There is no better way to unwind than taking a moment to sit down for a good cup of rooibos and enjoy it with a nutty rusk that you can dunk into it. Carmién Tea is known for their innovative tea blends and quite new in the range is their Calm rooibos tea – a tea made with red rooibos and 2mg CBD added to it – ideal for that perfect tea moment, helping you to calm down during or after a heavy day’s work. It works just as good in making these delicious rusks itself.
Deluxe nutty wholewheat rusks
These delicious rusks are loaded with nuts and seeds and made with rooibos tea containing CBD (THC free). The rooibos tea adds subtle notes of lemon balm and passionflower to the rusks. The rusks contain no egg nor milk, making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans as well.
