Origin of Honeybush Tea

Honeybush is a naturally caffeine-free plant indigenous to South Africa’s coastal and mountainous regions, where it has been traditionally brewed for centuries.

Closely related to rooibos, natural honeybush gets its name from the plant’s sweet-smelling yellow flowers and its gentle honeyed flavour. Once harvested, the leaves are fermented to deepen the colour and enhance the taste.

This tea is certified by the Soil Association UK, ensuring every cup supports sustainable, pesticide-free farming and natural cultivation methods.
