Dalgety Pure Moringa, 18 Tea Bags 40g
Of the plain moringas this is the one that actually rewards drinking: cleaner and brighter than the Tropical Sun pure version, with a real grassy lift and, given a longer steep, a soft floral sweetness that keeps it from being merely earthy. It is lighter in body than black or green tea, so treat it as a gentle daily cup, not a strong brew. The "miracle tree" and nutritional-density wording is exactly what to ignore, I make no health claims. What is real is that, brewed patiently, this is the best-tasting pure moringa here.
Dalgety Pure Moringa, in brief.
Dalgety Pure Moringa is a single ingredient herbal tea, 100% Moringa oleifera leaves in 18 tea bags, 40g pack. The brew pours a clear pale green yellow with grassy floral top notes and an earthy moringa base. Completely caffeine free, naturally low calorie, suitable as an evening cup or pregnancy friendly drink.
Dalgety is a Caribbean herbal tea specialist founded in the UK in 1993 by Mark Dalgety, a Guyanese-born chemical engineer. Small farms and farming communities in West Africa, Asia and the Caribbean are where the company says its herbs come from. The brand sits in the functional tea tier above mass market herbal teas.
Moringa oleifera is widely known as the "miracle tree" for its dense nutritional profile. Brewed, the dried leaf gives a light, vegetal and gently earthy cup. Single ingredient formulation: no fillers, no green tea base, no flavourings. The pyramid bag gives the leaves room to expand, extracting more soluble nutrients than a flat paper bag.
Brew at 100°C for 3-5 minutes. Unlike green tea, moringa benefits from full boil water, it draws the vitamins and minerals out of the dried leaf more completely. Best drunk plain to taste the natural grassy and earthy notes, though honey softens the cup for those who prefer it less austere. Excellent as a cold infusion through warm weather or as a smoothie base.
Everything in the bag comes from the dried leaf of Moringa oleifera, so the cup tastes of that one plant and nothing else. Dalgety sells it as an everyday herbal cup rather than a flavoured tea, so the draw is the plant itself, not a blend of flavours.

The Planet Friendly Herbal Tea
The essentials:
- 100% pure formulation. Only Moringa oleifera leaves, no artificial flavourings, no synthetic fillers, no blending dilution.
- Packaging guidance. Pack designs change, so follow the one in hand and your local disposal advice.
- Small-farmer sourcing. Dalgety says it sources its herbs from small farmers and communities across the Caribbean, West Africa and Asia.
- Clean label integrity. Very low in calories, fat and salt by nature, so an easy drink to have every day.
Best paired with
- Yogurt and granola: the earthy moringa goes well with oats and nuts, a classic breakfast match.
- Light fruit: apple, pear, berries; the moringa's slight sweetness echoes natural fruit sugars without sweetening the cup.
- Evening wind down: caffeine free profile makes this a safe late evening cup; pair with a small biscuit or a square of dark chocolate.
- Storage: keep the carton sealed in a cool, dry place. Store away from coffee and strongly spiced products.
