Damiana Leaf 4 oz Loose Leaf (Turnera diffusa) for Damiana Tea

Damiana is a small shrub with bright yellow flowers that grows wild across Mexico and the American Southwest. Botanists call it Turnera diffusa, and its aromatic leaves have been brewed as damiana tea in Mexican households for centuries. The herb is so woven into the culture that it even flavors a traditional liqueur from Baja California.

The dried damiana leaf has a warm, slightly sweet aroma with notes some people compare to fig or chamomile. As a tea it is smooth and gently earthy, with no caffeine, which makes it a common evening cup.

Each bag holds 4 oz of organic or wildcrafted loose leaf damiana from Mexico. Just the leaf, nothing added.

Loose leaf or capsules

The loose leaf is the cheaper of the two per gram and it is the one to take if you want the cup. You brew it, you smell it, and you can make it as strong as you like. The 90 capsule version is measured for you and you taste nothing at all, which is the point of it. Same leaf, same plant, two different habits. If you came here wanting something to swallow rather than something to brew, the capsules are the other page.

How to store it

Tightly closed in a dry place at room temperature, 59 to 86°F (15 to 30°C), as printed on the bag.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make damiana tea?

No. Damiana is naturally caffeine free, and nothing else is in the bag.

Should I get the loose leaf or the capsules?
