How to use it

As a herbal tea

2. Water at about 80°C
3. Cover and leave to infuse for 6 to 8 minutes
4. Strain and enjoy

In professional blends

Ravintsara leaves blend very well with plants traditionally associated with breathing comfort and the changing seasons: hyssop, mallow, plantain, marjoram, elderflower, nettle. That is exactly the idea behind our Latsaka, Mievona and Ririnina herbal teas — here, you build your own.

As a decoction

For more structured uses: boil 1 tablespoon of leaves in 250 ml of water for 5 minutes, leave to stand, covered, for 10 minutes, then strain.

A genuine direct supply chain in Madagascar

The leaves in this bag are hand-harvested by our team on the Malagasy Highlands, dried to our standards and cut to herbalist size (1 cm). They are the same leaves we distil for our essential oil, named Best Organic Product 2019 — and the dried leaves themselves were named Best Organic Product 2022.
