Health Benefits of Cloves
Cloves are the aromatic flower buds of the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum), an evergreen native to Indonesia. Known for their sweet, warming flavour, cloves are widely used as a spice in cooking and baking. However, beyond their culinary value, cloves have also been treasured in traditional medicine for centuries.
At OzTea, cloves are one of the carefully selected ingredients in our Caramel Chai, adding both depth of flavour and health-supportive properties.
