Herbal Tea: Honeybush

Red Honeybush Leaf in a Circle
(red) Honeybush
from Rishi Tea
Honeybush is a type of tea produced in South Africa. It is made out of a number of different species in the Cyclopia genus, which are all legumes.

Some types of honeybush are gathered in the wild, whereas others are cultivated.

Honeybush is similar to (and often confused with) rooibos, another tea from South Africa that is also made from a legume. Like rooibos, honeybush is traditionally produced through an oxidation process much like black tea, but green honeybush, pictured on the left, has recently started being produced, using processes similar to those used to produce green tea.

Oxidized honeybush is traditionally processed through bruising of the leaves followed by sun-drying, but some industrial processes now use heated tanks and air-drying.
