Moringa itself has no scent and it's mostly flavorless aside from its natural slight sweetness. But when you those add seven ingredients we did, it literally becomes a fruity cocktail. The pleasant and refreshing flavours of papaya, raisins, apples and lemons make this loose-leaf tea a top pick.
The infusion is red in color. We recommend you try this infusion also as an iced tea.
Origins
The original habitat of Moringa oleifera is in the foothills of the Himalayas, from where it spread to India, Arabia, Africa and Madagascar. It can be found under the names of Horseradish tree, Kelor, Benzolive or Drumstick tree.
Moringa is an example of a plant that people have learned to utilize "from head to toe" – the leaves are either dried and used for infusions or added raw to salads and soups, the fruits are used as beanpods, the seeds are pressed for oil or roasted, the bark is used to make ropes and mats. And the roots? They taste a bit like horseradish, so that's how the natives use them. And yet, this unique and amazing tree can be easily missed among the greenery.
The relatively inconspicuous tree grows up to 12m in its natural state. However, on plantations it is kept as a 1-2m shrub, for better accessibility. The crown is rather sparse, the leaves large and alternate. The small white flowers have a pleasant scent. The fruits look like pods and contain hazelnut-sized seeds.
