Frequently Asked Questions About Ginkgo biloba tea
What is ginkgo biloba tea good for?
Ginkgo biloba tea is a herbal drink made from ginkgo leaves and contains antioxidant compounds. It has not been proven to improve memory or treat disease, and the amount of active compounds in a cup can vary considerably.
How do you make ginkgo biloba tea?
Ginkgo biloba tea is made by steeping dried ginkgo leaves in hot water, then straining them out. Follow the brewing directions on the package, since leaf cut and product strength vary; do not use ginkgo seeds to make tea.
Does ginkgo biloba tea have caffeine?
No, plain ginkgo biloba tea is naturally caffeine-free. Blends may contain caffeinated tea leaves or other ingredients, so check the package if you are avoiding caffeine or want to drink it near bedtime.
Can ginkgo biloba tea improve memory?
Ginkgo biloba tea has not been shown to improve memory. Most research on ginkgo examines standardized extracts rather than leaf tea, so findings about those products cannot establish that a cup of tea has the same effects.
What are the side effects of ginkgo biloba tea?
Ginkgo biloba tea may cause headache, dizziness, or stomach upset in some people. Side effects are better documented for ginkgo supplements than for tea, but stop drinking it if you notice symptoms after a cup.
Can you drink ginkgo biloba tea every day?
There is no well-established daily amount of ginkgo biloba tea proven safe for everyone. The strength varies with the leaves and brewing method, so follow the package directions and avoid treating the tea as a proven daily memory aid.
Does ginkgo biloba tea interact with blood thinners?
It may: ginkgo can affect bleeding risk, although tea has been studied less than concentrated extracts. If you take a blood thinner or another medication that affects clotting, ask your doctor or pharmacist before drinking ginkgo biloba tea regularly.
Is ginkgo biloba tea safe during pregnancy?
Ginkgo biloba tea is best avoided during pregnancy because its safety has not been established and ginkgo may affect bleeding. There is also too little reliable information to confirm that it is safe while breastfeeding.
Can ginkgo biloba tea help you sleep?
Ginkgo biloba tea is caffeine-free, but it is not proven to help you sleep. Some people may experience headache, dizziness, or stomach upset after drinking it, so it may not be a comfortable bedtime drink for everyone.
Is ginkgo biloba tea the same as ginkgo extract?
No, ginkgo biloba tea is not the same as ginkgo extract. Tea is brewed from leaves and can vary in strength, while supplements often contain concentrated, standardized extracts; research on one form does not automatically apply to the other.

What is Ginkgo biloba tea?
Ginkgo biloba tea is an herbal infusion made by steeping the dried leaves of the ginkgo tree, which is native to East Asia. It is not a conventional tea from the tea plant, and its use is more familiar in parts of Asia than in many Western kitchens.
The brew is light, mildly grassy and sometimes a little bitter. It can be sipped plain between meals or served alongside a snack; a squeeze of lemon can brighten the flavour. Nutritionally, it contributes very little energy or carbohydrate, especially when served without sweetener. If you are new to it, start with a lightly brewed cup and adjust the strength to taste.
