Health Claims 

Our interest in discovering health-promoting foods and beverages has substantially grown as we become more conscious of what we habitually consume. This naturally involved looking into indigenous cultures where minimally processed ingredients are found to be the key to their relatively good health and wellbeing. Coffee leaf tea fits into this interest in shifting our consumption patterns to natural products and recent peer-reviewed studies indicate we are onto something quite big.

The following are some of the benefits: 

• Coffee leaves are found to pack antioxidant properties with a much higher content than most ingredients considered to promote health, such as green tea and blueberries.
• Coffee leaves contain high level of manigiferin, a potent bioactive antioxidant found to be effective in the prevention and treatment of various conditions including diabetes, liver damage, and cancer.
• Coffee leaves contain high levels of anti–inflammatory compounds with a potential to regulate blood sugar levels, in turn contributing to the prevention and management of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
• Coffee leaves are found to be low in caffeine with levels lower than green tea.
• Coffee leaves are also believed to boost metabolism, which  in turn contributes to better weight management
