Saafara Teas, Seh-haw, 90 Grams/ 65 Servings Kinkeliba, Combretrum Leaves

Description

Kinkeliba also known as Sehhaw in Senegal contains flavonoid antioxidants, supports blood pressure, promotes digestion, anti-aging, physical well-being and the quality of sleep.* Kinkeliba is the most popular traditional infusion served in Senegal. It is served almost every day for breakfast or after a meal. Traditionally, Sehhaw is used to promote heathy life and has many medicinal properties such as anti-inflammatory and wound-healing ability. The leaves of this traditional bush tea yield a rich golden infusion. Unsweetened, She-haw's flavor is reminiscent of a cross between a ripe Puerh tea and South African rooibos, but with a taste that is uniquely West African. A modest amount of sweetener catalyzes the hidden flavors of subtle floral notes that dance around a deep, robust liquor with an aroma that beckons one to drink more and more of this healing elixir. Additionally, Kinkeliba is one of the highest sources of antioxidants tested among herbal teas and was selected as one of the 50 most important African medicinal plants by the Association for African Medicinal Plant Standards. The traditional uses of Kinkeliba has extended beyond western Africa; once expatriates discovered the value of this species, Kinkeliba was exported throughout Eurasia, specifically France and Russia. Ancestors and missionaries called it "infusion of long life." Why do we call this tisane Seh~haw? Seh~haw is the mystic name of leaf. Ancestors and the Holy Saint Amadou Bamba, a well-known holy figure in Senegal, emphasized that calling the leaf by its mystic name seh-haw will unlock even more properties to heal your body. Ancestors would whisper their health concern when enjoying a cup of Seh-haw. Vernacular names: Seh~haw, sexeo,doute (Wollof)
