Inside Carmién Tea’s Women’s Month Celebration at Food Jams

Carmién Tea celebrated Women’s Month at Food Jams with an afternoon of cooking, rooibos, women’s health conversations and plenty of time to connect around the table.
Carmién Tea celebrated Women’s Month at Food Jams with an afternoon of cooking, rooibos, women’s health conversations and plenty of time to connect around the table.

There was lots of tea, plenty of food and even more conversation when women came together at Food Jams on 1 August to start Women’s Month with us.

Carmién Tea-infused non-alcoholic welcome drinks set the tone for a relaxed get-together, with women of different ages and backgrounds gathering around the kitchen. Aprons went on, teapots from the Carmién Tea Women’s range were ready to taste throughout the afternoon, and it was time to get cooking.

 

Cooking, Connecting and Plenty of Rooibos

After a warm welcome from Carmién Tea Marketing & Creative Head, Leigh-Anne Whitelaw, chef and food writer Carmen Niehaus shared a little of her lifelong connection with rooibos.

Having grown up on a rooibos farm, Carmen has found plenty of ways to bring it into her cooking over the years. She even jokes that her spice rack is mostly boxes of rooibos tea. She shared some of her favourite ways to cook with rooibos and where that inspiration comes from.

Then it was over to the cooking stations. Eight women gathered at each, with MasterChef South Africa Season 2 winner, chef and author Kamini Pather joining in. Kamini had helped put the recipes together and moved between the stations, chatting and lending a hand as everyone got cooking.

There was homemade pita with hummus and zucchini to start, followed by green curry for the main course. There was plenty of chatting, helping and tasting along the way, and by the end, no two plates looked quite the same.

 

Women’s Health Around the Table

Once the cooking was done, everyone moved to the long tables to enjoy the delicious food together and the conversation turned to women’s health.

Dr Ledivia Strauss, a general practitioner with a special interest in hormonal health, gut health and overall wellbeing, spoke openly about hormones, perimenopause and menopause, as well as the realities of trying to look after yourself when life is already busy.

Her advice was practical too. Looking after your health doesn’t have to mean changing everything at once. Small changes, introduced bit by bit, can make a meaningful difference over time.

 

Taking Women’s Month Beyond August

Dessert followed, tea kept flowing, and every guest went home with the full Carmién Tea Women’s range. But what stayed with us was the energy around that table.

As Women’s Month draws to a close, it was a lovely reminder of what can happen when women make time to come together, share what they know, talk openly about their health, cook, eat and simply enjoy each other’s company. And sometimes, that can all start over a cup of tea.
