Born in Cape Town.
Brewed with soul.

Grant Rushmere, a Cape Town entrepreneur, had one question that wouldn't go away. That question took him to a farmer named Richard Bowsher in the Cederberg, and to 6,000 hectares of organic rooibos. In June 2010, BOS was born.

Go BOS means to have crazy good fun - and BOS is short for rooibos, South Africa's legendary red tea. The name says everything.

Meet rooibos. The plant behind every can.

Rooibos is a wild South African shrub that's been brewed for generations. Sun-dried, hand-harvested and naturally vibrant - it's the heart of every can of BOS.

The only place on Earth rooibos grows.

Every can of BOS comes from one farm. The Bowsher family began farming rooibos at Klipopmekaar in 2007 and went organic the year after. Today the soil stores more carbon than the entire operation emits - making it the only certified carbon neutral rooibos farm in existence.

  • 6,000 hectares
  • Organic since 2008
  • Carbon neutral
  • Rainforest Alliance

We farm it like the planet's watching.
