Honeybush Chai
Honeybush tea is a red "tea" similar to rooibos that we source directly from regenerative farms in South Africa. The name comes from its distinct honey notes! Combined with our favorite chai spices, this makes a soothing cup of caffeine-free chai. Honeybush tea was used by the Khoisan people of Southern Africa, and was then first traded on an international scale in the early 1700's via the Dutch. Honeybush is a native plant of South Africa and has been used medicinally and as a beverage for centuries. As a naturally caffeine-free tea that is low in tannins, it's also high in polyphenols and creates an alluring honeyed aroma when brewed. 1.5oz Bag
