Botanical Name: Psidium guajava
Guava Leaf Tea has been enjoyed for centuries across Mexico, Central America, Brazil, and East Asia for its refreshing, bright, comforting and uplifting brew.
Spice Zen’s Certified Organic Guava Leaf Tea is made from premium dried Thai guava leaves, quality checked and hand-packed at our gluten-free Sydney facility. The leaves brew into a soft rosé-gold liquor with a fruity, lightly tannic, elegant, grounding with a beautifully clean finish.
In Japan, a guava-leaf extract is listed within the country’s Foods for Specified Health Uses (FOSHU) category as a regulatory framework for foods traditionally consumed by people who are mindful of their post-meal sugar response.
Across tropical cuisines, guava leaf has been enjoyed for centuries as a soothing post-meal or early-evening infusion, valued for its role in daily rituals that promote a sense of balance and wellbeing.
Contemporary nutrition research has also shown interest in how guava-leaf infusions interact with carbohydrate-rich meals, exploring their potential role in supporting comfortable, steady post-meal balance when enjoyed as part of a varied diet.
Ideal for modern tea drinkers seeking a calming, caffeine-free alternative, and for those who enjoy botanical infusions with a clean, fruit-tinged finish any time of the day.
