, which offers eight different types of indigenous teas, has pitched its way into becoming a supplier for Food Lover’s Market.
While doing community work in the village of Ga-Phaahla in Sikhukhune, Phaahla realised that there was a lot of indigenous knowledge of different foods, fruits and herbs that are beneficial and sustainable for a healthy lifestyle.According to Retang Phaahla, Nondumiso's daughter and operational director of the company, her grandmother’s sister would always grind leaves on a rock in the evening, and they were curious to find out what she was making.
She then brought a sample of the Tepane black bush tea for Retang in Gauteng. They drank it regularly at home, and Retang started to experiment with different recipes. The organisation started engaging with the community and found it had a tea of its own, the Diya Red Root tea. Now the company is 100% rural-based. It employs 20 permanent staff and 15 casual staff. This includes both the elderly people who founded the teas, and their children.
