We Did It...
Zumbani and Marange
150 years ago, believing it would prevent diseases and infections, David Livingstone and Robert Moffat requested a commission to investigate exporting Zumbani from African jungles to mainland Europe as a medicinal commodity; the commission ignored that request in favor of gold and minerals.

Zumbani (lippia Javanica)
Early European settlers to southern Africa perished of Fevers, Pneumonia, and many other illnesses. Only after the locals introduced the ailing survivors to "lemon-bush" (Zumbani), did the settlers survive the sudden environmental and biological attacks to their bodies and manage to form a sustainable society.

Marange (Fadogia ancylantha)
A native southern African wild herbal tea traditionally only served to African royalty for promoting longevity and to ailing warriors for its rejuvenating properties, it is found nowhere else in the world. It is now primarily consumed for its "anti-diabetic" (effect on blood glucose) and unsurpassed anti-oxidant properties. See lab research data below.
A Little About Us
Here's A Brief Overview
It’s hard to believe when people they tell you that a near-death experience is the best thing which ever happened to them, until it happens to you. I could spend hours telling you about my profound epiphany but in short, that’s where my journey began.
I embarked on a strict path to live a healthy life, studying and exploring how to achieve a balance. Using plants and herbs as food became a focal point of my new obsession. From learning different cultural applications, historical uses and reconciling that with modern lab research, it’s amazing how many wild miracle plants are little-known or just plain forgotten.
These plants still exist in many jungles and forests around the world, within and around many underprivileged communities. It is possible to create a mutually beneficial trade with these communities; to help raise their standard of living while we benefit from these wild miracle plants in an uncertain future.
For example, in Africa, our goals are to assist in promoting literacy programs for children through Educating Africa™, planting trees through The Tree Project®, and digging some freshwater wells along the way. A mutually beneficial global trade is the major driving force, we all have a responsibility for each other!
How do they grow?
Our teas are better than organic, they are wild; untouched by human hands until they are foraged. They grow undisturbed in their natural habitat as they have for thousands of years. We forage sustainably to ensure that the plants continue to grow abundantly year after year.
The soils in which these plants grow give them their unique healthy content and flavor characteristics. Our harvesters brave the forest floors so that you don’t have to.
What are the health benefits?
The benefits are potentially numerous and wide-ranging based on in-vitro testing of these tea extracts. Test results are published in the U.S National Library of Medicine for the management and prevention of Diabetes, Arthritis, Pneumonia, respiratory illnesses, Malaria, etc. Plus so much more anti-oxidant properties than you get in your common supermarket-shelf tea. One New Yorker called it Tea 2.0. That’s good to hear, but honestly, we think it’s more like Tea 3.0
What else is out there?
We don’t believe our bodies were made to consume mass-produced factory-chemical food which, along with pollutants, have introduced innumerable ailments and diseases. We travel to different places finding wild herbs and plants which are nutrient dense and little-known or inaccessible to most health-conscious consumers; those super-plants which our ancestors consumed – natural, pure, unadulterated, what you’d call jungle plants. We find these gems in Africa, Asia and the Americas.
