Honeybush Tea

Honeybush or ‘Heuningbos’ in Afrikaans, is commonly used to make an infusion in the same manner as tea. It grows only in a small area in the southwest of South Africa in the Langkloof area of the Eastern Cape and shares many similarities with rooibos. Honeybush is so named because the flowers smell of honey. The taste of honeybush tea is similar to that of rooibos but a little sweeter.

"This really is carrot cake in a cup and a dessert tea that will truly make you feel satisfied just like you have had a great dessert. Carrot Cake tea is absolutely the best dessert tea to cross my lips to date."

Local Coffee + Tea Chocolate Honeybush

7.5/10  —  4 reviews
Teaviews Member: Laura Laura's review:
"Once the cup cooled a bit, I was greeted by a pleasant cup that is dominated by the honeybush flavor itself. There is a slight chocolate undertone to this that kind of flirts with your tastebuds prompting you to keep drinking it. "

Teaviews Member: Lynn Lynn's review:
"I did what I seldom do: I added a teaspoonful of raw sugar. It was, of course, sweeter, and the honey and caramel flavors far more pronounced and to a great degree, more satisfying. It took on a creamier, thicker feel, and I did feel like I was drinking caramel and honey, with a touch of chocolate. I think I'm just going to have to finally accept that some teas and tisanes need sugar."

Teaviews Member: Vanessa Vanessa's review:
"The tea is smooth and just the slightest bit creamy, with a wonderfully sweet and nutty aftertaste. I have not had many flavored honeybush teas, but this one is without doubt the tastiest one that I have sampled so far."

Teaviews Member: Numi Numi's review:
"The light body is overpowered by the strong spices and, since I'm thinking about apple cider, I can't help but wish there were more substance or complexity to the spices to add depth."

Teaviews Member: Vanessa Vanessa's review:
"While the spicy flavors come through and are most definitely reminiscent of pumpkin pie flavors, I found a notable absence of actual pumpkin flavor here, despite the addition of pumpkin pieces and pumpkin seeds to the mix."

"All the flavours meld together perfectly without any single one unnecessarily standing out from the rest, and they all stay long into the aftertaste. This tea is, in a word, delightful."

Teaviews Member: Jamie Jamie's review:
"This tea, to my taste, is just over the edge of a flavorful balance. It is a little too intensely, almost artificially strong and sweet both in the nose and on the taste buds, though I should be clear that there are no artificial ingredients whatsoever in this tea blend."

"The flavor profile is actually quite good and I think that the lemon flavors marry particularly well with honey bush---possibly even better than with rooibos."
