Sterilizing & Sifting |
|
African
Dawn Rooibos tea is sterilized before packaging, a precaution aimed at
eliminating unwanted bacteria and fungi. Warm, dry air is blown over the
tea. The process is performed in an entirely moisture free environment,
ensuring that the tea does not lose any of its flavour. The tea is then
sifted to rid it of coarser particles and tea dust. The
final product is an optimum mixture of 2-4 mm tea leaves. |
|
Testing |
| All African Dawn Rooibos tea is tested by the Perishable Products Export Control Board (PPECB). This ensures consumers’ peace of mind that the tea is free of chemical residues and that stringent health control has been applied throughout the whole process. Every exported kilogram of African Dawn Rooibos tea is accompanied by the mandatory health, phytosanitary, export and origin certificates. |

Quality Control
|
|
The
company is wholeheartedly committed to and prides itself on guaranteeing
outstanding quality as a hallmark of the products that bear its name. Quality
control and strictly environmentally friendly practices weave throughout
the entire production process, starting in the tea plantations
themselves. Overall hygiene during processing and packaging is seen as
of critical importance. As
an estate, the company outranks its competitors in the field of quality
management during production. |
 |

In
recognition of this achievement, the company received the Total Quality
Management (TQM) Model in January 2001 in Geneva, Switzerland - a first
for a rooibos tea company in South Africa.
