Loquat leaf tea contains antioxidants and vitamins to support skin and digestive health and is reported to have many other health benefits. Please check with your doctor if you have specific health needs. Leaves are slightly sweet and can be brewed and enjoyed as is or you can add a little honey or jasmine syrup (not included) if you prefer sweeter. Leaves are picked fresh, rinsed. and quickly sun dried to retain fresh green color and nutrients. You will receive large whole leaves. Simply chop up about 2 leaves for two-four cups (depending on your preference), boil and simmer a few minutes, remove from stove. Seep about 10 minutes, pour into cup with strainer and enjoy! The brewed tea has a delightful amber color and very subtle slightly sweet fruity taste. Drink hot or as ice tea. We enjoy it alone or with our home made Loquat Apple Hill cake. Leaves are quite large and we find we can brew several cups several times from a pot of 2-4 leaves still retaining the lovely amber color and flavor. Our beautiful and amazing loquat trees are grown from seeds from an old heirloom loquat tree "Maxine's Tree". Loquat trees were brought to the Sacramento, California area by Chinese and Japanese immigrants during the gold rush and later. Loquat trees have beautiful, fragrant jasmine-like white flowers, usually in winter, ripening to fruit in spring or summer.
