Bio Chamomile Tea (5x20 bags)

Camomile tea

The golden-yellow blossoms of real chamomile are a real feast for the eyes. Its mild tea has been drunk since ancient times to relax the stomach and nerves.

Fresh variety from the treasure trove of nature

Hibiscus, peppermint and chamomile from the Egyptian desert, star anise and ginger from the most remote corners of Vietnam: the stories of our herbal and fruit teas tell of small farmers who miraculously found their way onto the world market.

Also miraculous is the fact that Rooibos only grows in the South African Cedar Mountains. No other place in the world seems to meet its special soil and climate requirements. For the Wupperthal Original Rooibos Co-operative (WORC), this is both an opportunity and a challenge. Because the small farmers have to assert themselves against corporations that sell the popular herbal tea on a large scale.

They succeed in doing this by sticking to old traditions: while the harvest is done mechanically in conventional plantations, the GEPA partners still cut the bushes with sickles. This care affects the quality of their tea, which they ferment, dry and prepare for transport themselves after harvesting. These work steps have created many jobs that make life in the region threatened by rural exodus possible and attractive again.
