Description

Honeybush is a sibling of Rooibos, cultivated in South Africa's Eastern Cape region. Its flowers smell of honey, earning this plant a sweet name. The taste of our organic honeybush tea is similar to that of Rooibos, though arguably a little sweeter. Like it's South African sibling, Honeybush is devoid of caffeine and tannins, rendering it an ideal evening beverage.

Story

Just like it's 'sister' tea, the Honeybush plant grows only near the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. Just like a good sister, it shares many similarities with rooibos, but its flavor is sweeter. The plant is named appropriately, as the flowers exude a sweet, honey-like scent.

"Honeybush was very good and mild. Not a strong flavor at all. I put honey and lemon in and it was great for late night relaxation."

"Thought i would like this, because I absolutely adore the rooibos teas. However I found this tea to be unpleasant."

"Honeybush tastes like Rooibos but a tad richer and heavy on the mouth and vaguely sweeter than Rooibos. It brews to a dark red."

"It has a woody and earthy taste. I like such kind of tea. Maybe it's not for everyone.Rooibos for me is smoother."

"Lovely sweet musty aroma, reminiscent of bruised cedar bark, with a smooth mouth feel and not sweet. A tea both my husband and I can agree on (and caffeine free to boot). "
