About Fairest Cape Tea Company

Discover the story behind Fairest Cape Tea Company, a journey that began in 2014 when co-founder Kissila swapped her morning coffee for a simple cup of Rooibos. What followed was an unexpected sense of calm that sparked a deeper exploration into this remarkable tea. Read personal reflections from both our founders, Kissila and Douglas, and learn how a single cup led to something truly special. "Back in 2014, I swapped my morning coffee for a simple cup of Rooibos. That moment sparked my curiosity about the benefits of this South African treasure. Years later, during the challenging period of the pandemic, Rooibos became more than just a beverage; it was an inspiration not only for finding calm and well-being, but also for conceiving this new venture. The very packaging of our tea is inspired by the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets of South Africa that I witnessed during a visit to the tea plantations – a daily spectacle of beauty that now graces your cup. Just as Sir Francis Drake marvelled at the beauty of the Cape of Good Hope in 1580, calling it "the fairest cape in the whole circumference of the Earth", I have marvelled at the benefits of Rooibos: naturally sweet, caffeine-free, and packed with antioxidants that promote good health. Welcome to Fairest Cape Tea Company, where my personal journey, marked by discovery and inspiration during a challenging time and the stunning landscapes of South Africa, unites with tradition to offer you a path to well-being."Read their story
