Five Roses tea

Five Roses is a legendary South African tea brand that has been a household staple since its inception in the early 20th century. Known for its 'Ceylon blend,' the brand has maintained a dominant position in the South African tea market through its commitment to quality and a flavor profile that resonates with local consumers. The tea leaves are sourced from premium estates in Sri Lanka and other regions, then blended and packaged primarily in South Africa.

Over its long history, the brand transitioned from its original founders through various corporate acquisitions. It is currently owned by AVI Limited (formerly Anglo-Vaal Industries), a major South African consumer goods company. AVI manages the brand under its Entyce Beverages division, ensuring that Five Roses remains a signature product of South African heritage while operating under a sophisticated modern corporate structure.
