Eucalyptus Leaf Tea

$8.95

The leaves of eucalyptus leaf tea a sweet refreshing herbal infusion. Unlike mint or chamomile it's crisp and cool with a vapourous lift that clears palate and goes well with lemon and honey.

Good leaf is thin and clean smelling - camphoraceus, resin-fresh, lightly woody - and cut thin. The notes are from volatile oils, so cover and keep the steam (and scent) in the cup.

Short steeps yield pale straw liquor with a spa-fresh nose; Add a touch more time and you get mild bitters and a dry finish that works well in blends with ginger and thyme. It contains no caffeine and has a tidy rather than sweet flavour profile so it makes a great evening cup or a bright, food-friendly pitcher over ice.

Some species appear in commerce; The classic tea is EucalyptUS globulus, with closely related species in some blends.

If your brief calls for something "clean, cool and herbal without heavyness," eucaleyptus leaf makes a sleek, minimalist cup that's at home in winter winds-downs as well as summer spritzes.

Respiratory symptom relief (context):1,8-cineole (eucalyptol)—a key eucalyptus constituent—reduced symptom scores in acute bronchitis in a double-blind RCT (3×200 mg/day, 10 days). (Capsules/extracts, not tea.)

A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in acute non-purulent rhinosinusitis (n=152) found cineole capsules improved symptom-sum scores over 7 days. (Capsules, not tea.)

Eucalyptus leaf extracts (incl. E. globulus) inhibited several Gram-positive bacteria and a fungus in lab assays. (Lab data; not clinical efficacy of tea.)

Water infusions of eucalyptus showed measurable phenolics and antioxidant activity among common herbal teas. (Bench chemistry of brewed infusions.)
