Segems Natural Organic Kinkeliba Herbal loose Tea leaves 5lbs Bags. Kinkeliba means the 'Health Tree'. The curative leaves are used to make the 'Quinquellibas drink', a refreshing tea traded as Kinkeliba.

It can be brewed again for up to two or three brewing sections.
The Story of Kinkeliba as substitute for breakfast tea such as Lipton tea.
During the rule of Ahmed Sekou Toure of Guinea, the country was under sanction by the west and was isolated to punish the Guineans for refusing to accept the French as colonial master.
The Guineans were forced to turn inward for solutions and for breakfast they use Kinkeliba for tea.
This was the unofficial official tea for all Guineans during that period.
The generation now do not even know what Kinkeliba is and they import tea from overseas.
Older generation do remember the good old days when life was simpler.
