Last reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in February 2026.

Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is one of the most nutritious plants known, high in vitamin A, calcium, iron, and antioxidants. Tropical Sun Moringa makes the dried leaves accessible as tea. Earthy, slightly grassy flavour. Marketed as "superfood tea", the nutrient claims are real but tea strength delivery is much weaker than supplement form. Worth knowing about; expect modest benefit.

The "superfood" claims

Moringa leaves contain:

Vitamin A (high).
Vitamin C (moderate).
Calcium (high).
Iron.
Protein (high for a leaf).
Antioxidants.

The "superfood" framing is real, moringa is genuinely nutrient dense. But:

Tea strength delivers tiny fraction of these nutrients.
Eating moringa leaf or powder gives much higher doses.
Marketing of moringa is often overblown vs evidence.
