| Intrinsic Properties |
| |
|
Melmont Mountain Honeybush is a completely natural certified organic beverage i.e. it contains no contaminants, colourants, preservatives, other additives or chemical residues.
On the contrary, it exudes a unique fragrance and brews to a golden ruby colour.
|
| Harvesting and Processing |
| |
|
With care, Mountain Honeybush regenerates within three years after harvesting. In consequence, less than one third of the mountain yield is available for harvesting each year by rotation.
A team of trained workers ascends the mountain once a week from spring to autumn (weather permitting) and systematically cuts earmarked Honeybush shoots. Dry weather is a prerequisite.
