Skimmelberg


A family owned company, rooted in the local community with extensive experience gained over generations in the production of rooibos and buchu products.
As both growers and processors of their own produce, Skimmelberg can ensure highest standards in the entire production process, and as such take pride in the outstanding quality of their products.
Skimmelberg firmly believes in biodiversity-friendly farming methods, and are actively promoting sustainable best practice. Skimmelberg has adopted environmentally friendly farming and production practices, working in harmony with nature by making use of its natural resources. An example of such practices is the use of organic liquid fertilizer, known as compost tea, made on our farms in the process of vermicomposting; another is the use of carbon-neutral fuel in our essential oil distillation plant. 
As a result Skimmelberg have gained certification of the organic products from CERES, an independent certification organization representing the highest international standards for nature-friendly products.

 

Cape Moondance

Another family owned company.
The late Ronel Terblanche – the founder and owner of Cape Moondance – has been using pure buchu leaf for the past 25 years. The never ending search for quality buchu as well as the time it took to brew and strain the leaves, gave her the idea to produce the first 100% pure buchu teabags in South Africa and probably the world.

The Cape Moondance packaging was designed to reflect the vibrant colours and subtle nuances of the South African soil.

Sceletia was born in 2010 in Plettenberg Bay, not far from the Tsitsikama mountains and the Langkloof where they source their Honeybush. Partly-bred in Plettenberg Bay until 2012 Sceletia then set up headquarters in Stellenbosch in 2013 where it has been based since. 

The Honeybush is (sustainably) wild-harvested (thus completely organic) in the Tsitsikama mountains near Kareedouw and Joubertina in the Langkloof, South-Eastern Cape. It is processed(cut, fermented, dried and sieved) by an organic and HACCP-approved processor in the Langkloof and mixed (with small quantities of Sceletium, a succulent growing in the Klein Karoo and Namaqualand)
