Category: Loose Leaf Tea
Cota or Navajo tea, also known as greenthread, Hopi tea, or Zuni tea, is a medicinal herbal tea native to parts of the Southwest. Used by indigenous peoples for centuries, this tea has a mild, earthy flavor.
Our cota is wild-harvested here in New Mexico. As a seasonal product, this tea is only available in a limited quantity. Once we run out, we won't have more until next year!
This luxury loose leaf tea is carefully blended and packaged by hand in a reusable tin or a resealable kraft bag. Our 2 oz. tin or kraft bag makes approximately 35 - 40 cups of tea. Our 4 oz. kraft bag makes approximately 70 - 80 cups.
Cota Navajo Tea (Origin: New Mexico)
Use 1 heaping teaspoon per 6 oz. water. Heat water to a full boil. Steep for approximately 5 minutes.
We recommend using a teapot, tea infuser, or tea filter. These brewing methods give the tea leaves enough room to expand as the tea steeps, resulting in a richer, more flavorful cup.
This herbal tea is naturally caffeine-free.
Cota helps to boost mood and aid digestion.
Navajo tea goes by many names, and is also known as cota, greenthread, Hopi tea, Zuni tea, and more. This medicinal herbal tea is native to the Southwest. In addition to being consumed as a tasty and healthful herbal tea, cota is also sometimes used to dye clothing and other fabrics. This herbal tea isn’t related to the camellia sinensis tea plant from which black, green, and other types of tea are produced. Instead, it comes from a species of thelesperma, which is a genus of the sunflower family.
Our cota is locally sourced and wild-harvested on Navajo lands. Cota thrives in the high desert climate of New Mexico, and can also be found in other parts of the Southwest.
Navajo tea or cota is naturally caffeine free. This means that it’s a soothing drink to enjoy any time of day, and won’t keep you up at night.
Navajo tea consists of the stems and flowers of a perennial herb related to sunflowers. The flowers are small and yellow, while the stems are light green. The tea brews up into a pale gold color.
Greenthread is another synonym for Navajo tea. This type of tea is also sometimes known as cota, Hopi tea, or Zuni tea.
