Organic Moringa Herbal Tea - 40 tea bags, 1.5g each

Nutritional Composition and Documented Properties

To date, there is no EMA/HMPC monograph for moringa. The information presented below is based on nutritional data available in the scientific literature and on traditional uses documented in the pharmacopoeias of South Asia and Africa. No therapeutic claims are made.

A Leaf with Documented Nutritional Density

The moringa leaf is one of the most extensively analyzed plant materials from a nutritional standpoint. Available compositional studies indicate a significant protein content (approximately 25 to 30% of dry weight), including all eight essential amino acids—a rarity for a plant-based source. The dried leaves also contain B vitamins (B1, B2, B3), vitamin C, vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene, as well as minerals such as calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium. These nutritional values are based on analyses of dried leaves and may vary depending on growing conditions, the season, and the drying process.

Polyphenols and isothiocyanates: Characteristic Active Compounds

In addition to its nutritional richness, the moringa leaf contains specific phenolic compounds, notably quercetin, kaempferol, and chlorogenic acid, which belong to the flavonoid family and are studied for their antioxidant properties. The plant also contains glucosinolates, precursors to isothiocyanates—sulfur-containing compounds also found in the Brassicaceae family (broccoli, cabbage, watercress)—which are the subject of extensive scientific literature.

Traditional Uses in South Asia and Africa

In Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, moringa is known as shigru, and its leaves have been used for centuries for their nutritional and tonic properties. In sub-Saharan Africa, dried and powdered moringa leaves are incorporated into the daily diet in many rural communities, particularly for their micronutrient content in food-insecure settings. These uses are documented by several international organizations, including the FAO.

Aromatic Profile of the Herbal Tea

When brewed, moringa leaves develop mild, slightly earthy herbal notes, without any pronounced bitterness. Its taste is reminiscent of leafy green vegetables (spinach, watercress) with a characteristic, subtle vegetal note. The herbal tea is caffeine-free and can be consumed at any time of day, including in the evening.
