Cancerbush Tea Pure fine cut 250g, loose
What is Cancer Bush?
Cancerbush belongs to the plant family Fabaceae, whose scientific name stands for the legume or Leguminosae family.
The Cancer Bush is an attractive shrub about one meter tall with silvery leaves, red flowers and balloon-like pods.
Cancerbush belongs to the fynbos plant family, which also includes rooibos, buchu and honeybush, which is found exclusively in the Cape Province.
The bitter taste of the Cancer Bush
The bitter taste of cancerbush is due to various chemical compounds, including saponins, flavonoids, and bitter substances such as amarogentin, a special compound known for its bitterness.
These bitter substances serve as a protective mechanism for the plant against herbivores and can also help protect the plant from pathogenic organisms, that is, from microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses or fungi that can cause diseases.
In addition, bitter substances can also play a role in stimulating the digestive system by increasing the production of digestive juices and enzymes.
Discover your own aroma composition
If the pure infusion of Cancerbush tea is too bitter for you, you have the option to temper it to your taste. You can mix it with rooibos, buchu or honeybush, depending on the level of bitterness you prefer, and for an extra touch of flavor you can add slices of fresh ginger.
Let yourself be seduced by the fascinating variety of aromas of your own tea blend. Starting with a refreshing citrus mint from Buchu, the natural sweetness of Honeybush follows, before the slight bitterness of Cancerbush unfolds in the finish, accompanied by the gentle spiciness of fresh ginger.
