Also known as bergtee, or mountain tea, this tea is closely related to Rooibos as both plants are from the Fabaceae family. This herbal infusion from South Africa is made by steeping dry honeybush leaves in boiling water. It is naturally both honey-sweet and caffeine free and and has gained worldwide popularity for its smooth, mellow cup.

Good tea. I'm a long-time tea drinker and the quality here is evident. The Honeybush has a pleasant caffeine-free note. Sometimes a bit mild for my personal preference but still very good.

Really, really good tea. The Honeybush has a refined sweet character that you don't find in supermarket teas. The leaves are whole and intact — you can see the quality.

It's a perfectly fine Honeybush. The caffeine-free character is there but I wish the mild was more pronounced. I tend to prefer a bolder cup. Still, fresh leaves and fair pricing.

Nice everyday tea. The honey is pleasant and it brews consistently well. I go through a bag every few weeks. Good quality for the price point.

Really nice Honeybush. The smooth flavor is authentic and well-balanced. I usually drink Harney & Sons tea but this compares favorably. Will definitely reorder.
