Origin of ingredients
Agulhas Honeybush Tea (AHT)
Terroir
Agulhas Honeybush Tea is a family business located in Bredasdorp, in the Western Cape region of South Africa. This is a region of rolling hills and coastal plains. The Langeberg mountain range can be seen to the north, and sand dunes to the south. Bredasdorp enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Soils vary from sandy to clayey. Water resources come mainly from local rivers, such as the Heuningnes, as well as from rainfall, which occurs mainly in the winter months from May to August. The Cape Floristic Region boasts exceptional biodiversity, and is home to the fynbos biome. This is characterized by dense, shrubby vegetation, home to endemic species such as Swainson's francolins and Bondebok antelopes.
Background and challenges
Honeybush is a shrub endemic to the region, capable of withstanding prolonged drought thanks to a well-developed root system. However, global warming is exacerbating periods of drought, jeopardizing the survival of young shrubs, as their root network is not sufficiently developed to absorb adequate amounts of moisture.
Community projects
The company was founded in 1994 with the aim of growing organic, environmentally-friendly Honeybush tea and developing the South African Honeybush tea industry. Since the 2000s, the company has supported Honeybush producers of all sizes, from cultivation to certification of their Honeybush, bearing the cost of the latter. This encourages a more sustainable production model, generating exceptional product quality for international and local markets.
Organic farming
We have always offered organically grown teas and herbal teas, and used natural, organic flavours. We go even further, demanding that our suppliers use certified organic flavor carriers and solvents. Certified since 1994.
Tea and food pairings
Honeybush's extremely honeyed notes are ideal with hard cheeses such as goat's cheese. It will also bring a pleasant woody tinge to a raspberry tart. Slightly over-infused and prepared cold, the infusion makes a highly original pairing with a fromage blanc topped with chestnut honey, bringing out its fruity, tangy finish.
