Herbal teas are increasing in popularity as people desire healthy, caffeine-free beverages with great flavor. Honeybush is a unique herbal tea growing in favor with consumers.

Delicate and fragrant with a small but dedicated following, Honeybush tea is an herb prepared from the flowers and leaves of the cyclopia species plants, which grow only in the mountain regions of South Africa. But make sure not be confused. The drink is different than Rooibos, also called Red Tea, which is an herbal beverage also grown in South Africa.

For centuries, native Africans harvested and drank Honeybush tea. Naturally caffeine-free and low in tannin, it is believed to have such health benefits as relieving sleeplessness and indigestion. It also acts as an expectorant and an antioxidant, possesses antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties, and heals minor skin ailments.

More than 23 species of the plant exist, which date back to Dutch and British traders in Africa in the 1700s. The plant was first noted by botanists in 1705.

An organic, pure and natural Honeybush tea is produced by Intaba of South Africa, a premium producer. Intaba only recently became available to consumers in the USA. Produced in South Africa, Intaba Teas are mountain grown and supported by a unique microclimate that offers the highest-quality and natural products. Intaba uses only an organic variety of Honeybush, which makes the finest tea. Intaba Honeybush also builds on the company commitment to social responsibility. All Intaba Honeybush is sourced directly from a job creation project at a farming community in South Africa.
