Mamaki Tea

On Friday at the farmers market, I bought a jar of māmaki tea.

Māmaki is a plant native to Hawaii. The leaves and its fibers have been used by Native Hawaiians for hundreds of years.

The tea is made from māmaki leaves and water. The process to create the tea can take hours. Māmaki leaves have calcium, magnesium, and potassium in them. When the leaves brew, some of the minerals dissolve into the water. Māmaki tea hydrates my body and gives my body minerals.

Māmaki tea sold at the local farmers market comes in a mason jar. I like to return my jars to the farmers so the jars can be used again.

For me, māmaki tea has a subtle nature flavor and is refreshing cold. Māmaki tea is caffeine free. 

I did not know about māmaki before having the tea. I do not think I have seen the plant. 

I like how people work with nature.

I like how I trust the farmers and I receive their product. 

I like how my body gets to benefit from the nutrients in the māmaki tea.

You are welcome to drink māmaki tea.
