  • Kettle 212°F
  • Timer 5 Min

Honeybush is a caffeine-free plant from South African. It has a wonderfully sweet and slightly astringent flavor with undertones of honey. With the addition of citrus fruits it makes a great iced tea in the summer, or hot soothing brew in the winter. This herbal blend is best steeped at 212° at 1.5 tsp/cup for 5-7 minutes.

Extra Info:

Honeybush is native to the Cederberg District (the Eastern Cape) of South Africa. Dutch botanical records from the area make mention of Honeybush consumption as far back as the mid to late 1600's. The first mention of the consumption of Honeybush as a caffeine free tea substitute outside of South Africa however appeared almost 200 years later.

A pharmacological handbook published in the US in 1898 entitled "King's American Dispensary of 1898," makes mention, under the heading "Tea," of Honeybush as an acceptable tea substitute manufactured in the Cape Colony of South Africa.

Ingredients:

Honeybush, lemongrass, myrtle, rose hips, eucalyptus, hibiscus, safflowers, marigolds & orange flavoring

Origin:

South Africa

The summery flavor made me think that I would prefer this as an iced tea, but it surprised me in becoming my favorite sore-throat cure. I know it doesn't actually have lemons in it, but I was out of lemons, so I added some honey to a warm mug of this, and it provided immediate relief to the sore throat I had been fighting for the last few days. I know they're not selling this one as medicinal, but it works for me, besides being delicious. Adding honey for the sore throat admittedly makes this taste uncannily like fruit loops, but without the honey it is the perfect blend of summery flavors. If you prefer the floral undertones, those come out more when you drink it iced, but if you're a fan of the fruitier flavors, I would recommend it hot.
