Honeybush Tea
Fragrant, deep, floral, alluring and mystifying. These are some of the first thoughts that cross our mind when exposed to a sample tasting of Honeybush Tea.
Honeybush (Cyclopia intermedia) is a native shrub to the Cape of South Africa. This plant was first documented is the 1700's and since then it has kept a pretty low profile and its use was previously isolated to the natives of the region. Recently documentation and study of the plant have brought it within radar of the international community and once one samples a sipping, their taste for this delicate brew almost becomes insatiable. Now large-scale organic crops have replaced wild gathered Honeybush to help curb the exponential demand for this fabulous beverage, this is great news for the local habitat that might have been ravaged to supply such a demand.
Honeybush is a fermented tea with a smooth taste and lacking the typical bite found in most green and black teas. This is because it contains virtually no tannin. This lovely beverage is what some have described as "super fruity", exceptionally sweet, and it brews to a deep dark amber color. The versatility of this tea covers every audience from the sweet tooth of small children, to the passionate evening drinker, and it covers the sensitivities of the elderly. Some of the benefits include that it is caffeine free, high in Vitamin C, potassium, calcium and magnesium. It is
an invaluable resource for anti-oxidants, rare trace minerals, and containing isoflavones, and Coumestans. The benefits are numerous indeed and this has become a staple tea for many people...Including all of us at Mountain Rose Herbs!
