Native Hawaiians have revered the noni fruit for thousands of years, carrying it on their ancestral voyages for its powerful healing properties. This evergreen plant, known scientifically as *Morinda citrifolia*, is considered the quintessential Hawaiian medicine fruit, used in traditional practices for a variety of ailments.

This traditional herbal tea, brewed from the leaves of a stingless nettle species, is a powerhouse of antioxidants and other beneficial compounds that can impact everything from your mental clarity to your cardiovascular health.
