Khoisan Tea (Pty) Ltd to become Khoisan Gourmet (Pty) Ltd in 2018

New majority shareholder contributes corporate expertise

New majority shareholder Libstar is joining our Khoisan team. Libstar, established in 2005, is an investment holding company operating in the fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry. Headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, Libstar has annualised net revenues in excess of R7bn (ZAR/South African Rand). 

The group consists of several successful, established companies in South Africa, with Khoisan Tea being its latest addition.

“What this means,” says Peter Schülke, CEO of Khoisan Tea, “is more possibilities for existing and new clients of ours to expand not only their Rooibos, Honeybush and Bourbon Vanilla capacities but to consider our additional gourmet ranges. We are moving towards providing more organic gourmet ingredients for the international retail market.” 

10 winning reasons to choose us

Khoisan Gourmet will

• continue to grow, harvest and export our organic Rooibos, as we have reliably done since 1997

• continue to supply organic Bourbon Vanilla from Madagascar

• make use of Libstar’s vast experience in the FMCG market

• offer organic and non-GMO food products across a wider spectrum

We look forward to our transition from Khoisan Tea to Khoisan Gourmet!
