Java Tea
Traditional Pure Herbal Tea
Our special tea begins
with the island of Borneo itself. Its clean air, pure
water and the rich volcanic soil of our estate create
the perfect environment for a plant which has been used
as a folk medicine for many centuries.
Balung Java Tea (also
known as Misai Kucing Herbal Tea) is traditionally used
for kidney bladder stones, liver, gallbladder, diabetic
problems and urinary tract infections as it has a mild
diuretic action which is useful for flushing the kidneys
and urinary tracts. It is also used to reduce
cholesterol and high blood pressure. It is also taken
for rheumatism and gout, although its effectiveness for
these problems has not been scientifically verified.
Researchers have found it to be mildly antiseptic as
well.
Grown in the rich
volcanic soil of North Borneo (Sabah, Malaysia), the
Balung Java Tea is enjoyed throughout South East Asia,
known to boost and enhances one's well being.
Balung Java Tea is
hygienically processed 100% solely from the leaves
(where most of the medicinal contents are located) with
no artificial colouring, flavoring or additives.
Pokok Misai Kucing is the
Malay name for Orthosiphon Staminus Benth, a medicinal
herb found throughout Southeast Asia and in tropical
Australia.
The plant is known by many other names including Kumis
Kucing and Remujung (Malay), Orthosiphonblaetter,
Indisher Nierentee, Feuilles de Barbiflore, Java Tea,
Javatee, Kidney Tea and Yaa Nuat Maeo.
The Java Tea plant is an
herbaceous shrub which grows to a height of 1.5 meters.
It is a popular garden plant because of its unique
flower, white and bluish with filaments resembling a
cat's whiskers. In the wild, the plant can be seen
growing in the forest and along roadsides.
Savor and enjoy a refreshing and soothing drink that is
full of Goodness for your body.
