Dalgety Moringa with Green Tea, 18 Tea Bags 40g
A far more drinkable way to have moringa than the plain leaf: here a bright sencha-style green does the heavy lifting and the moringa sits underneath as a mild, earthy undercurrent rather than the whole show, so it tastes clean and fresh instead of flat and grassy. Brew it around 80 degrees and it stays vegetal, not astringent. There is real green tea, so caffeine, a daytime cup. Dalgety is a proper Caribbean herbal specialist with a real founder behind it, which counts for more than packaging; I claim nothing for it beyond the cup, and as a cup this is the moringa to choose.
Dalgety Moringa with Green Tea, in brief.
Dalgety Moringa with Green Tea is a green tea and moringa blend in 18 tea bags, 40g pack. The brew pours a clear golden green with grassy top notes from the Chinese green tea base and an earthy undercurrent from the dried moringa leaves. Naturally low calorie, contains caffeine from the green tea (lower than coffee, present nonetheless).
Dalgety is a Caribbean herbal tea specialist founded in the UK in 1993 by Mark Dalgety, a Guyanese-born chemical engineer. For its herbs, the company says, it turns to small farmers and communities in the Caribbean, West Africa and Asia. The brand sits in the functional tea tier above mass market supermarket green tea.
The moringa leaves come from selected tropical growing regions. Moringa oleifera is widely known as the miracle tree for its dense nutritional profile. In the cup it pairs well with green tea, whose grassy top notes sit alongside the moringa base instead of fighting it. The tea-bag format keeps preparation straightforward.
Brew at 80-90°C for 2-5 minutes. Let the kettle rest 60 seconds after boiling so the temperature drops below boiling and the green tea catechins don't extract too aggressively. Best drunk plain to taste the natural grassy and earthy notes, though a slice of fresh lemon or ginger brightens the cup. Excellent as a cold brew or iced version through warm weather.
Caffeine: the green tea in the blend carries caffeine; no milligram figure is claimed for it.
Dalgety is a Caribbean herbal tea specialist, set up in the UK by Mark Dalgety. The brand specialises in botanicals that mainstream UK retail tends to ignore: moringa, soursop, traditional Caribbean and African herbs. Real ingredients, real provenance, no synthetic flavourings.
