Moosa Tea

The new beverage includes dried fruit that can be eaten

By Prepared Foods Editorial Staff
Moosa packages
January 20, 2025

After months of dedicated development in the Andes Mountains of South America, Moosa is here — a dried-fruit tea. Consumers can drink the tea and then eat the fruit. The infusion is what gives the tea its burst of tropical flavor but also provides a way for Americans to get their nutrients from fruit. It also supports the immune system, making it the a companion for cozy fall and winter months.

Moosa’s all-natural fruit blends are packed with energy, vitamins, and antioxidants. With no preservatives, added sugars, herbs, caffeine, or additives, it's created using regenerative farming practices that restores soil health and promotes biodiversity

Grown on small farms, the fruit is hand-selected then dried — with oven and sun dehydration processes resulting in exceptional taste and nutrition. Empowering local farmers and creating meaningful job opportunities, especially for women in need, Moosa’s initiatives contribute to the community’s well-being by providing flexible job schedules and fostering economic independence for vital minority groups.

The brand was created by three friends from Ecuador—Fernando Monsalve, Samanta Ruiz Giler and Emilio Leon—who had a dream of sharing the bold flavor of South American fruits with the world. Thus, the invention of EDIBLE DRIED FRUIT INFUSIONS was born. The concept of enjoying a hot cup of tea, then eating the fruit afterward with a spoon, is already popular in other parts of the world. 

The three dreamed of bringing it stateside, and now they have. This health-conscious choice promotes environmentally sound solutions to bringing fruit into one’s diet. It’s a win-win, the kind of enticing unique guilt-free flavorful experience where one can revel in the natural essence of absolutely delicious South American fruits while supporting an endeavor that chooses to not only promote a healthy lifestyle but partners with local farmers only. 

THE BLENDS

●    Inmune Citric (Ginger, Pineapple, Orange, Tamarillo)
●    Tropical Medley (Pineapple, Blueberry, Hibiscus)
●    Mixed Berries (Strawberry, Blackberry, Hibiscus, Blueberry)
●    Passion (Passion Fruit and Pineapple)

To prepare: Just empty contents into a mug. Add hot water. Let sit for three minutes and stir. Drink the tea. Then eat the fruit. Indulge in the exotic high-concentration of flavor. Consider it a healthy alternative to tea, coffee or soda, complete with vitamin-packed fruit blends:  Passion Fruit (Vitamin C and Fiber), Blackberry (supports brain function), Hibiscus (rich in antioxidants), Orange (boosts immunity, high in Vitamin C), Blueberry (helps regulate blood sugar levels), Pineapple (aids digestion and promotes skin health), Tamarillo (lowers blood sugar/rich in antioxidants and vitamins) and Ginger (anti-inflammatory, improves gut health and eases anxiety). Moosa is in the process of developing Kosher blends.
