Vanilla Bean Honeybush from California Tea House

Steepster Score 3 Ratings Rate This Tea

78/100

Vanilla Bean Honeybush

Herbal Honeybush Blend by California Tea House

Honeybush is made from the Cyclopia sessiliflora plant from the mountains of the South African Cape. It is very similar to Rooibos in taste and health aspects, yet it is naturally a little more sweet. We took the highest grade Honeybush and blended in vanilla bean pieces and marigold petals to create our naturally caffeine-free Vanilla Bean Honeybush.

This is decent. It takes me back to the days when I was flavoring/blending teas as I had a vanilla honeybush blend back then… although, I think I liked mine better than this. The flavor of the honeybush – naturally sweet, honey-like, with pronounced nutty tones – seems to marry very well with the creamy sweetness of vanilla. This is nice.

Another gift from Ashley! Thanks so much! This is very sweet and very smooth and I like it just fine and dandy! The aroma and vanilla notes are quiet and soothing and do not shout. This is just a nice relaxing cuppa…plain and simple.

Backlogging this from yesterday…not as Vanilla Bean as before – it could have been that I didn’t infuse long enough or my water wasn’t hot enough as I tried another method….so I will keep the rating from my previous attempts. I think I am going to pass this one along as well!

Sometimes you just want something simple and delicious! Honeybush is a lot like Rooibos. Have you tried it?

I kind of switch back and forth on caffeine-free teas. Lately I am completely addicted to our Vanilla Bean Honeybush! It has bits of true burbon vanilla and it really puts me in a nice state of mind after dinner. It’s not too sweet and has a very soft palette.
Actually, I’ve found that it needs boiling water for the steeping, but then once it’s in your cup, the best flavor comes through right as it gets to a temperature that your taking true tastes instead of tiny sips.
Enjoy!
