Honeybush

Part of our Tea Total, single origin tea collection.

Honeybush is a very close relative to the more popular rooibos, which is also cultivated in South Africa's Eastern Cape region. Its flowers smell of honey, earning this plant its sweet name. A naturally sweet caffeine-free infusion, high in antioxidants and minerals (full of iron, potassium, calcium) helping prevent anemia and balancing water in the body.

 

Tasting notes

Similar to Rooibos, full bodied with no tannins, just a little sweeter
