An extraordinary journey from the arid heart of South Africa to your cup. This herbal infusion tells a story that begins in the small town of Prieska, nestled on the banks of the mighty Orange River in the Karoo. Here, wild mesquite trees (Prosopis glandulosa), introduced from Mexico, now thrive abundantly. What once posed a challenge to local ecology has become a source of opportunity and resilience.
The deep-yellow seed pods of the mesquite tree are harvested by a socially empowered network of local farmers and workers. With care and respect for nature, these pods are dried and baked at carefully regulated temperatures to coax out their natural flavours. The result is a rich and creamy aroma with delicate vanilla notes and a subtle roasted character that reflects the warmth of the Karoo landscape.
This unique infusion celebrates the harmony between nature, people and purpose. It is a proud representation of African excellence and ingenuity, where tradition and innovation meet to create something truly special.
Serving suggestion:
We recommend brewing herbal infusion with water at around 100 degrees Celsius. Steep the herbs for approximately 3 minutes, then taste to see if the strength suits your preference. If you desire a stronger brew, you may steep it for another minute or two. Use a teapot with an infuser for best results. If a teapot is not available, an infuser ball, infuser cup, or a fine mesh strainer will also work well. For each serving, use about 3 to 4 grams of herbs, or roughly one teaspoon. This infusion may be steeped a second time; simply extend the brewing time to draw out the remaining flavour.
