We all know that tea is one of the most consumed beverages and it has taken root everywhere throughout the entire world. The largest concentration of catechins (natural antioxidants) in the world is found in Indonesian tea. However, technically speaking, any beverage that is prepared by adding hot water to it is referred to as tea. Tea is not only manufactured from tea leaves; it may also be made from berries and fruits like lychees, as well as from flowers like roses, jasmine, rosella, and others. Additionally, there are unique teas manufactured in Indonesia from the leaves of various trees.

Daun Kopi Tea

Daun is the Bahasa word for leaf, and kopi is the word for coffee. Daun kopi tea is thus a beverage produced from the leaves of the coffee tree. We can gain a lot of advantages by eating coffee leaves, including:

  • Cure Maag.
  • Reduce Heart Disease Risk.
  • Reduce dizziness.
  • Improve Respiratory Tract by combining coffee leaf with ginger tea
  • Anti-inflammatory.

According to research in Europe, coffee tree leaves have more antioxidants than black tea.

Daun Jati Tea

Daun Salam Tea

Due to its distinctive aroma, bay leaf is frequently utilized by Indonesians as a natural supplementary flavouring for Indonesian food. Additionally, Indonesians came up with a way to prepare tea using bay leaves. Numerous vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to the digestive system can be found in bay leaf. By brewing bay leaf tea without sugar and adding a dash of salt, a bay leaf tea can also be used as an oralit, a remedy to treat diarrhea. The other benefits from bay leaves are:

  • Treat hypertension.
  • Assist in weight loss.
  • Strengthen immunity.
  • Decrease cholesterol.
  • Treat a cough.

Binahong Tea

Binahong or Heart-leaf-made ravine is a herbal plant that has a lot of benefits to prevent and cure a lot of diseases varieties. This kind of leaf is also used for medicines and for disease prevention, Binahong leaf is consumed by boiling it in the water just like making another tea herbal. Some of the benefits from binahong tea are:

  • Help the recovery process after surgery.
  • Stroke prevention.
  • Cancer Prevention.
  • Joint Sore Prevention.
  • Reduce Cholesterol.

Breadfruit Leaf Tea

Breadfruit is very nutrient-dense, including folate, calcium, protein, vitamin A, B1, and antioxidants that only grow in tropical areas. Additionally, the leaves contain nutrients and there are several advantages of drinking breadfruit leaf tea, including:

  • Decrease Hypertension.
  • Manage Cholesterol Concentrations.
  • Treating arthritis.
  • Helps diabetes heal.
  • Cure Maag.
  • Reduce Colon Cancer Risk

However, producing breadfruit leaf tea is identical to making other types of tea. Pick a good leaf, wash it with water, dry it in the sun, and then boil it in water.

Despite all the advantages of tea described above, drinking too much of it is still not a smart idea. Because tea includes caffeine and tannins that have the potential to induce anemia. In addition, adding milk to tea actually dissolves the antioxidant, so make sure to obtain adequate sleep, drink enough water, and exercise for your health.
