Guava Leaf Tea: The Ancient Leaf That Quietly Outshines the Fruit (17 Science-Backed Reasons to Drink It Twice a Week)

How to Make the Perfect Cup (Takes Only 10 Minutes)

Use 6–8 fresh leaves (or 1 tablespoon dried) per 3 cups of water.
Rinse the leaves well.
Bring pure water to a rolling boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Add the leaves and let them dance in the water for 10–15 minutes — the longer, the stronger.
Watch the liquid turn a beautiful reddish-golden hue.
Strain into your favorite mug.
Add a teaspoon of raw honey or a slice of lemon if you like — though many fall in love with its naturally smooth, slightly sweet earthiness exactly as it is.

How Often Should You Drink It?

Two cups per week deliver measurable benefits for most people.
If you’re targeting blood sugar, digestion, or menstrual relief, 4–5 cups spread throughout the week (never more than one per day) is considered safe and effective by most herbalists and recent clinical reviews.

A Gentle Word of Caution

Guava leaf tea is remarkably safe, but because it lowers blood sugar so effectively, people on diabetes medication should monitor levels closely and consult their doctor. Pregnant women should stick to moderate amounts.
