Goji Berry & Stevia Leaf Tea

Why people make this tea

Stevia (tian ju ye) is a remarkable plant. Its leaves contain steviol glycosides — compounds that are around 200 times sweeter than cane sugar, yet contribute virtually no calories and have no significant effect on blood glucose. For people with diabetes or those trying to avoid sugar, stevia offers a way to enjoy a genuinely sweet drink without any of the metabolic downsides of regular sweeteners. Nourilo discovered stevia leaves at a Chinese herb shop in Sai Ying Pun among an array of flower and herb teas — and immediately recognised their value. Paired with goji berries, which are deeply nourishing to the liver and kidneys and associated in traditional food therapy with eye health, fatigue relief, and cholesterol support, this tea becomes something both practical and pleasant to drink every day.
