Betsara Organic Dried Ravintsara Leaves are whole ravintsara leaves, dried and chopped to a herbalist size of about 1 cm, for home-made herbal infusions or for your own plant blends. Long before the leaf was distilled into essential oil, people in Madagascar chewed it or infused it, and infusion remains its oldest traditional use. The leaves are hand-harvested by the Betsara team on its plantation in Sahambavy, on the Highlands of Madagascar, and this pouch was elected Best Organic Product in the Circuit Bio rankings.

Key Benefits

  • Pure leaves: only dried ravintsara leaves, with no blend and no additive.
  • Herbalist size: chopped to about 1 cm, easy to measure by the spoonful.
  • Simple infusion: one teaspoon per cup, steeped in hot water that is not boiling.
  • Free blending: pairs well with lemon verbena, lemon balm, linden, thyme, rosemary, lemon or ginger.
  • Organic and traced: certified organic FR-BIO-15 and hand-harvested in Madagascar.

Key Ingredients

The only ingredient is the leaf of ravintsara (Cinnamomum camphora), grown and hand-harvested on Betsara's plantation, dried to the brand's own standards and chopped to herbalist size. These are the same leaves that Betsara distills for its ravintsara essential oil, and each batch is analyzed in a laboratory.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make tea with Betsara Dried Ravintsara Leaves?

Use 1 teaspoon of Betsara Dried Ravintsara Leaves per cup and pour water at about 80°C (176°F), not boiling. Cover, leave to steep for 6 to 8 minutes, then strain. For a stronger cup, Betsara suggests a decoction: simmer 1 tablespoon of leaves in 250ml of water for 5 minutes, then let it rest covered for 10 minutes.

What can I blend Betsara Dried Ravintsara Leaves with?

Betsara suggests lemon verbena, lemon balm or linden for a relaxing cup, thyme, rosemary or sage for a more structured infusion, and lemon and ginger for winter preparations. The leaves also pair with mallow, hyssop or plantain, as in the brand's own Latsaka blend.

How many cups of Betsara Dried Ravintsara Leaves can I drink?

Betsara advises no more than 3 cups a day and no continuous use for more than 10 to 15 days. The leaves are suitable for adults and for children from 3 years old; for children under 3, the brand recommends asking a doctor first.

Where do Betsara Dried Ravintsara Leaves come from?

From Betsara's own plantation in Sahambavy, on the Highlands of Madagascar. The team harvests the leaves by hand, dries them to its own standards and chops them to herbalist size. They are the same leaves the brand distills for its ravintsara essential oil, and they are certified organic FR-BIO-15.

How should I store Betsara Dried Ravintsara Leaves?

Keep the pouch of Betsara Dried Ravintsara Leaves in a dry place, away from light and moisture. Once it is opened, transfer the leaves to an airtight container so that they keep their aroma. The pouch contains only dried ravintsara leaves, with no additives.
