What We Do
Carmién Tea offers bulk and packed Rooibos products for customers globally. We grow and source the best quality organic and conventional Rooibos from prime growing areas such as our own Piekenierskloof Mountains. The Carmién Rooibos range is available in organic (bio) and/or regular (conventional) products and is produced on Fairtrade principles.
Carmién Rooibos and herbal tisanes are available for bulk international and local orders, custom blends for private label uses, and Carmién-branded rooibos and teaware.
Who We Are
We bring you rooibos grown with care for people and the planet. From our superior quality rooibos to our innovative blends, each product is made to support a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Our teas and tisanes reflect a deep commitment to wellbeing, sustainability, and the natural goodness that rooibos offers.
The Carmién–Bergendal Rooibos facility is a 50% worker-owned factory with a production capacity of 3,000 tonnes of rooibos per year for bulk raw material processing and 1,000 tonnes for packed rooibos.

Our Promise
Customer
Goodness
Our customers are at the heart of everything we do.
We listen carefully and continuously strive to deliver the best possible Rooibos experience. Your feedback shapes our products and inspires us to keep innovating. At Carmién, every decision starts with our customers, as Rooibos is made to be enjoyed by people who care about quality, taste, and health.
Flavour
Goodness
We select the finest Rooibos and process it with care.
High-quality rooibos is naturally sweet and smooth, with no bitterness or aftertaste. At Carmién, we select only the finest leaves and process them with care, so every cup is fresh, aromatic, and full of flavour. The result is Rooibos that’s bright, pure, and delicious – proof of our commitment to quality in every step from crop to cup.
Social
Goodness
We believe in uplifting our workers as well as their families.
We support children from as young as three months old in our Early Childhood Development Centres, and offer after-school care, skills training, and social development for over 4 000 beneficiaries. Our commitment to social upliftment means every Carmién product directly supports these communities.
Eco
Goodness
We look after the land as much as we look after our people.
Half of our shareholder-producers’ farmland remains wild, preserving the unique Fynbos Floral Kingdom of South Africa. Sustainable farming guides everything we do, from organic practices and stringent water conservation. Nurturing the land means our product is of the highest quality.
