Honeybush uses oxidized stems and leaves, which taste honey-sweet, with floral notes and a slight roasted quality. Rich and hearty, with a velvety mouthfeel. When you brew this red tea, the wonderful the pervasive aroma makes your house smell like honey.

A delicious relative of the Rooibos family, Honeybush is sourced from Eastern Cape region of South Africa. The name derives partly from the sweetly rich scent of the honeybush flower. While it shares the same health benefits as rooibos (including high antioxidant levels), the flavor is sweeter, spicier, and more robust. Honeybush lovers say it helps with blood sugar, colds, and more.

Honeybush is a caffeine-free botanical—not a true tea—endemic to South Africa.

For a sweet, aromatic beverage any time of day or night, drink honeybush!

Natalie W. ★★★★★

I was skeptical a tea could taste this rich without any additives, but the velvety mouthfeel and that roasted, honeyed depth are exactly as described. A proper steep gives it a hearty warmth that’s perfect for a slow afternoon, and the floral note lingers just long enough.

Miles S. ★★★★★

The honey-sweet aroma hits you the second the hot water hits the leaves, and that roasted note makes it feel way cozier than your average tea. Velvety is the right word for the mouthfeel—it's smooth and hearty without any bitterness, even after I let it steep a few extra minutes.

Harper N. ★★★★☆

This is my evening mug now—the roasted note is what does it for me, it’s rich without being heavy. The velvety feel is real, smoother than I expected for a tea this hearty. Just wish the sweetness carried a bit longer after the last sip.
