Buchu Tea

About Buchu Tea

Indigenous to the Cape region of South Africa, Buchu Tea or also known as Agathosma has been used for a long time as a digestive tonic to relieve stomach ailments, nausea, diarrhoea and flatulence.
Buchu Tea acts as an antispasmodic, and can also help with stomach cramps, and period cramps. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, buchu is also used to treat kidney and urinary tract infections, and prostatitis.

Usage of Buchu Tea

Some people say the flavour is like blackcurrant, rosemary, and peppermint, whereas others describe the taste as pleasantly spicy.
You can add fresh ginger, honey and orange or lemon slices to enrich the taste.

To make a buchu tea, add 1-2 teaspoons of dried buchu leaves to a cup of boiling water and steep for 5-10 minutes.
Buchu tea can be prepared as a hot or cold infusion.
For a cold infusion, chill the prepared tea in the fridge for about 1 hour before drinking it.
