Rooibos
To ensure even and healthy growth, Rooibos bushes are first cultivated in small seedbeds. This process takes place in the late South African summer, from February to March. The seeds are first mechanically processed to achieve a particularly high germination rate. The following autumn, the seedlings are carefully harvested by hand and transplanted into the fields of the Cederberg region. This is followed by an 18-month growth phase before the first harvest can take place. During harvesting, the shrubs are manually cut approximately 40 cm above the ground, allowing the plant to continue growing and produce up to four additional harvests.
