What is KAWAKAWA?
Kawakawa (Macropiper excelsum) is a remarkable native plant of New Zealand, celebrated for its rich cultural heritage and numerous health benefits. At KiOra Tea, we proudly feature Kawakawa as a key ingredient in some of our New Zealand teas, adding a unique and invigorating twist to your tea-drinking experience.
Cultural Significance:
In the Maori culture of New Zealand, Kawakawa holds a special place. It's often referred to as the "Sacred Plant of the Maori" due to its historical use in traditional medicine, rituals, and culinary practices. The Maori people have long recognized the potent healing properties of Kawakawa leaves.
Distinctive Flavor Profile:
Kawakawa leaves impart a distinctive flavor to teas, characterized by earthy, peppery, and slightly spicy notes. This flavor profile is both refreshing and soothing, making it a standout ingredient in our New Zealand teas.
Health Benefits:
Kawakawa is renowned for its potential health benefits. Rich in antioxidants and essential oils, it's believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and may aid in digestion and relaxation. In the UAE's bustling lifestyle, enjoying Kawakawa-infused tea can offer a moment of tranquility and well-being.
A Taste of New Zealand:
When you sip our Kawakawa-infused teas, you're experiencing a taste of New Zealand's natural bounty.
