BOS Ice Tea has launched the world’s first Twitter-activated sampling machine at Wembley Square, Cape Town!

Rooibos farmers near Clanwilliam are in the process of clearing close to 2 000 hectares of alien vegetation in the Olifants River rain catchment area.

After an incredibly dry period from 2010 to 2012, we can now finally celebrate – because heavy rains have landed in the Cederberg, and that’s very good news for our rooibos crop!

Changes in the way that rooibos producers market themselves, and meet consumer demand, are afoot, with the SA Rooibos Council among leading voices for the changes.

A bold blend of strawberries and blackberries – with 100% organic rooibos sourced only from our farm – make BOS Berry a great answer to consumer demand for a fresh flavour.

Local scientists are investigating whether or not rooibos can have benefits in restoring or reversing the effects of ageing.

If you’re in our area of the Cederberg, keep an eye out for our new orange signs – they point the way to our organic rooibos farm.

It’s fascinating to learn the early & mid-20th century history of the discovery and commercialisation of Rooibos, and how Rooibos was viewed and understood at the time.

Rooibos has many proven health properties, but there is still much to be discovered about this unique herbal tea from South Africa.

On a recent overseas holiday trip, I came across some great posters, cups and fridge magnets that appealed to the rooibos farmer in me.
