The offices, tea estates and tea processing factory are all based in the Thulamela Municipality of the Vhembe District, bringing much-needed job opportunities and development to South Africa’s Limpopo province. Midi Black Tea is farmed and selectively hand-picked from the two estates. It is then processed, blended and packaged in the world-class Mukumbani Tea processing factory. This has been extensively refurbished since June 2007, with new packing lines and processing equipment having been installed. This modernisation is in line with our vision to produce and market world-quality, proudly South African Midi Tea, while building and sustaining rural economy through this developmental crop. Rural development is vital to us – which is why we take our responsibilities beyond providing employment to the local community into the area of social upliftment. To this end we: Provide training and financial support for education development of our staff Provide resource conservation works to the community Provide seedlings to the community for tea garden expansion Provide road maintenance for schools, clinics and churches financial support
