of rooibos, varying according to altitude, the fineness of the needles, the fermentation time, and the care taken in cutting. The one we have chosen here is an oxidized rooibos, certainly, but in a light and controlled manner. This partial fermentation gives it a luminous amber color, a supple texture, and above all, preserved freshness. This balanced profile, halfway between the vegetal of green rooibos and the woody roundness of red rooibos, blends ideally with the zesty notes of sweet orange, without weighing them down or masking them. A subtle alliance, designed to reveal the essence of the fruit while highlighting the delicacy of rooibos.

The union of South African terroir and Mediterranean fruit

To this base of great purity, we have combined an exceptional organic orange, grown in an orchard in Andalusia, near the village of Naranja Alta. It was during a spring trip that our flavorist discovered these orchards bathed in light, where the air is fragrant with fresh zest. Falling under the spell of this sun-drenched landscape, she brought back this sweet and lively orange, whose peel gives the rooibos a vibrant freshness and an inimitable signature.

Rooibos and food pairings

Organic Orange Rooibos pairs wonderfully with citrus pastries: lemon cake, orange madeleine, yuzu tart, or light gingerbread. It also echoes dark chocolate desserts, revealing their bitterness by contrast, especially when served with an intense chocolate fondant or a full-bodied ganache flavored with candied orange. Served iced, it pairs perfectly with fresh fruit salads or mandarin sorbets.



Recipes and cocktails based on Organic Orange Rooibos

It can become the basis of a homemade iced infusion, brewed cold with orange slices and a few mint leaves. Or it can be transformed into a comforting latte, infused with oat or rice milk, enhanced with a hint of cinnamon. For the more adventurous, it can even serve as the base for a racy mocktail: infused for a long time, then mixed with a dash of clementine juice and a drop of maple syrup, it becomes a healthy and sunny party drink.
