There are two methods of processing honeybush for use in tea.

The leaves of honeybush are commonly used to make herbal teas.

Some of the active compounds present in honeybush include:

Consumers didn't know what honeybush was (it's an African shrub), and the social impact alone wasn't enough to overcome the unusual taste.

This wonderfully aromatic tea is prepared from the 100% organically grown honeybush plant.

The taste of honeybush tea is similar to that of rooibos but a little sweeter.

For the decaffeinated set, there’s Rooibos Honeybush, with its hard-cider-like qualities.

Relates mostly to coastal honeybush Cyclopia genistoides.

Cyclopia galioides (Peninsula honeybush)

Cyclopia latifolia (broad-leaf honeybush)

There are dozens of species of honeybush tea found in the wild, of which mainly 4 or 5 are in widespread home or commercial use.

The company offers tea types including green, black, white, oolong, pu-erh, and herbal teas such as Honeybush and Rooibos.

Meanwhile the similarly ambitious drinks list includes such inventive creations as honeybush iced tea with sea buckthorn, mint, mullein flowers and agave syrup.

One collaborative study showed that aqueous hot water honeybush extract, when administered orally to type-2 diabetes rat models, promoted normoglycemia and improved other type-2 diabetes associated problems.

The aim of this project was to develop a rhizobial inoculant for use by small-scale farmers to sustainably and cheaply increase the quality and quantity of honeybush yields.

Also, many uses were very local, and there was a good deal of confusion between different species, even sometimes with similar genera, such as Cyclopia, some species of which yield honeybush tea.

One inoculant performed particularly well and can be used by small-scale farmers to sustainably and cheaply improve their honeybush yields, increase their incomes and uplift their livelihoods.

Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) and honeybush (Cyclopia intermedia) are of economic importance, grown and harvested in large quantities in the Cederberg area, and providing important exports.

Antioxidant activity of honeybush tea (Cyclopia spp): Superoxide radical scavenger ability.Evaluation of the pro-oxidant and antioxidant activities of rooibos tea (Aspalathus linearis).

Cyclopia, better known by the common name Honeybush, or Heuningbos in Afrikaans, is a genus of some 20 species of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae, of the subfamily Faboideae.

One example, from 2002, was called Haarlem Honeybush: a bottled, unsweetened, no-caffeine variety of tea, made with ingredients from a South African farm that had backing from the United States Agency for International Development.

A solution to this problem has come in the form of a cash crop known as honeybush (Cyclopia spp.), which is endemic to the region and is able to grow on poor soils without the application of chemical fertilizers.

In some rural districts it used to be common practice to keep a kettle of honeybush tea infusing on the stove ready for drinking while scenting the whole house - unlike tea prepared from Camellia sinensis, the product does not turn bitter with long-term simmering.

Among the native Sitka spruce, western hemlock and wildflowers, the garden is a unique experimental outdoor laboratory, featuring a great many exotic species such as South African honeybush, New Zealand and Tasmanian tree ferns, Chinese fig hazel, Australian Grevillia, and Chilean flame and lantern trees.

I hated the thought of a paralyzed body caught in the honey bushes outside my habitat.
