Mother’s Day is this Sunday, and it’s the perfect time to show your mum how much you love and appreciate her. Using Rooibos, with its sweet, nutty flavour, you can create a memorable day filled with warmth and thoughtful gestures, from sharing a cup of tea to surprising her with creative treats.
Enjoy a relaxing moment together over a steaming cup of caffeine-free Rooibos tea, paired with homemade scones or her favourite biscuits. For a special touch, prepare a Rooibos-infused dish, like a fragrant sponge cake or a savoury chicken dish poached in Rooibos, to delight her taste buds and show your care.
For an extra-special gift, curate a Rooibos-themed basket with assorted tea blends, a stylish mug, and Rooibos-scented bath salts or lotion. Add a heartfelt note to make her feel truly cherished.
This Mother’s Day, let Rooibos help you create lasting memories with your mum.

When most people think of tea, their minds wander to the misty plantations of India or China, but here in South Africa, we have something truly special – something no one else in the world can grow quite like we can: Rooibos.
As we mark International Tea Day on 21 May, there’s no better time to raise a mug to this proudly South African brew that has not only made its mark globally, but also carries a heritage as rich as its red hue.
The South African Rooibos Council has recently published an article in which it highlights some of the top reasons why one should incorporate Rooibos into your daily life.
