Bush teas & other

South African bush teas (both caffeine-free) and caffeinated botanicals from other regions (Yerba Mate) that do not fit the other herbal families. Rooibos and Honeybush are both from the Western Cape and both recognizably different: Rooibos has a vanilla-earth sweetness and good oxidized color; Honeybush is sweeter and more honey-like. Yerba Mate is South American, caffeinated, and has its own dedicated ritual, equipment, and drinker culture that overlaps only loosely with the tea world. These are grouped here by convention rather than any shared processing or flavor logic.
