Organic Rooibos and Antartic Sea Salt from Gathering Place Trading Company

The Gathering Place Organic Tea Bags

An upswelling of demand for our fabulous teas in tea bag form, pushed the Gathering Place to stop being purists! The company now offers three of their delicious teas — Rooibos, Honeybush, and Green Rooibos — in convenient, portable tea bags. People report that they are sharing tea bags at work and on holidays, and spreading the healthy news about Rooibos!
The tea bags come in funky triangular boxes that are made from 100% recycled non-chlorinated paper and printed using vegetable ink. An added bonus is that they are actually compostable and you can use them in your garden for mulch! In addition, 13% of the profits from tea bag sales go towards African children in need.

Organic Rooibos

Rooibos is a full bodied tea with a sweet flavour, plentiful antioxidants, no caffeine, and little tannin. It is naturally fermented to create its characteristic red colour.

"We have been drinking Rooibos tea for several years now. Once we became accustomed to the new taste, we found it to be a most pleasing and refreshing drink. After researching its incredible health benefits, we knew we had found a drink for life!"
— Simon and Louise Henson, Salt Spring Island, British Columbia
"Your Rooibos tea is the only one I drink. It's delicious! I keep a pot going on the stove all day. It's really good with almond milk, or maple syrup and lemon."
— Paul C., Lakefield, Ontario
