About the
Honeybush
Honeybush tea, an herbal tea crafted from the fermented leaves and stems of the honeybush plant (Cyclopia intermedia), is a unique South African delight. Its name derives from the sweet, honey-like aroma that fills the air when brewed. The leaves are carefully harvested, undergo a labour-intensive fermentation process akin to black tea production and are then dried to create the final product. The result is a distinctive, full-bodied flavour with hints of sweet honey, fruit and a touch of spice, making it a truly intriguing choice for tea enthusiasts.
Using Honeybush
To brew honeybush tea, use approximately 1 teaspoon of loose leaves or one tea bag per 230ml (8 oz) of fresh boiled water. Allow it to steep for 5-7 minutes before removing the leaves or tea bag. Enjoy honeybush tea plain or with your choice of milk and sweetener. These simple steps will ensure a delightful cup of honeybush tea.
