Ingredients & Lore
blended with rooibos tea & natural almond flavor
Benjamin Ginsberg, a Russian immigrant to South Africa, was a peddler in the hills outside Cape Town, where he first drank a refreshing, inexpensive beverage he named Mountain Tea. Inspired by its health qualities, and low price, he became the first to market rooibos outside South Africa. Today, rooibos is exported all over the world, including Europe, America, and Japan where they believe it increases longevity and call it Longevity Tea. Adagio’s Rooibos Almond is the perfect example judicious flavoring: Delicate natural almond flavoring, a silky taste, and an ideal bedtime drink. Add a little honey and sweet dreams!Raw Honey for Rooibos

Meet our rooibos farmer, Niklaas Jakobus Slinger
To ensure the best quality and value, we import our teas directly from the countries in which they are grown, working closely with the farmers who tender them. Our Roots Campaign connects our customers with the rich stories and the farmers behind some of our most popular teas.
How long have you been growing tea?
“32 years. I started working as a laborer on a neighboring Rooibos Farm and for the past 14 years I have been growing Rooibos on my own farm.”
What got you started in the tea industry?
“I grew up on a Rooibos Farm. After I left home, I worked on different farms producing a wide variety of agricultural products, but my love for Rooibos and the area in which I grew up brought me back home. Since I was a small boy, I dreamed about owning my own Rooibos Farm and 14 years ago my dream came true with the help of my previous employer who helped me to loan money to purchase my own Rooibos farm.”
Can you describe a typical day out in the field? How many hours would that be?
“During Harvesting season (January - April), I leave home at 05:00 in the morning to turn the Rooibos fermentation heaps on the drying yard. I then go to the fields and start harvesting the Rooibos. At 10:00 I return to the drying yard to open the fermentation heaps and spread the Rooibos thin and evenly to dry. I then continue harvesting till we break for lunch at 12:30. After lunch (14:00) I take the harvested Rooibos to the drying yard for further processing. After cutting and bruising the tea is put into fermentation heaps around 18:00. After that we collect the dried Rooibos from the drying yard. My day ends at around 19:30. A typical working day is around 13 hours during harvesting season.”
