Honeybush tea (Cyclopia Intermedia) is probably the most under rated, and least known health beverage. It is harvested from the wild in the mountainous regions of South Africa. The plant is harvested, according to tradition, during the flowering period in the months of September and October. The bushes are easily recognized by the masses of deep yellow flowers that emit a sweet honey aroma, hence the name. Honeybush tea is an herbal infusion that is low in tannin and contains no caffeine. Each cup contains healthy anti-oxidants, along with minerals such as: Calcium, Copper, Iron, Potassium, Magnesium, Manganese and Zinc. This herb is said to have positive effects in preventing breast, prostate, and uterine cancer; reducing the risk of osteoporosis; having anti-fungal and anti-viral properties; lowering cholesterol levels, and much more. Most important of all, Honeybush is a pleasant tasting beverage that can be consumed every day.
