Chris & Annette du Plessis run the eco- tourism part of a big Rooibos tea plantation. It is situated between Clanwilliam and Lambert's Bay. Rika the lady who ran our accommodation suggested we do a tour. We arrived early so were invited to join the group that had been staying overnight and were breakfasting in this 'cave'. It was one of the coolest places in the area.
Rooibos tea is a natural herb unique to the South African Cedarberg Mountains. During the summer months the Rooibos (red bush) plants are harvested, fermented and dried in nature's laboratory. Here are the bushes.
Are these the largest tea bags in the World?
To enter the processing area we had to dress up.
If you look hard enough you will see San rock art. There are 2 skinny people drawn on the rock - difficult to see.
