Description
Gotu Kola Tea — A Traditional Asian Botanical
Discover the distinctive botanical character of Gotu Kola Tea (Centella asiatica), an herbal infusion made from one of Asia’s best-known traditional plants.
Gotu kola is a small perennial herb found throughout tropical and subtropical regions and has a long history of traditional use in Asian cultures.
At Krittiya Garden, we bring this botanical heritage into modern everyday life through carefully selected ingredients and convenient individual tea bags — making it easy to enjoy a simple herbal tea ritual at home, at work or while travelling.
What Is Gotu Kola?
Gotu kola, botanically known as Centella asiatica, belongs to the Apiaceae family.
The plant is also known by several regional names, including Indian Pennywort, Asiatic Pennywort and Centella.
In Thailand, the plant is commonly known as Bua Bok (บัวบก) and has long been familiar as both a traditional botanical and food ingredient.
What Does Gotu Kola Tea Taste Like?
Gotu Kola Tea has a distinctive green, herbaceous and gently earthy character.
Its natural botanical flavour makes it an interesting alternative to conventional tea and can be enjoyed either warm or chilled.
Because pure gotu kola tea is an herbal infusion rather than conventional tea made from Camellia sinensis, it is naturally caffeine-free.
Botanical Heritage Meets Modern Wellness
Gotu kola has a long history of use in traditional Asian systems. Modern scientific research has identified several naturally occurring constituents in Centella asiatica, particularly pentacyclic triterpenes such as asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid.
Research continues into these compounds and the plant’s biological properties.
However, findings from laboratory studies, concentrated extracts or clinical preparations should not automatically be interpreted as evidence that an ordinary cup of Gotu Kola Tea can prevent, treat or cure disease.
At Krittiya Garden, we believe botanical knowledge should be communicated responsibly — respecting traditional knowledge while distinguishing it from modern clinical evidence.
