HoneyBush (Organic)

5 stars, based on 3 reviews

It is used to make a beverage and a medicinal tea, having a pleasant, mildly sweet taste and aroma, somewhat like honey. It has become internationally known as a substitute for ordinary tea (Camellia sinensis). With the dramatic growth in the use of honeybush during the past five years, export of honeybush tea products is now a major industry, following up on the success of another tea substitute from South Africa-rooibos. 
Refreshing and cleansing with hints of honey and finish reminiscent of light Madagascar pepper. Consumption with milk and sugar is often recommended.
