Fairtrade Organic Rooibos Tea

Naturally organic and guaranteed by the Fairtrade Foundation to meet international fair trade standards.

Known for its unique health properties, Rooibos is also a rich natural source of antioxidants. The absence of caffeine makes it an ideal, gently relaxing drink at any time.

Our Fairtrade Organic Rooibos is a refreshing tea that is grown by small cooperatives of farmers in remote parts of the magnificent Cape coastal mountains of South Africa where it has been enjoyed for centuries. It is still harvested by hand and cured naturally in the sun.

We buy all our Dragonfly Rooibos tea directly from the farmers. The Fairtrade certification guarantees that the smallest scale producers can compete at an advantage in the global markets.

The price is set and remains fixed above normal market levels and the income is shared equally amongst the cooperatives' members. This gives them greater financial stability and allows them to invest in their own futures with new machinery, better healthcare, schools and housing in the community.

For the last 50 years these small farms have produced organic hand-made Rooibos tea based on a real respect for and understanding of their environment. This pack will help them to reap the rewards of their hard work and to ensure the sustainability of the unique eco-system and their culture.
