Of the plain moringas this is the one that actually rewards drinking: cleaner and brighter than the Tropical Sun pure version, with a genuine grassy lift and, given a longer steep, a soft floral sweetness that stops it being merely earthy. Lighter in body than black or green, so think gentle daily cup, not robust brew. The "miracle tree" and nutritional-density wording is exactly what to ignore, I make no health claims. What is real is the grower-direct Jamaican sourcing and that, brewed patiently, this is the best-tasting pure moringa here.
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 Jamaican British family business founded by Dr Henry Lowe, a Jamaican scientist and pharmacologist who has spent decades researching traditional Caribbean herbs and pioneering moringa in UK retail. The company works directly with Jamaican farmers for the moringa leaves, ensuring authentic provenance and fair payment to growers. 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. The dried leaf carries naturally occurring antioxidants, vitamins (A, C, E) and minerals (calcium, potassium, iron). 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.

Dalgety Pure Moringa is a single ingredient herbal tea, 100% Moringa oleifera leaves in 18 tea bags. No fillers, no flavourings, no green tea base. Sourced direct from Jamaican farmers through Dalgety. Caffeine free.
Moringa oleifera is widely known as the "miracle tree" for its dense nutritional profile, vitamins A, C and E, plus calcium, potassium, iron and a range of antioxidants, all naturally occurring in the dried leaf. Dalgety positions this product as a daily wellness cup rather than a flavoured tea; the appeal is the botanical itself rather than a flavour blend.
The taste profile
Four sensory dimensions:
- Grassy freshness, 4/5. Bright and light green top notes give a refreshing lift; cleaner than the more vegetal note of pure green tea.
- Earthy smoothness, 4/5. Grounded, mild medium strength base reads balanced rather than overpowering; the signature moringa register.
- Floral sweetness, 3/5. A gentle natural sweet edge develops as the leaves steep longer; reads more like fresh leaf than dried tea.
- Body density, 3/5. Refreshing and clean herbal liquor with a smooth finish; lighter than a black or green tea brew.
Teas.co.uk Curator Rating: 4.7/5, our expert verdict from the curators at Teas.co.uk.
The story behind Dalgety
Dalgety Herbal Teas is a Jamaican British family business founded by Dr Henry Lowe, a Jamaican scientist and pharmacologist who has spent decades researching the traditional uses of Caribbean herbs. The company works directly with Jamaican farmers to source moringa, soursop and other traditional Caribbean botanicals, ensuring authentic provenance and fair payment to growers in the West Indies.
The Planet Friendly Herbal Tea
Dalgety's sustainability work is built around direct relationships with growers:
- 100% pure formulation. Only Moringa oleifera leaves, no artificial flavourings, no synthetic fillers, no blending dilution.
- Packaging guidance. Packaging formats vary; follow the current pack and local disposal guidance.
- Direct grower relationships. Sourced direct from Jamaican farmers rather than through commodity brokers. Fair payment, traceable supply chain.
- Clean label integrity. Naturally very low in calories, fat and salt, a functional choice for daily wellness drinking.
The perfect serve
- Temperature. 100°C (full boil). Unlike green tea, moringa benefits from full heat, it draws more of the soluble vitamins and minerals out of the dried leaf.
- Steep. 3-5 minutes depending on how robust you prefer the earthy flavour. Longer steeps extract more of the moringa minerals; shorter for a lighter, more floral cup.
- Service. Drink plain to taste the natural grassy and earthy notes. Honey softens the cup if you prefer it less austere; a slice of fresh lemon adds brightness.
- Smoothie base. Brew one bag in 100ml hot water, cool, use as the liquid base for a green smoothie. Adds subtle moringa complexity without overpowering other ingredients.
Best paired with
- Yogurt and granola: the moringa earthiness complements oats and nuts; classic wellness breakfast pairing.
- 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.
How Does Dalgety Pure Moringa Compare to
- Dalgety Moringa with Green Tea: Same brand, blended version with green tea base. The Moringa with Green Tea version contains caffeine; this Pure Moringa is fully caffeine free. Choose Pure for evening or pregnancy safe drinking, Blended for morning lift.
- Pukka Three Mint: Different herbal register (mint vs. moringa). Both organic tier caffeine free herbals. Choose Pukka for digestive cooling; Dalgety for the moringa wellness profile with the Caribbean sourcing story.
- Yorkshire Tea (decaf or standard): Yorkshire is the British everyday black tea baseline. Dalgety Pure Moringa is a different category entirely, herbal infusion, caffeine free, functional positioning. Switch to Pure Moringa for the wellness register; back to Yorkshire for the standard breakfast cup.
