Mandela Tea

South Africans have long been captivated by the subtle, earthly flavor and numerous health benefits of rooibos tea. But, there's another local herbal tea that's made its mark - honeybush. Its sweet taste, high antioxidant count, and honey-like aroma have been gaining popularity. Similar to rooibos, both teas are unique to very specific regions of South Africa. While rooibos is found in the Cederberg Mountains of the Western Cape, honeybush grows wild in the coastal mountains from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth. Honeybush has been used by locals for its various health properties for centuries, but its growing demand has led to more commercial cultivation. Boil your kettle for a good cause, the Mandela Tea range is produced in collaboration with the Long Walk to Freedom brand; where a portion of the profits go directly to the Mandela Day School Library project. They use the finest indigenous teas to South Africa.

Comes in a beautiful, reusable tin containing 20 teabags.

Homegrown honeybush is brewing at Kurland Estate, Plettenberg Bay.

"Inspired by Kurland’s contribution to honeybush’s growth, we caught up with the director of the Southern Cape Tea Company, Alexander Behr. For the past 12 years he has been successfully growing honeybush on 50 hectares of the estate and employing 20 staff to help run the project. He has loved following in his family’s footsteps, with his agricultural roots stemming from his grandfather, Baron Peter Behr, who purchased Kurland in 1941 and started farming pine nuts and fruit on the estate."

Celebrating sustainability in every cup of Mandela Tea

"Five years ago, Alexander formed a meaningful partnership with Nelson Mandela’s granddaughters and the Long Walk to Freedom Foundation. Together they launched Mandela Tea as an officially licensed product."
