Honey Bush Tea

This exquisite tea from the Cyclopia plant of the coastal regions of the Cape Provinces of South-Africa is smooth, sweet, and fruity. It’s closely related to rooibos, as both plants belong to the Fabaceae family.
Naturally caffeine free and very low in tannins, this fragrant tea is great for all ages. It is also high in antioxidants, vitamin C, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
In South Africa, honeybush tea has been traditionally used to treat coughs and symptoms of menopause, as well as aid digestion.
Honeybush tea can be enjoyed warm as part of a nighttime routine, or poured onto an ice-filled glass for a delicious honey like tasting iced tea.
The antioxidants in honeybush tea grant it a wide range of health benefits, including improved bone and skin health, as well as immune boosting and anti-inflammatory.

Health Benefits of Honeybush Tea
Honeybush tea is a remarkable herbal beverage with a variety of health benefits. Before integrating it into your wellness routine, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a Naturopathic Doctor (ND), for personalized advice. The information provided here offers a general overview and is not intended as a substitute for professional health guidance.

Key Health Benefits:

1. Soothes and Calms the Central Nervous System: Honeybush tea is known for its relaxing properties, making it an excellent choice for reducing stress and promoting a sense of calm.
2. Eases Constipation: The gentle laxative effects of honeybush can help relieve constipation and promote regular bowel movements.
3. Topical Applications for Skin Irritations: When applied topically, honeybush tea can soothe skin irritations, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
4. Rich in Antioxidants: Honeybush tea is packed with antioxidants, which help protect the body from free radical damage, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
5. Immune System Support: The tea contains polyphenols, powerful compounds that boost the immune system, helping the body defend against infections and illnesses.
6. Mineral-Rich: Honeybush is an excellent source of essential minerals, including iron, potassium, calcium, copper, zinc, magnesium, manganese, and sodium, all of which play crucial roles in maintaining overall health.
7. Enhanced Antioxidant Activity: For those seeking an even greater antioxidant boost, brewing or boiling honeybush tea for longer than 10 minutes significantly increases its antioxidant activity.
8. Potential Cancer-Fighting Properties: Emerging research suggests that honeybush (Cyclopia intermedia) may have cancer-fighting properties. A study conducted by Marnewick et al. (2005) indicated that honeybush showed promise in inhibiting tumor development in skin cancer, highlighting its potential as a complementary therapy.

In addition to its health benefits, honeybush tea is naturally caffeine-free, making it a perfect choice for those looking to reduce their caffeine intake while still enjoying a flavorful and beneficial beverage. Its mildly sweet and floral flavor also makes it an enjoyable drink for any time of the day.

Hibiscus: A Myth of Sweetness

The bright, vibrant hibiscus blossom is recognized in many parts of the world as much for its gorgeous petal displays and cultural significance as for the splendidly sweet and tangy taste of the herbal tea it produces. In Hawaii, for instance, a woman who wears the hibiscus flower behind her left ear is indicating that she would like to take a lover, while one who wears it behind her right has already been claimed. One who wears it behind both, however, may present a bit of a quandary to the potential man, or else a laid-back dream come true: she already has one lover, but wouldn’t mind another.

The Loves and Losses of Lady Sita

Today chais are well-loved even by coffee drinkers, and most of the recipes mirror the ancient South Asian tradition of boiling milk and water with tea, spices, and sometimes sweeteners. Our Sita Chai can be made the same way, if you like, though it is good on it’s own as well. Either way, it is best drunk with a story, so sit back, relax, and rest your mind in the tales of Ancient India.

If you’ve ever wandered into a popular coffee shop on a rainy afternoon, you’re sure to have heard someone ordering and some barista announcing the preparation of a caramel latte. These relatively simple drinks have become one of the mainstays of popular culture, yet the massive pilings of milk and sugar offer relatively little in the way of health benefits. What is so attractive about them, then? Quite simply: flavor.
