Our Story
Where It All Began
Rooiwal is a single estate organic Rooibos tea farm. It has been in the Thiart family for over 40 years. Jannie Thiart is a third generation farmer who inherited the farm when his father passed away. From humble beginnings, Jannie and his wife Christelle has farmed and developed Rooiwal into a certified organic Rooibos tea farm that is Eco-friendly and self sustainable.
Jannie and Christelle are passionate about Rooibos tea and nature. They chose their logo from the Pincushion Protea that is indigenous to the area and grows wildly on the farm. They are proud to be part of the South African Rooibos industry and strive to produce the best quality Rooibos.
“When life boils your kettel, make tea…”
