LMC Gifting Collection

THE GIFTING COLLECTION

LMC founder, Lize du Preez, née Mouton, is the inspiration behind this young brand, conceived in 2018. The beautifully packaged LMC Rooibos Tea Collection celebrates her South African roots, her love for tea, and a long family heritage of rooibos farming.

Rooibos used in the LMC Rooibos Collection is sustainably sourced from the Citrusdal valley where Lize grew up. Here, at the foothills of the Cederberg Mountains located in the Western Cape of South Africa, this valley is the gateway to the Rooibos Tea route which is the only region in the world where this miracle plant grows.

Each LMC collection, inspired by the original Rooibos Collection, is specially selected by Lize and handcrafted with care by expert collaborator brands.

The Home Collection features beautifully printed tea gift boxes and teaware like glass teapots, cast iron teapots, double wall cups and more.
