From the deserts of Mexico to the rugged plains of the Karoo, the story of mesquite is one of transformation and resilience. In the small town of Prieska, along the banks of the mighty Orange River, thousands of wild mesquite trees thrive. What was once seen as an invasive challenge has become a remarkable opportunity for renewal.
The deep-yellow seed pods of the mesquite tree are gathered by a dedicated and socially connected network of harvesters. These pods are dried, baked and carefully roasted to unlock their natural essence. The resulting infusion carries bold notes of roasted coffee, gentle sweetness and a touch of vanilla - a flavour that satisfies both coffee lovers and herbal tea drinkers alike.
Mesquite is caffeine free, yet it offers the full-bodied warmth and depth often associated with coffee. A proud product of the South African land, it represents the brilliance of the Cape through a humble but powerful brew.
Serving suggestion:
We recommend brewing herbal infusion with water at around 100 degrees Celsius. Steep the herbs for approximately 3 minutes, then taste to see if the strength suits your preference. If you desire a stronger brew, you may steep it for another minute or two. Use a teapot with an infuser for best results. If a teapot is not available, an infuser ball, infuser cup, or a fine mesh strainer will also work well. For each serving, use about 3 to 4 grams of herbs, or roughly one teaspoon. This infusion may be steeped a second time; simply extend the brewing time to draw out the remaining flavour.
