Last week I had the privilege of showing two journalists around in the capital of Rooibos tea. The media tour was arranged by the South African Rooibos Council, in conjunction with the Rooibos Route.
Read all about day one of our amazing experiences and about the beautiful people of Clanwilliam and surrounds.

Soos vinkel en koljander is Rooibos tee sinoniem met Clanwilliam, maar soms vind mens dat besoekers aan ons dorp nie die uniekheid van hierdie besonderse uitvoerproduk besef nie. Julian Jansen van Rapport en Aron Hyman van Sunday Times kom kuier vir 3 dae in ons streek. Ons eerste stop is op Skimmelberg Rooibos & Buchu plaas, waar Carike ons op die plaas rondwys. Ongelukkig kon die joernaliste nie tydens oestyd in die somer kom nie, maar die pragtige pers ridderspore maak met mening daarvoor op.
‘n Heerlike wintermiddag sonnetjie gooi sy gloed oor ons tussen die plantasies, waarna ons rooibos tee met gemmer, camomile, en boegoe proe. Die boegoe verras die manne die meeste, maar hulle besluit ook dat camomile dalk ideaal is vir die stressvolle dae.
Gasvrou Enid Viljoen verwelkom ons joernaliste by Ndedema Lodge. In hierdie antieke victoriaanse huis in Parkstraat geniet hulle egte rooiboswêreld gasvryheid.

In die mode bedryf praat hulle van ‘n SHOW STOPPER, maar ons val sommer reeds die eerste aand in by Cederberg Ridge, waar Leshia & Craig ons ontvang vir aandete met ‘n verskil. David & Cisca Niewoudt verwelkom ons met Cederberg se Blanc De Blanc Cap Classique, wat komplimenteer word deur heerlike canapés, en so begin ‘n uitsonderlike onthou aand. Met joernaliste wat hou van vrae vra en gewoonlik aan moordsake werk, loop die gesels heerlik en ons deel verhale en stories uit ons omgewing. Ons sit aan vir onvergeetlike driegang maal. Sien gerus die spyskaart hier: CEDERBERG WINES DINNER PDF.
Die spyskaart kan vir privaatfunksie bespreek word. - Kontak
Die uitmuntende kos word saam met net die beste Cederberg wyne bedien. Ek merk dat die toekenning plakkers nêrens sigbaar is nie, net om later te hoor dat daar nie genoeg plek was vir al die plakkers nie!
One of the wines we enjoyed with our main meal was the exceptional Five Generations Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, which recently received the accolade “Best in Show” in the Cabernet Sauvignon category at the International Decanter World Wine Awards. With a near perfect score of 97 points, Cisca explained that this is like winning Gold at the Olympics. Believe me, this wine is out of this world and certainly tastes like winning gold. Congratulations to David and and his team at Cederberg Wines.
Next week I’ll share more on our exciting media tour in and around Clanwilliam. #ExploreClanwilliam
Thank you to all the sponsors for making this media tour possible.

It was a year of firsts for countries, regions and wine styles at the 2021 Decanter World Wine Awards. The top 50 wines represent this, shining a spotlight on exciting, under-the-radar wines all over the wine world and highlighting exemplary favourites from top wine-producing countries, too.

Skimmelberg Buchu & Rooibos

Partykeer is iets só mooi dat jy amper nie jou eie oë kan glo nie. Só lyk die Biedouw in 'n mooi blomjaar en vanjaar is só 'n jaar. Ja, dit is selfs mooier as laasjaar. Biedouw beteken blykbaar “melkbospas” en is 'n Khoi-woord. Dit is vernoem na die giftige geelmelkbosse wat so volop op die Hoek-se-berg-pas en in die vallei voorkom , maar dit is allermins nie nét melkbosse wat hier voorkom nie. Ons woon al amper 30 jaar in Clanwilliam en ons kan nie onthou dat die sporrie al in sulke reuse blou wolke in die Biedouw geblom het nie. Op sommige plekke is daar wit reënblomme tussen die sporrie en op sommige plekke is dit 'n oranje en bloupers extravaganza! Gousblomme, botterblomme, handjies, rukkeperdjies, tulpe, kantblommetjies, feëklokkies en nog vele meer blom nou in die Biedouw! Maar, hierdie is die jaar van die sporrie. Dit is wat ons van vanjaar se blomtyd sal onthou. Los alles, gryp jou kamera en gaan kyk! En moenie vergeet om by die Biedouw Valley Pop-up Coffee Shop in te “pop” nie! Die prei-en-spek quiche is “to die for”!

Rooibos Studio took part in an exciting expo in China in July. The 2021 CBME China Maternity and Infant Exhibition was held at the Shanghai National Convention Centre. In this newsletter, you can read more about the product they unveiled at this event.
In other news, Clicks has announced a new business lifeline opportunity. They want to give small black-owned businesses in South Africa the boost they need to thrive. One local company hoping to benefit from this is Marice Skin Care. Read more below.
In this newsletter, we also share news about a new study that shows that Rooibos can help you live longer. The study followed a group of participants who included Rooibos in their diet for a few weeks and the results were very positive. Find out more further down.
Finally, we tell you how scientists are still hopeful that Rooibos can deliver an Olympic performance.

Die agste oseaan
Die wȇreld het nog `n oseaan bygekry
Sy branders breek in die Biedouw-vallei
Hierdie strand bevind hom op land
Uniek geskape, uit God se hand
Branders breek blou oor die vlaktes
En die rustigheid oorstroom jou gedagtes
Jy klim uit jou kar en bekyk dit van nader
Mens verwar so maklik sporries met water!
