About Honeybush & Green Honeybush
Between the great mountain ranges separating the edge of the Karoo from the southern shores of Africa, there is a narrow coastal plain stretching some 250km – this territory is the home of the Honeybush plant. Like Rooibos, Honeybush has an array of health-promoting properties perfectly suited to counteract the negative impact of today’s stressful environment. It also has a delightfully distinctive taste, with prominent notes of wildflowers as well as subtle undertones of fruit and sweet spices and a lingering taste of honey.
