Topsy Tea

This flavoursome rooibos is scented with bergamot for a delightful Earl Grey taste without the caffeine. Blue cornflowers are also added which have a sweet and spicy flavour, a bit like cloves but nowhere near as strong.

Topsy Tea has a natural sweetness and is decaffeinated so is a great choice for a comforting bedtime drink.

Rooibos is grown in South Africa and specifically, is indigenous to the Cederberg Mountains, three hours north of Cape Town. It flourishes in mountainous areas with periods of significant rainfall. It takes around 18 months to harvest and is manufactured in a similar way to the camelia synthesis plant. It is a reddish-brown once oxidised and is often referred to as redbush. The more oxidised the sweeter and richer in colour it becomes. It is a member of the legume family and produces needle-like leaves.
