Stars
I picked up this tea
because I love tea & am always looking to try new teas & expand my
variety. This is the first time I’m trying the Honeybush tea. I had hear about
it from a couple people & had been wanting to try it. I also have past experience
with “wild foods” as I recently had the opportunity to try their “Kosher Flake
Sea Salt” which is amazing so I knew what to expect in quality. I can honestly
say that it was faith well placed because this is yet another amazing product
from them. The aroma when you open the bag is so wonderfully sweet & fresh
smelling & that’s just the smell!!! As far as taste is concerned, this tea
is wonderfully sweet & smooth, enough so that I did not need any honey. Let
me tell you though, a little raw honey really brings all the flavors in this
tea to a whole different level of yummy. This tea is also an excellent choice
for Iced tea, once chilled it is very refreshing.
Hot tea brewing
method: Heat water to 212°F. Place 1 heaping teaspoon per 6 ounce cup and let

Iced tea brewing

the tea steep for 5 - 7 minutes. Remove tea leaves and add ice
Pros:
Honeybush tea is a
beverage derived from plants in the Cyclopia family and is a cousin of Rooibos,
cultivated in South Africa's Eastern Cape region, and is regarded for its
potential impact on health. The beverage is sweet tasting and has a history of
use as a folk remedy, with recent scientific evidence supporting some the tea's
purported effects. Regular consumption of the tea is associated with several
long-term and short-term health benefits, making it an excellent alternative
tea choice.
Honeybush tea has
phytoestrogenic properties, making it behave like estrogen in the body,
according to a 2006 study by researchers at the University of Stellenbosch.
Phytoestrogenic activity, combined with anecdotal evidence, suggests that
honeybush tea is effective in relieving menopausal symptoms in women. The
phytoestrogenic attributes of the tea may also be useful in protecting the body
against osteoporosis, heart disease and certain hormone-related cancers.
Cons: .
As always please be
sure to consult with a physician prior to adding any herbs or teas to your diet
if you are pregnant or on medications.
If you like Rooibos (also known as Red Bush) tea, you will probably love this one. If you haven’t
tried Honeybush (or red bush for that
matter) I suggest you give it a try, you wont be disappointed.
