South Africa’s rooibos tea has earned millions of fans around the world over recent decades. The unique, flavorful and healthy caffeine-free tea produced from the indigenous plant that grows only in the Cedarberg area of the Western Cape, 250km north of Cape Town, is about to face some serious competition from honeybush, another unique, indigenous South African plant with very similar properties.
Honeybush is a natural plant growing in the micro climate of the Fynbos region in the southwestern district of the western cape of South Africa. It is unique to this area. It grows wild, so all honeybush sold commercially is essentially organic and natural, even if it does not always have appropriate certification to indicate this fact.
