We spread a questionnaire to our customers to write their review about Kawashima The Japanstore's original rooibos tea (you can look the original one in our Japanese page, here).
The result showed "satisfaction" from 49 valid questionnaires. We will show some of the reviews below.


I make the tea in a bottle.

Because it is something to drink every day, I was drawn to its "organic" traits and bought it. It's easy to drink. Even my daughter brought the steeped tea to school in her bottle. My stomach felt so much better immediately after the first drink. Using makeup also becomes much easier (because of the effect on skin). I didn't get these benefits when drinking the one I bought from the supermarket, so I was surprised.

How is The Process Until Rooibos Tea is Made

We vacuum-pack high-quality raw materials carefully selected by Rooibos Limited Ltd., and transport them to Japan in a fresh state.

Only products that meet strict standards are shipped on a production line dedicated to the Japanese market. Inspection of microbes and residual pesticides is also carried out for each batch.
We use the additive-free and pesticide-free fresh rooibos leaves.

Many Japanese manufacturers sterilize the product twice, first in South Africa and Japan. Rooibos leaves that have been sterilized twice have a deep red color, but with reduced taste, flavor, and polyphenol content. Kawashima The Japanstore's Rooibos tea only sterilized once in South Africa.
