Harvested up in high mountains then brought down by donkey in hessian sacks and bruised with hammers and axes and left to ferment in sacks and then dried under the suns rays. In the early 20^th Century, Ginsberg a local Botanist began to experiment using Chinese tea processing methods much like the Keemun tea from Anhui province to produce these beautifully smooth earthy notes which we now associate with Rooibos
