Malunggay tea
Malunggay tea, in a bag
Malunggay is moringa: two names for the same tree, Moringa oleifera. If the leaf is already part of your kitchen, or your family's, you may have been looking for a tea you can simply steep and sip. Ours is organic, single-origin Sri Lanka leaf in plastic-free herbal tea bags, in 20 flavors.

Malunggay and moringa: the same plant
In the Philippines the tree is malunggay, and the leaves are dahon ng malunggay. In much of South Asia it is the drumstick tree, and in English it is moringa. The dried malunggay leaves in our tea bags are the same species you may know from home cooking, so you are not trying something unfamiliar. You are getting the leaf you know in a tea bag.
The leaf has long been a food plant, which is why many households have a cooking relationship with it: in a pot of tinola, in a dish with coconut milk, or as a dried leaf kept in the pantry. We do not claim our tea is a replacement for any of that, and we do not claim it is Philippine-made. It is Sri Lankan-grown moringa leaf, and we say so plainly.
Why moringa leaf is worth a place in the pantry
Moringa leaf is a nutrient-dense plant. Gram for gram, dried moringa leaf powder contains about 17 times the calcium of whole milk, about 10 times the iron of raw spinach and about 3 times the potassium of bananas (leaf powder analyzed per 100 g, Gopalakrishnan 2016; comparison foods from USDA data). A tea bag is not a bowl of leaf powder, though. A cup of tea gives you far less than those figures suggest, so we do not sell the tea as a nutrient source. For that, our moringa powder is the better fit, and a serving is only a few grams (4 g).
What the tea gives you is simpler: the taste of the leaf, a warm cup, and a daily habit that is easy to keep. Moringa leaf is naturally caffeine-free, and 18 of our 20 herbal flavors are entirely caffeine-free. Green Tea moringa is decaffeinated (under 1 mg), and Earl Grey is low caffeine (5-10 mg). Our Ginger tea is caffeine-free, so it suits morning, afternoon or evening.

Malunggay tea questions
Is malunggay the same as moringa?
Yes. Malunggay is the Tagalog name for the tree that English speakers call moringa, and its botanical name is Moringa oleifera. In South Asia the same tree is known as the drumstick tree. Our tea is made from the leaf of that species.
Where do your moringa leaves come from?
Our leaves are single-origin from Sri Lanka, grown near rainforest regions on family-owned farms. We buy the leaf directly from independent farmers, then solar-dry and hand-process it. We do not source from the Philippines, and we do not describe the tea as Filipino-made.
Is Miracle Tree malunggay tea organic?
Yes. All of our teas are USDA Organic and EU Organic, certified through Control Union, and they are also non-GMO, vegan and naturally gluten-free.
Can I drink malunggay tea every day?
Many people drink herbal tea daily, and Ginger moringa tea is caffeine-free, so there is no caffeine to count. This is a herbal tea, not a medicine, and everyone is different. If you have a health condition or take medication, check with your doctor before adding a new herbal tea to your routine. You can read more in our guide on what happens when you drink moringa tea every day.
Does malunggay tea have caffeine?
Ginger moringa tea has none. Moringa leaf is naturally caffeine-free, and 18 of our 20 herbal flavors are caffeine-free. Green Tea moringa is decaffeinated (under 1 mg per bag) and Earl Grey is low caffeine (5-10 mg). Our separate Energy line contains 155 mg of natural caffeine per bag, so check the label if you want to avoid it.
What does malunggay tea taste like?
Plain moringa leaf tastes green, mildly earthy and a little grassy, with a clean finish. If you prefer something sweeter, Mango and Peach & Ginger are softer entry points. Our taste guide describes each flavor.
How do I brew malunggay tea bags?
Pour hot water over one bag and steep for 4-5 minutes, then remove the bag. Sip it plain or add honey or lemon. It also works iced: brew it hot, let it cool, and pour it over ice.
Where can I buy malunggay tea near me?
