WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS BRAND

Cederbos’ tea bags are biodegradable, unbleached and plastic-free. In their effort to preserve our environment, for every tree that is cut down to produce their tea boxes a tree is planted in replacement.

The company Cederbos was founded by Corné van der Westhuizen, following the footprints of his dad, Dr Frans van der Westhuizen, who owns the first certified organic rooibos tea farm in South Africa. Working in the rooibos fields and at the processing facility with his dad, Corné learned from a young age that during the natural fermentation process, bees are attracted to the rooibos leaves that are rich in color and aroma. The bee became the emblem of Cederbos to symbolize their work ethics based on sustainability and respect of nature. Cederbos strives to select the highest quality rooibos leaves for its rooibos tea blends and the Cederbos team follows the guidance of the bees when harvesting the rooibos leaves for packaging.
