What Is Banaba?
Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa) is a tropical flowering tree found throughout Southeast Asia. It is also known for its attractive purple flowers, but its leaves have traditionally been prepared as herbal infusions in several Asian cultures.
Banaba leaves contain naturally occurring phytochemicals, including corosolic acid, ellagitannins, flavonoids and other polyphenolic compounds.
Modern scientific research has investigated several of these compounds. However, research findings should not be interpreted as evidence that Banaba tea can prevent, treat or cure any disease.
At Krittiya Garden, we believe botanical wellness begins with understanding plants responsibly—not making promises beyond the available evidence.
Taste & Character
Banaba Leaf Tea has a naturally mild, earthy and botanical flavour.
The flavour intensity can be adjusted by changing the steeping time or amount of water. It can be enjoyed on its own or served chilled for a refreshing herbal drink.
