Wize Monkey Coffee Leaf Tea

This product was provided in exchange for an honest review.

I am a big tea drinker, and because I drink so much of it, I am always looking for new kinds to try.  I was really interested to try Wize Monkey tea, which is made from coffee leaves, which is unlike any tea I have tried before.

This tea is made by drying premium arabica leaves.  Such an interesting concept!  These leaves are harvested in Nicaragua year-round, which helps local farmers have a more steady income, as coffee beans can only be harvested 3 months of the year.  Wize Monkey places a lot of importance on their workers – “We pride ourselves on having very high standards of working conditions and compensation.”  You can even check out interviews with their farmers on their website.

I love green tea, and this coffee leaf tea is a great alternative.  It has a really rich flavor, lots of antioxidants, and a small amount of caffeine.

Independent testing has proven that coffee leaf tea has more antioxidants than green tea, yet it only contains 12mg of caffeine per serving (same as a decaf coffee).

You steep this just like regular tea.

The tea steeps in 3-4 minutes, and I compost the tea bag when I’m done.

I love the flavor of this tea, which has a rich, almost roasted taste.  The taste is unlike any teas I have had, with an earthy taste.  I don’t add anything to it (no sugar), and it is enjoyable at any meal or in between.

This tea has no additives and no questionable ingredients – just 100% Arabica coffee leaves.  It is an enjoyable tea for any time of day and I like the flavor and the health benefits.

Overall, this is such a unique concept for tea, and I have really been enjoying it.  I am excited for their new flavors to come, including mango and mint!
