Lifetone Jackfruit Leaf Tea is a single-ingredient herbal infusion made from the leaves of the jackfruit tree, packed as tea bags in a kraft-paper pouch. The pack itself is labelled Jack Leaf Tea, and the leaf comes from one of the most recognisable trees in Sri Lanka.
The jackfruit tree belongs to the mulberry family, and its fruit is the national fruit of Sri Lanka, where the tree is known in Sinhala as kos. Its leaves are thick and leathery, smooth on one side and rough on the other. For this tea they are dried and reduced to granules, and the ingredient line on the pack reads simply dried jack leaf granules.
The pouch holds 20 sachets of 1.5 grams each. The printed method is to infuse a tea bag in freshly boiled water for at least 2 minutes, give it a few stirs and a gentle squeeze to release the full flavour, then lift it out of the cup. After opening, the pack asks for the contents to be kept in an airtight container.
It is made in Sri Lanka by Possible Green Private Limited under the Lifetone name. The pouch states that the company is registered under the Department of Ayurveda in Sri Lanka and is ISO 22000:2005 certified. A general warning on the back advises pregnant and lactating mothers, children, and anyone taking medication or facing surgery to speak to their doctor before use. It is offered as a traditional preparation, not as a medicine.
