MY RED TEA Organic Rooibos Tea is a passion for health, for fairness and for the environment.
I'm a mom of two boys and live in Corte Madera, CA, but still call South Africa my home. I grew up (literally) with Rooibos Tea: a naturally caffeine free beverage that has been used by generations of South Africans- from baby to granny. Inside and out.
Organic, sustainable, ethically farmed products and practices that truly deliver on health and wellness is what MY RED TEA is all about.
MY RED TEA is meaningful. I created MY RED TEA to incorporate you, it's your red tea, your health and your well being. It also belongs to the farmers and farm workers, its their red tea too and they're proud of it. 10% of our profits support education in our Rooibos farming communities. We made our first donation to a school for farmworkers in September 2016. In March 2017, we partnered with an after school dance troupe for teenagers in the Clan William area of the Western Cape.
No funny stuff! All our products color and cruelty-free. We NEVER test on animals. We are free of preservatives, colorants or any other artificial ingredients, just 100% Organic and natural. We pride ourselves on the quality of our rooibos with no milled rooibos sticks blended back to cut costs, or rooibos dust being added to artificially improve the colour. Our product is one of a few that simply contain pure rooibos leaves, the way rooibos was meant to be enjoyed.
It's good for all of us: Studies have shown that Rooibos has some pretty amazing properties. Full of vitamins and minerals, it is a naturally caffeine free, gluten free product with many benefits.
It's good for the environment: No irrigation is used for Rooibos which often grows in drought like conditions, saving precious water resources. Rooibos is still harvested by hand in much the same way as it has been for hundreds of years.
Remember that each time you use MY RED TEA Organic products, your body thanks you, the community thanks you and the planet thanks you.
