WELLNESSWEEK
We believe in nature’s power to heal, nourish, and rejuvenate. Herbal tea isn’t just a drink—it’s a ritual rooted in centuries of traditional wisdom. Our dried medicinal leaves, sourced directly from sustainable farms in Uganda and beyond, offer an easy and effective way to support your health naturally. Let’s dive into the top 5 medicinal leaves you can brew at home—each available in our online store and crafted with purity and care.
1. Eucalyptus Leaves (Te de Eucalipto)
Eucalyptus leaves have been used for centuries by Indigenous Australians and in traditional medicine systems worldwide. Our dried eucalyptus tea is crafted using whole, sun-dried leaves—rich in eucalyptol (cineole), a natural compound known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
Brewing eucalyptus tea offers natural relief for coughs, colds, sinus pressure, and allergies. The menthol-like aroma clears airways, while the warm steam soothes your respiratory system.
Brewing Tip: Inhale the steam before sipping for added sinus relief. Add honey and ginger for a powerful cold remedy.
2. Hibiscus Flowers
Details:
Our dried hibiscus flowers, often called roselle or flor de Jamaica, are grown in nutrient-rich soil and naturally dried to preserve their deep red color and floral tartness. Hibiscus tea is high in vitamin C, polyphenols, and anthocyanins, making it one of the most antioxidant-rich herbal teas available.
It’s commonly consumed in African, Latin American, and Caribbean cultures for managing high blood pressure, reducing inflammation, and boosting immunity. Plus, it tastes amazing iced or hot.
Brewing Tip: Steep for 7–10 minutes for a stronger, tangier flavor. Enjoy with lemon and mint for a refreshing summer drink.
3. Moringa Leaves
Nicknamed the "Miracle Tree", moringa oleifera is packed with calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and a wide spectrum of amino acids. Our dried moringa leaves are harvested by hand and naturally dried to maintain maximum nutritional value.
Moringa tea is traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine to support energy, reduce inflammation, and promote mental clarity. It’s caffeine-free but gently stimulating thanks to its dense nutrient profile.
Brewing Tip: Add 1 tsp of dried moringa to boiling water and steep for 5 minutes. Pair with turmeric or ginger for an immunity boost.
4. Guava Leaves (Hojas de Guayaba)
Guava leaves are a hidden gem in natural medicine. Popular in Latin America and Southeast Asia, they are traditionally brewed to help manage blood sugar levels, treat diarrhea and infections, and support gut health.
Our dried guava leaves are handpicked, sun-dried, and free of additives. They are a gentle, healing herb rich in quercetin, flavonoids, and tannins, all known for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.
Brewing Tip: Steep 1 tsp of crushed leaves in hot water for 8–10 minutes. Ideal after meals for digestion support.
5. Lemongrass Leaves (Te de Limón)
With its fresh citrus scent and zesty flavor, lemongrass is more than a cooking herb—it’s a calming, cleansing tea. It’s often used in Ayurvedic and Thai medicine to relieve bloating, nausea, and stress.
Our dried lemongrass leaves are long-cut and naturally preserved for maximum essential oil content. They brew into a golden-yellow tea with a refreshing finish that supports detoxification and healthy digestion.
Brewing Tip: Boil 1 tbsp of lemongrass leaves in water for 5–7 minutes. Serve hot or iced with lime.
