About Honeybush:

Honeybush (Cyclopia Intermedia) grows only in a small area in the southwestern region of South Africa. The Honeybush plant is easily recognized by its trifoliate leaves, single-flowered inflorescence and sweetly scented, bright yellow flowers. Honeybush shares many similarities with Rooibos. The leaves are harvested, bruised, and left in the sun to oxidize. The resulting product is then boiled or steeped like tea to make an infusion that is enjoyed both hot and cold. Honeybush is caffeine-free.

Ingredients: 100% Organic Honeybush Leaves.

Flavor Profile:

Bright, red-gold infusion with a sweet taste and aroma reminiscent of dark berries and wildflowers.
