People who keep a tin of rooibos within reach

Guesthouse owners restocking evening trays, tearoom staff weighing leaf by the gram, and home drinkers who have settled on one blend and buy it in refill pouches. This page is for the ones who already know how they brew.

What guesthouses and tearooms get out of ordering here

Most of the people who land on this page run a breakfast room, a small guesthouse kitchen or a tearoom counter. They are not shopping for a gift. They need the same blends to arrive, taste the same, and be easy to restock before the tray runs empty. That shapes how we pack and what we keep on the shelf.

Blends that hold up on a busy tray

Honeybush and chamomile stay soft even when a pot sits for ten minutes. Nothing turns bitter if a server is pulled away mid-service.

Refill pouches instead of new jars

Keep your glass jars on the shelf and top them up by weight. Less packaging to store, less waste out the back door each week.

Brewing ratios printed on every listing

Grams per cup, water temperature, steep time. Hand it to a new staff member and the tea comes out the same as last season.

Notes field for delivery windows

Tell us the quiet hours at your front desk, or leave a gift message for a guest. It travels with the order, not in a separate email.

Small runs, packed the same day

Seasonal lots sell out and come back in small batches, so stock turns weekly. Orders packed before the courier cutoff leave the Cape Town packing room that afternoon. If you want to see how we handle standing orders for kitchens, the supply arrangements are set out there, and any question about a specific blend can go through contact.

What guesthouses and tearooms reach for next

If you run a tea tray, a breakfast room or a small kitchen, these are the three lines that leave the packing room most often. Each listing carries its harvest note and brewing ratio, so you can match a blend to the way your guests actually drink it.

Cederberg Rooibos Loose Leaf

Single-origin red bush, 250 g refill pouch

One farm, one harvest, no blending. Long-cut leaf that brews deep amber in about five minutes and takes a second steep without going bitter. Sized to top up a 500 ml jar.

Honeybush and Chamomile Evening Blend

Loose leaf, 120 g glass jar

Honeybush carries the sweetness chamomile alone tends to miss, kept close to an even ratio so neither flower takes over. Loose, not dusted, so it wants a strainer. Works iced with a slice of orange.

Five-Tin Tasting Set

Rooibos, honeybush, chamomile, mint, spice mix

Five 30 g tins with hand-written labels and a short brewing note on each base. The set we send when a guesthouse is trialling a new tea tray. Refillable tins, box fits a standard letterbox.

See what is inside

Seasonal lots turn over weekly, so a blend can sell out and come back in a small run. If you are ordering for a full tray, add your delivery window and any grind or packing note in the cart field and we pack the same day before the courier cutoff.
