What is Moringa ?
Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is a tree native to South Asia, particularly the Himalayan region, and is often referred to as the “miracle tree.” Throughout history, moringa has been used in regions including ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Different parts of the tree, including its leaves, seeds, and bark, have been valued for both food and traditional herbal uses. Moringa was even used to produce oil in ancient Egypt. Today, its nutrient-dense leaves are especially valued for naturally containing vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A and calcium.

Taste
What does Moringa taste like?
Moringa tea has an earthy and grassy taste. It also has a mild and slightly peppery finish. However, the whole leaves are smoother and have a milder flavor than the powder which can be more bitter
Tap a note to explore it
Earthy
Earthy teas taste grounded and full. Their flavor lives close to the source, in soil, root, leaf, and wood, giving them a depth that fruit and floral blends simply don't reach. Smooth, low in bitterness, and satisfying in a way that feels nourishing.
Grassy
Grassy teas taste young and alive. Their flavor comes from leaves picked at their freshest, all sweet greens and clean vegetal brightness with a finish that refreshes rather than lingers.
Peppery
Peppery teas have bite. A warm, tingling sharpness that builds on the back of the palate and leaves a pleasant heat behind. Bold and stimulating rather than smooth, with the kind of edge that makes a cup feel invigorating instead of soothing.
