Houttuynia cordata tea (commonly known as Dokudami tea) is a traditional Japanese herbal tea made from the dried leaves of the dokudami plant.
It is naturally caffeine-free and has a distinctive, slightly herbal and earthy flavor.
Dokudami tea has been consumed in Japan and other parts of Asia for centuries as a well-known health tea.
It is traditionally believed to support:
Detoxification, by helping the body eliminate excess waste
Skin health, often associated with clearer and healthier skin
Digestive health, by gently supporting digestion
Circulation and fluid balance, helping reduce excess water retention
Dokudami tea is valued for its natural properties and is commonly enjoyed as part of a daily wellness routine, although its benefits are based on traditional use rather than modern medical claims.
