An Asian Herbal Legacy
The crescent-shaped leaves of the ginkgo biloba tree have inspired and delighted onlookers since before recorded history. Astoundingly, fossil records show that these trees are descendants of prehistoric plants, making them one of the oldest species in the world, and earning them the nickname "living fossil". Once native to China, they are now found frequently all over Asia, and their pleasant appearance has led to their use in landscaping in temperate areas across the world. Ginkgo nuts, the seeds of these trees, are a culinary treat when cooked, especially in Japan, where they are served at special events. The iconic leaves of the ginkgo tree are also used to create this remarkable herbal tea.
Ginkgo biloba tea is marked for its fresh, natural taste. It is often described as mildly nutty, with a subtle, sweet aftertaste that many find enjoyable, whether they are a seasoned connoisseur or a newcomer to the tea world. Complement a fresh cup with a bit of honey, lemon or ginger to create your own stimulating blend. Buddha Teas proudly offers ginkgo biloba tea made with certified organic ginkgo biloba leaves, all-natural and kosher.
