Tucked away in the Cederberg Mountain Range in the Western Cape is the small village of Wupperthal, the birthplace of rooibos. Here, the humble, hardworking people of Wupperthal have been farming rooibos organically for over 200 years, and while they are not a rich community, they are a community rich in traditions and steeped in history. Following in the footsteps of their forefathers, they’ve preserved Wupperthal Rooibos cultivation rituals for generations, making Wupperthal Rooibos 1830 the country’s best-kept secret.

Wupperthal Rooibos 1830 Making A Difference

The 72 small-scale farmers who are members of the Fair Wupperthal Rooibos Cooperative benefit by earning 5% of revenue generated through the sales of Wupperthal Rooibos 1830. The local community is also at last set to enjoy direct benefit from more than 200 years of traditional knowledge, through contractual royalty payments from Bestinvestin (Pty) Ltd, the owner of the Wupperthal Rooibos 1830 brand, to the Wupperthal Community Development Trust.

An infusion that’s truly special, Wupperthal Rooibos 1830 is bringing socio-economic change to this impoverished and remote rural community.

Wupperthal is home to the best rooibos in the world.

The transformational nature of the business also creates much-needed employment in the small village of Nieuwoudtville in the Northern Cape Province, where the rooibos is processed and packaged. Wupperthal Rooibos 1830 has already created close to 40 new jobs in this area, with 10 new jobs created for every additional 10 000 units sold per month.

The Taste of Excellence

Wupperthal Rooibos 1830 is dark in colour, strong and naturally sweet in flavour, with subtle caramel and fruity aromas, establishing it as a rooibos of the highest quality.

Our farmers use age-old cultivation methods, free of all fertilisers and pesticides, resulting in a rooibos that is rich in anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to ensure that it’s as good for you as it is for the people who grow it.

Use your Wupperthal Rooibos 1830 to make your own Homemade Rooibos Iced Tea for warm summer days, or this Warming Rooibos Gingerbread ‘Latte’.
