Caffeine-free moringa leaf tea, hand-harvested on our family plantation and bagged loose so you taste the leaf rather than the dust. Moringa tea is the gentlest way to meet Moringa oleifera: a mild, grassy, slightly sweet infusion that sits somewhere between a green tea and a fresh garden herb, with none of the caffeine and none of the bitterness that comes from over-processed leaf. If you are new to moringa, this is where most people start. How to choose your moringa tea We keep the tea range deliberately small, because there are really only two decisions to make. Loose leaf or bagged. Loose leaf gives you the most control and the fullest flavour. You can see the quality of the leaf, adjust the strength cup by cup, and re-steep the same leaves a second time. Bagged is faster and travels better, which matters if you are brewing at a desk rather than a kitchen counter. Leaf or flower and leaf. Pure leaf is the classic: green, grassy, clean. Blends that include the moringa flower are lighter and slightly floral, closer to a chamomile in character, and tend to suit evening drinking. Whichever you choose, look at the colour. Good moringa leaf is a deep, living green. A dull khaki or yellow-brown tea has usually been dried with too much heat or stored too long in light. Ours is shade-dried in small batches and packed in resealable pouches for exactly that reason. How to brew it Use one heaped teaspoon of loose leaf, or one bag, per cup. Heat water to just off the boil, around 80 to 85°C. Boiling water scorches the leaf and pulls out a harsh, hay-like edge, so let the kettle stand for a minute before you pour. Steep for three to five minutes. Three gives you a light, bright cup; five gives you something fuller and more savoury. Moringa does not turn bitter the way black tea does if you forget it, but it does get grassy, so start short and work up until you find your steep. Drink it as it comes, or soften it with a slice of lemon, a little honey, or fresh ginger. It is excellent iced: brew it double-strength, let it cool, and pour it over ice with mint. Because there is no caffeine, you can drink it last thing at night without it costing you sleep, which is why a lot of our customers keep it for the evening rather than the morning. Once brewed, the leaves can be steeped a second time. Do not leave brewed tea at room temperature overnight; refrigerate and drink within two days. Frequently asked questions Does moringa tea contain caffeine? No. Moringa is not a true tea and contains no caffeine at any point in the plant. That is what makes it a practical evening drink and a straightforward swap if you are cutting back on coffee. What does moringa tea taste like? Mild, grassy and a little earthy, with a clean finish. Most people compare it to a light green tea or a very gentle matcha. It is far less astringent than green tea because there are no tannins doing the work. How often can I drink it? One to three cups a day suits most people. If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication, speak with your healthcare professional first, as you would before adding any new herb to your routine. Tea or powder — which should I buy? Tea if you want a ritual and a gentle introduction to the taste. Powder if you want to control the serving size and get moringa into food as well as drinks. Plenty of people keep both: tea for the evening, powder for the morning smoothie.
