Experience Rooibos like never before at our Tea Shop at De Tol Farm Deli, outside of Citrusdal on the N7. Pairing tea with food and wine presents your palate with a new depth of taste allowing you to experience enhanced flavours through the complementary elements of various ingredients. A host of articles have been written about pairing tea with chocolate, but a rooibos tea, food & wine pairing is a particularly unique tasting experience. Rooibos tea acts as a natural palate cleanser and is also naturally sweet as opposed to astringent black teas. You can also browse locally sourced goods at the Deli and enjoy special wine tastings and pairings at the Piekenierskloof Wines Tasting Room.
