Rooibos is produced from the Aspalathus Linearis shrub, also known as as “red bush”.

The plant is native to the Cederberg Mountains of South Africa. Once plucked and collected, the leaves are processed into a tisane. The result is a rich warm red colouring of the harvest both in the branches and in the steep.

An amazing world class shopping experience right here on Vancouver Island!
victoria is a delightful surprise for Victoria residents + visitors, providing an immersive, high-end grocery experience unlike any other.

Sabayons is operated by the owners of the incredibly popular and eclectic Market Garden boutique grocer, located in Vic West. Inside the downtown location, you will find a combination of imported foods and hard-to-find culinary items, alongside curated rooms designed to replace traditional grocery aisles with hand crafted, imaginative displays and an intentionally meandering layout. Whether it is carefully curated imports or local delicacies, you will surely find everything you didn't know you were looking for and more at Sabayons!

The name Sabayons is a nod to Victoria’s retail history, combining references to the former Saba building, the Bay and Eaton’s, which once occupied the site.

More than simply a grounding start to your day ...

Though more studies are needed, this antioxidant rich herbal tisane has been proven to help reduce inflammation, support the immune system, and protect cells from damage.

The 3 specific antioxidants in Rooibos that may support your health + wellness are:

Aspalathin: Unique to rooibos, this antioxidant and polyphenol helps neutralize harmful free radicals and has strong anti-inflammatory effects, contributing to pain reduction in inflammatory conditions.

Nothofagin: Another dihydrochalcone (a class of minor flavonoids) with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may help manage inflammatory and pain conditions.

Quercetin: a plant compound called a flavonoid, Its antioxidant properties may help reduce inflammation and support heart and brain health.

Because Rooibos is rich in antioxidants, low in tannins, and caffeine-free, it is a perfect choice as an everyday tisane to be enjoyed morning, noon, or night.

From crafting West Coast fusion-inspired dishes to taking on construction projects or solving the inevitable chaos of restaurant life, Gill is always ready to roll up her sleeves. Her dishes reflect her world: hearty, fresh, and full of Bamfield’s coastal allure.

Feeling the summer rush slowing as we near the end of August. A well-timed cup of tea can help restore your rhythm.

Roasted Green, Oolong, and White teas are ideal for this moment—refreshing, gently uplifting, and less intense perhaps, than your morning brew. We gravitate towards these Westholme Teas for end of summer restoration::

~ Houjicha Limited Harvest
~ Quanzhou Milk Oolong
~ White Peony

Steeping tip: keep your water temperature lower (around 75-85°C) to preserve delicate flavours and avoid astringency.

A simple ritual to pause, reset, and carry on in your day with intention and connection.

Today we are steeping our Milk Oolong, Ti Kuan Yin Super, a premium tightly rolled, ball shaped green leaf offering a bright, floral aroma, smooth body and sweet linger.

We used 2 grams of loose leaf tea with water just off the boil and timed for two minutes. This tea is particularly delicious re-steeped multiple times as well.

A lovely honeyed iced tea. Inspired by generations of homemade summer sweet tea recipes of the Southern States, but with all the health benefits of raw honey.

:: Ingredients ::
1/4 cup of Westholme Black Raven Tea
6 cups of filtered water
1/4 cup of raw honey

Black Raven is our featured Tea of the Month which means it is 10% off until the end of August. This tea is a blend of premium pekoe teas, bringing together teas from two of the largest growing regions in the world: India and China. The strength and malt of the assamica tea varietal from the Assam District along with with the floral and cocoa complexity of the sinensis varietal from the birthplace of tea make for a robust and smooth steep that blends beautifully with the natural sweetness of honey.

:: Instructions ::
Combine loose tea leaves and water in a pot. Heat to below boiling (~90°C) then remove from heat to let cool. Stir in the honey once the temperature has dropped below 60°C. This preserves the beneficial qualities of the honey which are destroyed at higher temperatures. Strain the tea leaves. Refrigerate and serve chilled. Enjoy!

We used our local Hardie Honey (which you can pick up in our Teashop) although any good quality, unpasteurized honey will do.

(Optional Ideas)
You can add milk (or milk alternative of your choice) for an iced latte.
Make ice cubes from steeped tea to preserve the strength of your chilled cup!
