Moringa tea (Moringa oleifera) is made from the dried leaves of one of the most nutrient-dense plants on Earth. This certified organic moringa leaf tea provides a remarkable range of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids in every cup. Known as the "drumstick tree" or "miracle tree," moringa leaves contain all nine essential amino acids (rare for a plant), along with significant levels of vitamins A, C, and E, calcium, iron, and potassium.
Key Benefits
- Exceptionally nutrient-dense: Moringa leaves are one of the most nutritionally complete plants known. Gram for gram, dried moringa leaves contain more vitamin A than carrots, more calcium than milk, more iron than spinach, and more potassium than bananas.
- Complete amino acid profile: Contains all nine essential amino acids, making it one of the rare plant sources of complete protein. Particularly valuable for plant-based diets.
- Antioxidant-rich: Contains over 46 identified antioxidant compounds including quercetin, chlorogenic acid, and beta-carotene.
- Traditional Ayurvedic herb: Known as Shigru in Ayurveda, moringa has been used in traditional Indian medicine for over 4,000 years as a nutritive tonic and general wellness support.
- Certified organic: Grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers.
Tea: Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried moringa leaves to a cup of freshly boiled water. Cover and steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain and drink. The flavour is mild, earthy, and slightly grassy. Add honey and lemon to taste.
Nutrient blend: Combine moringa leaf with Nettle Leaf and Peppermint for a mineral-rich, refreshing daily tea.
Iced moringa tea: Brew a strong pot of moringa tea, allow to cool, and serve over ice with a squeeze of lime. Add Lemongrass for a tropical twist. Herb Cottage also sells Moringa Leaf Powder for smoothies and cooking.
Moringa trees grow rapidly in tropical climates and can reach 10 metres in a single year. Nearly every part of the tree is used in tropical regions: the leaves for food and tea, the seed pods as vegetables, the seeds for water purification, and the oil for cooking and cosmetics.
Moringa grows well in tropical and subtropical parts of Australia, including North Queensland. It is caffeine-free and generally considered safe for daily use. Non-toxic to dogs and cats.
