Passion flower tea is made from the dried leaves and flowers of the passion flower. It is one of the herbal teas the Food Forest Kitchen serves for free to our guests. The tea is said to help with insomnia, anxiety, hot flashes, pain, and more. We get the passion flowers and leaves from our own gardens of course. You can find the passion flower vines growing at the aqua hydroponic greenshouse of the Thai Child Development Foundation. More information about the pandan plant can be found here.
