Moujean Tea also known as pineapple verbena or Bahama berry is a low growing bushy shrub indigenous to the Bahamas and very well suited to our subtropical growing climate. It loves humidity and heat! The plant is covered in tiny shiny leaves with a rough texture that emits a delicious aroma when crushed. It has been compared to vanilla, honey, pineapple, and citrus. The leaves and flowers are used to make a tasty, sweet herbal tea. Be warned that Moujean Tea does not tolerate drying out. In fact, once of it’s nick names is “I dry, I die”. Additionally, it can become a leggy if grown in partial shade, and it can become a giant if not harvested regularly (like the one in the photo with farmer French for scale). If pruned the plant can become a very nice, compact plant.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
When you receive your plant its critical to get it out of its box and into the light the day it arrives. It will also want to be removed from its compostable plastic wrapping and given fresh water to drink. Keep in mind, this plant was grown in the tropical humid climate of South Florida, so if it's terribly cold or dry where you are it'll need to be hardened off before planting outdoors. Visit our care instructions page for more thorough info about caring for your new plant friend.
