Tea total

Honeybush is a cousin of rooibos, and therefore not technically a true tea. Like rooibos, it is cultivated in South Africa’s Eastern Cape and Western Cape provinces. Honeybush has a similar flavour, but is slightly sweeter, and is also caffeine-free. Its name derives from the flowers of the bush, which smell of honey. Sweetening the tea with honey adds a further depth of flavour, and eating a slice of this lovely orange and rosemary cake with it makes it even better.
