Sunbird Stainless Steel Tea Infuser with Lid

Sunbird was founded in 2016 by Anton who grew up on a wine grape farm outside of Cape Town, South Africa. This afforded him the opportunity to learn about birds and to be amongst the mountains and oceans of the Cape – two of the most fascinating and biodiverse places in the world. While living in Nepal with his Finnish wife Laura, Anton trekked among the inspirational Himalayas and discovered what fine tea can be. On returning home, he had a newfound passion for Rooibos, a drink that had been as a staple since a baby. This dual love for fine flavours and the natural world is the foundation of Sunbird Rooibos. Sunbird is the first to release a range of Single-Origin Rooibos tea. They are the only company in the world to offer organically grown Rooibos tea from single-origin sources. This offering is possible through creating value close to the source of their growers, and in turn, they are able create a better South Africa for its people and natural environment. Without blending or adding flavourings, these teas represent our suppliers' unique growing conditions, made distinct by climate, soil and biodiversity. They have followed this success with a range of blended Rooibos using only natural ingredients. Sunbird aims to elevate the profile of Rooibos from a humble staple that many South Africans grew up with, to a discerning and nuanced drink that is comparable to acclaimed specialty coffees and orthodox teas. The quality of their Rooibos is matched by our stylish packaging and they strongly promote the reusabilility, recyclability and compostability of their product.
