The Standard Cup (Tropical Sun Moringa)
Tropical Sun Moringa brewed at around 80C, pale green and grassy with a green tea character. No caffeine, so it suits any hour.
Tropical Sun Moringa is pure dried moringa leaf, nothing else, so it brews up pale green and tastes more like a light Green Tea than a fruity herbal: soft, grassy and faintly vegetal. Like green tea, it prefers water just off the boil; full temperature water tips it towards bitterness. Caffeine free, and best drunk fresh.

You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Tropical Sun Moringa
- 250ml just boiled water, cooled for a minute (about 80C)
- Honey, optional, to taste
- A slice of lemon, optional
Method
- Boil the kettle, then let it stand for a minute so the water drops to around 80C, which keeps moringa smooth rather than bitter.
- Pop the moringa bag in your mug and pour over the slightly cooled water.
- Leave to steep for 3 minutes, then lift out the bag without squeezing it.
- Taste, and add a little honey or a slice of lemon if you like.
- Sip while it is fresh and green.
- Steep in a glass to watch the colour; moringa turns the water soft green within 90 seconds.
