Neem Tea
The leaves of the neem tree (Azadirachta indica) is where neem tea comes from, a strong herbal infusion native to India that is grown in tropical and subtropical zones.
Due to its broad application range, neem has been revered for centuries in Ayurvedic tradition and is sometimes called a "village pharmacy" plant. The actual tea itself is bitter and bold - a flavor profile derived from the plant's naturally occurring compounds - flavonoids, triterpenoids, and polyphenols.
In some cultures, neem leaves are steeped as a cleansing drink for balancing strength and resilience. This character - sharp, bitter, and strongly herbal - also defines it as a functional brew for things such as oral care, liver protection and not just a recreational tea.
