Alfalfa Tea - 18 bag

The roots of the alfalfa plant grow hundreds of feet deep, giving it a variety of beneficial vitamins and minerals. Widely known as agricultural feed, alfalfa is also known to create a valuable herbal tea.

Also known by the name lucerne, the alfalfa plant is a handsome perennial bearing skinny green leaves and clusters of delicate purple flowers. It belongs to the legume family, a cousin to peas, lentils and beans. Alfalfa is an important crop in many parts of the world, and has been since it was first cultivated by the Persian civilization. The spread of the Persian Empire also helped to spread alfalfa, and today, it can be found in temperate regions the world over. Because of its high nutritional value, the plant is often used as livestock feed, but its leaves and sprouts are also frequently seen in a variety of cuisine, including sandwiches, veggie wraps, and this nourishing herbal tea.

Alfalfa is well known as one of the most nutrient-dense herbs found around the world. The secret to its intense nutritional value is in its astonishing root. The alfalfa root reaches deep into the earth, sometimes as much as 50 feet deep. This allows alfalfa to absorb many vitamins and minerals other plants cannot. The dried leaves that make up this refreshing herbal tea impart these vitamins and minerals into every sip. Alfalfa leaf tea offers a variety of vitamins, including five different B vitamins, vitamin C, E, K, and even the elusive vitamin D. It is also a natural source of calcium, copper, iron and magnesium. Furthermore, alfalfa is an excellent source of protein and digestible fiber, all of which are important to a healthy diet. Alfalfa tea has a smooth, mild herbal taste that makes it pleasant to indulge in any time of the day. It works well when enjoyed with a bit of sugar or honey, or a hint of lemon as desired.
