Like Rooibos? Love Honeybush!

Rooibos (which means red bush in the Afrikan language) and honeybush are two different plants from the same family species, that are both native to South Africa and both used to make tea. Whilst rooibos may be the better known of the two, honeybush tea in Australia is becoming extremely popular amongst tea lovers also. The main differences between the two teas are found in their taste and colour - rooibos has a ruby-red colour and a nutty and fruity aroma, with a woody flavour and hints of caramel, whilst honeybush brews to a golden colour and smells like wild honey, with a flavour of natural sweetness and earthy undertones. If you like one, you're pretty much guaranteed to like the other!

Both teas are naturally caffeine free, but because they originated on different sides of the province - rooibos comes from Western Cape Province of South Africa whilst honeybush comes from the Eastern Cape Province - the antioxidants they contain differ from each other, and honeybush has higher levels of antioxidant than its cousin.

For those sourcing premium ingredients, working with reputable tea suppliers in Australia ensures you receive the finest teas that meet high-quality standards.

Reasons To Buy Honeybush Tea

As a tea-drinking nation, we love a good brew, but it is more a habit and a tasty beverage than a ritual or a tea ceremony, so we often don't realise just how much we benefit from drinking tea. There are so many different teas from around the world today that we want to try them all for their exotic flavours, but often forget they can be steeped in mystery and medicinal purpose.

The indigenous Khoisan people of South Africa have been preparing and drinking honeybush tea for centuries because of its wonderful taste and aroma, and its many medicinal uses. You can also find high-quality rooibos tea as a delicious alternative to explore more of South Africa's tea culture.

Honeybush contains a natural product known as pinitol which is an expectorant and very useful in treating coughs and phlegm. Pinitol has also been shown to lower blood sugar levels and is being considered as a drug for diabetes, so when you buy honeybush tea you may be reaping more benefits than you were aware of.

The flavones found in this tea can help reduce blood lipids and alleviate symptoms of menopause like hot flushes, and as a natural source of vitamin C and antioxidants, it helps support a healthy immune system. For those seeking variety, buy calendula tea online to enjoy additional herbal options packed with wellness benefits.

Drinking honeybush tea in Australia is also a popular remedy for digestive health such as alleviating the symptoms of heartburn, nausea and constipation, and thanks to its sweet flavour and lack of caffeine, it may be a good option for infants who suffer from colic pain. Incorporating options like organic loose leaf herbal tea can further enhance your tea collection and daily rituals.

Honeybush Tea in Australia, With Love from SA

That's SA as in South Africa, not South Australia. Honeybush is native to that country at the southern tip of the great continent across the Indian Ocean from us. With a history involving both the British and the Dutch, South Africa has words from both languages and this one is a lovely, evocative name that gives a general idea of the nature of this tea.

Does Honeybush Tea Really Taste of Honey?

It is not exactly honey-like but has a full, smooth flavour not unlike its relative, rooibos tea(which translates as red bush). South Africa may not be one of the places we think of when naming tea-growing countries, but perhaps it is time for a reappraisal. With rooibos being better known, it can be a useful point of reference for honeybush, as it tastes broadly similar. If you like rooibos, you will probably like honeybush tea too. This is not one of the striking, love-it-or-hate-it varieties. It's an all rounder that anyone can confidently serve to the family at breakfast time or to a social group when it's their turn to host.

Where Can I Buy Honeybush Tea?

We at Teavision stock Honeybush as part of our incredible range of teas from around the world. It is naturally caffeine-free, so you can happily drink as much as you like - and we are well aware that tea lovers may drink it all day. Honeybush tea is a comforting drink, with a gentle roasted aroma and a satisfying taste featuring a touch of natural sweetness. Drink it as it comes, with milk or maybe a slice of lemon. Some people love to use condensed or evaporated milk - that is popular in India, where they know a thing or two about tea and honeybush would lend itself perfectly to such a rich brew. After all, making tea is something of an art and everyone has their own way of doing it. Break out the ginger nuts and chocolate digestives and give honeybush a whirl.

How did Teavision Bring Honeybush Tea To Australia?

Tea is our passion, and our founders, Lucas and Belinda, have been doing this since 2014, scouring the world for new additions to the range. We supply speciality tea online to tearooms and pu erh tea retailers all over the country because we know there is an increasingly discerning public out there and it is good to stay one step ahead with something new and interesting for customers to sample. If you try a little honeybush and decide to add it to your range, we feel sure you will get a lot of positive comments.
