  • Subject: [NAFEX] Loquat leaf tea
  • Date: Mon, 01 Nov 2004 09:22:53 -0800

FWIW, I grew up in a Japanese neighborhood in Los Angeles, Biwa (loquat) leaf tea was popular with the older generation 50 yrs ago. Same with persimmon leaf tea (from the crispy type persimmons). Through the years I've seen persimmon (KakI) leaf tea in the market, but don't recall ever seeing Biwa leaf tea. Persimmon leaf was supposedly an anti-scurvy herbal tea-a source of vitamin C?
