“Tea is the elixir of life.” – Lao Tzu
Second only to water, tea is the most consumed beverage throughout the world. Chinese legend states that in 2737 B.C., the Chinese Emporer Shen-Nung “accidentally” discovered the leaves of a wild tea bush that had blown into a pot of boiling water, a common method of purification even then. Pleased by the rich amber coloring and the pleasant aroma, he sipped the warm liquid and found the steeped leaves to be deeply refreshing. Since then, the taking of tea has become ceremonial and teas, found to be rich in medicinal properties, have been enjoyed the world over.

A Little Science, A Little History:
Native to the South African Coast, the honeybush shrub (Cyclopia intermedia) is closely related to the rooibos plant. It gets its name from the beautiful, honey-scented flowers that cover the shrub in spring. Researchers are continuously exploring its connection to health and wellbeing. Honeybush contains flavones, isoflavones, luteolin, pinitol, polyphenols, and xanthones — all powerful antioxidants believed to support cellular health and natural immunity. The earliest record of honeybush taken as a beverage is 1705 when botanists began cataloguing the rich flora of the Cape of South Africa. Recently, researchers have taken an interest in studying its many bioactive properties and its potential applications for the prevention of certain cancers, alleviation of menopausal symptoms and lowering of blood glucose.
