Mamaki tea is an herbal tea made by drying the leaves of Mamaki plants, which are native to Hawaii and had been growing before the people of Polynesia settled in Hawaii. It is said that ancient Hawaiians drank the tea to purify their minds and bodies. Mamaki tea has recently become a popular Hawaiian souvenir, especially for health-conscious women.
