As New Year's resolutions begin to fade, I'm happy to still find myself focused on eating healthy and exercisingI Until recently, however, I didn't give much thought about what I was drinking. As an avid tea drinker, I drink 2-3 cups of tea per day of any tea that strikes my fancy. Needless to say, when I heard there was a "nutritious tea," out there, I was very intrigued! I never would have though of tea as a nutritional powerhouse - until now.

The kind folks at Green Virgin Products sent me a sample of their Gourmet Moringa Loose Leaf tea and Moringa Ultimate Super Fine Powder to try. I wasn't too familiar with Moringa, but the more I learned about it, I couldn't believe I haven't discovered it sooner. Moringa is dubbed the “miracle tree” and the “world’s most nutritious plant species ever studied,” this amazing tree is native to regions of Africa/Asia but can grow almost anywhere due to its incredible ability to extract nutrients from the soil and air. Its leaves are an all-around green superfood; with more than 90 nutrients! High in a wide array of vitamins and minerals it’s anti-oxidant rich (46 anti-oxidants), anti-diabetes (reduces blood glucose) and promotes heart health (lipid lowering) among other benefits. (see below)

Moringa is the most nutrient dense plant on our planet and has caught the attention of scientists around the world. It has more vitamins, minerals, proteins, anti-oxidants, and amino acids combined than any other known food. The tree’s use as a remedy for many health issues and as a great source of energy can be traced back centuries.

Moringa leaves are jam-packed with nutrients and beneficial properties. No matter how many times I read the list below, I am amazed at the amount of nutrients available from one Moringa tree:

90 different types of Nutrients
46 Antioxidants
36 Anti-Inflammatory Agents
18 Amino Acids and 9 Essential Amino Acids
10 times the Vitamin A of carrots
17 times the Calcium of milk
15 times the Potassium of bananas
25 times the Iron of spinach
9 times the Protein of yogurt
4 times more Fiber than oats
1/2 the Vitamin c of oranges (7x vitamin c for fresh leaves)
Anti-diabetic
Anti-hypertensive
Anti-tumor

"You can rest assured that when you get your moringa from us, it will be as fresh and potent as the day it was picked. That’s why we call all of our moringa - Moringa Ultimate!"

The taste of Green Virgin Products' Gourmet Loose Leaf Moringa Tea is similar in taste to a green tea, but with an earthy flavor. I use about a tablespoon of loose tea leaves and place it into a tea bag filter, but you can also use a tea infuser.

Add a slice of lemon for a perfect way to start the day!

I also had the opportunity to try Green Virgin Products' Moringa Ultimate Super Fine Powder packets with14 hours of calm energy! The green powder can be added to bottled water, juice or the way I prefer it...in a delicious smoothie!

I am very impressed by Green Virgin Products. What makes Green Virgin Products so different is that they aim to deliver the highest quality healthy products. After sampling numerous moringa products from some of the largest and most reputable moringa manufacturers, they noticed that all the moringa was oxidized. The once nutrient packed leaves were a faded green or brownish color and had little nutrition left. Green Virgin Products consulted with scientists and growers for months to find the most effective and practical method to cultivate, process, and package their moringa. The whole process from harvesting to packaging is completed in eight hours to preserve freshness! There is no doubt that their moringa is by far the highest quality in the world. You can see and taste it!
