Long before manuka became famous for its honey, the Māori of New Zealand were brewing the leaves of this powerful plant into calming, cleansing teas.
What makes it so special?
These humble leaves are rich in natural compounds like:
Triketones – potent plant antibiotics that help fight harmful bacteria (yes, even MRSA!)
Cineole & Limonene – clear your chest and sinuses like a forest breeze 🌲
Caryophyllene & Flavonoids – ease inflammation, calm the gut, soothe your skin
Tannins – astringent warriors that tone tissues and support oral health
People drink manuka leaf tea to:
Soothe sore throats & support oral health
Ease coughs, congestion & promote clear breathing
Calm digestion and relieve bloating
Reduce stress, anxiety & promote restful sleep
Support skin health from the inside out
Eliminates microbials
It’s like sipping on nature’s apothecary — for your body, breath, and mind.
No caffeine. No fluff. Just wild New Zealand leaves packed with tradition and science.
If you are a tea lover, stay tuned as there may be some SAMU Manuka tea brewing soon ;)
