Java Tea

About Java Tea

Scientific Summary

Java tea is a beverage made from the dried leaves and stems of the perennial shrub *Orthosiphon aristatus*, a member of the mint family native to Southeast Asia. It is traditionally used as a mild diuretic and to support urinary tract and kidney health, and its antioxidant content is thought to help lower blood pressure. Because the tea contains caffeine and theobromine, it can raise heart rate and has a diuretic effect; use caution if you are on blood‑pressure or diuretic medications, and avoid high doses during pregnancy or if you have a sensitive stomach.
