| "This species is one of five types of Cyclopia used for honeybush tea. It has an extent of occurrence (EOO) of 16357 km² and an area of occupancy (AOO) of 172 km². It is known from at least 30 locations. The population is suspected to have undergone a 25% decline over the past three generations (150 years) due to the combined effects of urban expansion, agriculture, and opportunistic wild harvesting to supply the honeybush tea industry."

| "The “characteristic” sensory profile of honeybush can be described as a combination of “sweet-associated”, “floral”, “fruity”, “woody” and “plant-like” aromas with a sweet taste and a slightly astringent mouthfeel... C. sessiliflora samples were associated with “green” aroma (“plant-like” and “green grass”), as well as a sour taste, and C. genistoides with “apricot jam” aroma and a slightly bitter taste. C. intermedia did not display a distinct profile as most positive attributes were perceived at moderate intensities. Although certain compounds can be linked to specific a roma notes, it is important to realize that aroma notes of different compounds can mask or suppress one another, and combinations of aroma compounds can produce new aroma characteristics." \\ | "The “characteristic” sensory profile of honeybush can be described as a combination of “sweet-associated”, “floral”, “fruity”, “woody” and “plant-like” aromas with a sweet taste and a slightly astringent mouthfeel...

| | "Honeybush tea is mostly enjoyed as a hot beverage of the ‘fermented’ product. ‘Fermentation’ refers to the high-temperature oxidation process essential for the development of the sought-after sweet, floral aroma and flavour, and brown colour. Traditional medicinal uses include use as an expectorant in pulmonary tuberculosis, chronic catarrh, and a restorative with astringent properties. ‘Caspa Cyclopia Tea’ was the first branded product to appear on the market in the 1960s. The development of a formal industry in the 1990s gave rise to different branded honeybush products, and the production of extracts." \\ |
