What is Honeybush

Cyclopia, better known by the common name Honeybush, is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae, of the subfamily Faboideae. Honeybush is so named because the flowers smell of honey. The taste of honeybush tea is similar to that of rooibos but a little sweeter. Both are much more fragrant than any true tea prepared from Camellia species, or even other tisanes. In some rural districts it used to be common practice to keep a kettle of honeybush tea infusing on the stove ready for drinking while scenting the whole house — unlike tea prepared from Camellia sinensis, the product does not rapidly spoil as it simmers.

Cloves are used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine, Chinese medicine, and western herbalism and dentistry where the essential oil is used as an anodyne (painkiller) for dental emergencies.

7 reviews for Organic Honeybush Chai

  1. Kelly N.

    Love, love LOVE this chai. I am so happy that it tastes just like regular chai when the black tea is substituted with honeybush. Now, I can have a caffeine-free chai that is just as enjoyable. In addition, It has the right amount of kick with the black pepper. Add some milk, sheer perfection!

  2. Jonathan T.

    The balance of spices is perfect in this chai. The experience is like hugging a good friend you haven’t seen in a long time. Warm, kind, and refreshing. The honey bush makes this Chai great when sweetened with actual honey or brown sugar.

  3. Sandra

    I’ve tasted this tea for the first time today and I can already tell it will become a family favotite. I was feeling a little sick today and I could really feel it helping my sore throat.

  4. Gayle K

    Definitely my favorite Chai. It is so hard to find good caffeine free teas, but this one is a winner in my book.

  5. Tammy

    I ordered this for my mom who loves chai teas and she was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was.

  6. Lori

    I really enjoyed this tea. It has a very exotic taste which I love.. You can taste many different flavors with each sip. Stronger than your average tea. This Tea is now added to my list of favorites.

    Favorite chai! Drink this almost nightly in the fall/winter. Is complimented nicely with an almond/coconut milk creamer.
