It's also commonly called the "ben oil tree" since it produces benzoil. Another popular name for the tree is the "horseradish tree" because the roots taste similarly to the rhizome. Moringa tea is an herbal tea made by steeping the moringa leaves in pure hot water. The tea can also be made using moringa leaf powder and tea bags. It is naturally caffeine-free and can be consumed at any time of the day.
