loose leaf GUMBI GUMBI  (Pittosporum angustifolium)

Your choice - whole leaves so that you can crush as required and thus retain the maximum goodness and flavour or flakes

The listed weight is the shipping weight.

Suggested usage as a tea:

Bring 1 litre of water to the boil.

Add 1½ teaspoons (or roughly chop 30 leaves with kitchen scissors) of Gumbi Gumbi. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Strain into a glass jar and top up to 1 litre by adding boiled water. Add honey if you like. Seal the jar and refrigerate. 

Some have suggested that you should consume the entire litre at once and then make up a second batch to be consumed each week either hot or cold by drinking an amount of 120 ml daily with your meals. 

Quantities can be adjusted to suit.  Some people report benefit from doubling the amount of leaf. While others prefer to chew the leaves. But be warned, it is bitter.


Store in a cool, dry place.

    I brew these leaves as a tea with lemon myrtle and honey, using as directed. Despite the bitterness of the Gumbi I feel better for having drunk it.
