Teebus and Koffiebus

Two iconic koppies between Middelburg and Steynsburg are known as Teebus and Koffiebus. The names are very unique and most internet sources refer to the derivation as teapot. But in E.J. du Plessis’ book, ’n Ondersoek na die oorsprong en betekenis van Suid-Afrikaanse berg- en riviername, the reference is definitely to a "teebussie". And when you go back to the internet and search for pictures of a teebussie, or rather theebus, you come across cans from the early 1900s that have that knob that makes the comparison to the pinnacle on Teebus very clear.
