Natural Herb Teas
That Are Good For You And The Environment.
Noni is the common
name for Morinda citrifolia, a plant native to
Polynesia,
especially Tahiti and Hawaii. The leaves, stems and
roots have all been used by
Polynesian "Kahuna", or traditional
healers, for up to 2,000 years in foods and
beverages. Noni is
a small, blossoming shrub with leaves that can reach up to
a
foot in length. It grows an irregular, lumpy, egg-shaped
fruit several inches
long over much of the year. The ripe
fruit has a strong, pungent odor. The
seeds float due to inner
air chambers and can withstand prolonged exposure to
salt
water. Noni is believed to have spread to Asia, Australia and
the
Americans initially by floating seeds on ocean currents and
later by Polynesian
traders and settlers. Modern research has
identified several important and
beneficial nutritional
compounds in Noni. Our Noni Tea is made from the
whole
plant.
