Java tea leaves smell similar to mint or basil when brewed. The tea has long been used in Asian cultures for its kidney healing and strengthening properties. It is highly effective for treating urinary problems. The plant’s strong antioxidant properties also help protect against free-radical damage and the signs of aging. A daily cup of java tea is said to lower cholesterol, increase brain activity and memory as well as increase overall brain function.
