Rooibos


Although rooibos (Afrikaans for "red bush") was first reported in 1772 by botanist Carl Thunberg, the Khoisan people of the area had been using it for a long time and were aware of its medicinal value. The Dutch settlers to the Cape adopted rooibos as an alternative to black tea, an expensive commodity for the settlers who relied on supply ships from Europe.

Rooibos is becoming more popular in Western countries particularly amongst health-conscious consumers, who appreciate it for its high level of antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), its lack of caffeine and its very low tannin levels.

Honeybush


Honeybush or 'Heuningbos' in Afrikaans, is commonly used to make an infusion in the same manner as tea. It grows only in a small area in the southwest of South Africa in the Langkloof and shares many similarities with rooibos. There are 23 species of honeybush tea found in the wild, of which mainly 4 are used for commercial use.

Honeybush contains virtually no caffeine and is low in tannin. Some of the active compounds present in Honeybush include: Isoflavones, Flavones, Cinnamic acids, Coumestans, Non-Phenolic metabolites and Xanthones
