Bitter Gourd Tea Introduction

Bitter gourd is an interesting plant that not many people have heard of. Native to India, it was brought over to China in the 14th century and quickly started spreading throughout the world. Nowadays, this tropical plant grows mostly in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. It is most famous for its fruit which is considered to be the bitterest fruit in the world.

Its unusual taste didn’t stop people from making tea out of it. Also known as bitter melon tea, bitter gourd tea is made by steeping different parts of the plant including fruit, leaves, and seeds. The tea itself is not as bitter as the fresh fruit, but it still has quite the unique taste. So if you’re bored of usual tea flavors and are open to experimenting with new and interesting flavors, then bitter gourd tea is something that you must try. It is the perfect beverage for any real tea lover who likes to explore and go beyond the basic herbal teas.

The bitter gourd is a peculiarly shaped plant, looking a lot like a cucumber, with a rough, warty surface. It is actually very famous in Indian cuisine where it has been used for centuries to make different meals, often accompanied by channa chickpeas or hollowed out and filled with spices, onions, and garlic.

Apart from use in cooking, bitter melon was drunk as a freshly squeezed juice in traditional Indian homes. Even today, you can buy this juice in Indian stores and pharmacies. The Japanese and Chinese also included bitter gourd in their cuisine and for making beer.

The reason why this plant is so popular in the East is its incredible medicinal value. It is considered to be a miraculous plant and that’s what made bitter melon tea so popular. People drank the tea and have eaten the plant in different meals in order to preserve their health and get a massive amount of vitamins in their body without too many calories.

The healing properties of this amazing tea have been known for many years, going back to the Hindu and Ayurvedic medicine. Only in recent years has this herb gained popularity in the Western world and people started to recognize it. Many studies have shown what the ancient Asian people knew all along; bitter gourd is a superfood which means it is extremely healthy and good for you and drinking this tea can have so many positive consequences.

The only instances when you should not drink bitter gourd tea is when you’re pregnant. Although this is not medically confirmed, this tea could have bad effects on the pregnancy because of its potency, so it is better to be safe than sorry and not drink this tea while the pregnancy lasts. Everybody else can drink many cups of this tea a day and feel the positive effects of this incredible beverage.
