Utamu Honeybush & Waterpear Tea

Description

The waterpear (Syzygium guineense) is found throughout sub-Saharan Africa.

For many who are familiar, it evokes nostalgic memories of childhood summers in the African savanna.

Bioactive compounds in the fruit include anthocyanins, gallotannins and ellagitannins which find use in treatments for inflammation, combat sores, inflammation and ulcers in the intestines as well as diabetes.

The fruits are juicy with a sweet, mildly-sour but rather bland flavour. In the tea, they give a sweet, fruity, floral, spicy, woody and slight lemony aroma, with sweet taste, astringent, slight vegetative and bitter notes on the palate.
