About the Tea

The Honeybush shrub owes its name to its characteristic appearance. The blossoms are bright yellow with a scent of honey, whereas the leaves are somewhat rougher than those of Rooibos. The South Africans also call it “vegetable bush”, due to its pod-shaped fruits and knobbly roots. The wild growing plants thrive exclusively on small mountain ranges in the Longkloof District. The infusion tastes pleasantly sweet and aromatic.
