Louise Paulson, 28, uses a heat gun to put the finishing touches on a candle made with wax and Rooibos tea leaves. Louise and three other women work in a collective making hand-craft out of Rooibos Tea that is farmed on the Groenkol Rooibos Tea Estate. They also work sometimes in the fields picking Rooibos when the Tea must be harvested quickly. Thea Englbrecht, the daughter of the ownder of the farm runs the progam with the ladies, who like the work making crafts. "I like it, it lets me work with interesting things, and of course it is nice to have my children around in the workshop."
