2023 Laager Rooibos Campaign

/in , /by

We’ve been with laager rooibos for about 7 years and we have grown exponentially, as business women, as a brand and as recipe developers and chefs.

For the past few years, this amazing tea brand has given us creative freedom when it comes to playing around with the teas and testing different recipes. We have developed and tested over 90 recipes and they’ve all been fantastic. We’ve been forced to think creatively and out of the box and we appreciate that freedom.
Throughout the years, we’ve become very health conscious and more focused on nutrition. So you’ll notice most of our recipes will be a bit healthier, with the occasional cheat day of course. And this is why we keep falling in love with the brand, it speaks to us in every phase our food journey.
This year’s campaign was fun and beautiful to shoot, we hope you enjoy the videos, recipes and well curated content.

“You have to belong somewhere, choose where you are valued and respected.” We are so grateful to the Laager Rooibos team for keeping us around.

Enjoy.

With love, The Twins.

THE PERFECT PARTNERSHIP

Durban, South Africa

Leading tea brand Laager Rooibos has announced its exclusive celebrity agreement with Lebo and Tebo Ndala from food blog withlovefromthetwins.

Born and bred in Pretoria, Lebo and Tebo are qualified chefs and food specialists who have appeared in television cooking shows and magazine features. They also write their own food blog withlovefromthetwins and are constantly creating innovative and flavourful recipe ideas and entertaining tips which they share with their followers at pop up events and on their digital and social channels.

When asked about their association with tea, Tebo states, “Growing up we always had tea in the house but we really started appreciating the flavours, aroma and brewing of tea when we were studying chefmanship in College.”

We all know that drinking tea is considered an art form and everyone has their own preference but for the twins it is simple as Lebo explains,  “As tea lovers, we don’t take sugar or milk with our tea, we like it as it is… Nothing beats the simple and refreshing taste of Rooibos. Tea in our household is always a moment to savour with a pot of Rooibos or black tea accompanied by home-made scones or pastries.”

 “We are really excited to have Lebo and Tebo on board as they perfectly embody Laager’s essence with their love for family and respect for time-honoured traditions. Lebo and Tebo are true South Africans who love Laager Rooibos as much as we do, and who have some amazing Rooibos recipes to share with our Laager fans. We are excited that their blog, Instagram, facebook and twitter following will heighten the visibility and awareness of Laager Rooibos in South Africa,” states Marketing Manager Candice Sessions.
