FlavourBurst Rooibos Tea
Full Flavoured Tea by
Cape Natural Tea Products

Traditionally all rooibos tea was processed using either a chaff-cutting machine or a tobacco cutter. Cape Natural Tea Products believed that more flavour could be extracted from each leaf by improving the cutting process of the rooibos tea leaf. The result of two years' research is the new FLAVOURBURSTTM cutting technology.

How FlavourBurst Rooibos is made In order to make Rooibos tea, the green leaves have to be fermented. A regular cut leaf has a smooth unbroken surface, minimising the contact of the plant's juices with oxygen and hence limiting the formation of flavours The new FLAVOURBURST cutter ruptures the surface of the rooibos tea leaf and this allows for optimum contact of the juices with oxygen. The result is a tea leaf with a full, rounded flavour. When infusing the leaf in hot water, the flavour is quickly extracted. The benefit to tea lovers: a full flavoured cup of Rooibos tea, prepared in minimal time.
