Coffee Leaf Tea – Amazingly high caffeine content & simple to prepare

The coffee plant has almost endless possibilities to make us happy.

There is coffee, cascara, coffee-blossom-tea and yes, even the dried leaves can be poured over with hot water.
In my Indonesia and India article I had already briefly introduced the tea to you. Today I put the focus on it:

• In Ethiopia, South Sudan and Indonesia this drink has been a tradition for centuries.
• In Germany and generally in Europe the coffee-leaf tea is not yet known and therefore a rarity. That makes it expensive as well.
• The tea can have an up to 3x higher caffeine content than a cup of coffee and is thus probably a real coffee alternative!
• The tea has more antioxidants and mangiferin than black or green tea.
• It is anti-inflammatory, protects our cells, lowers the risk of diabetes and reduces cholesterol in the blood.
• Add to this the positive effects of caffeine.
• The smell reminds of green tea – the taste of black tea or rooibos. This varies, of course, according to coffee type and variety.
