Coffee leaves can be prepared as an herbal tea

Coffee-leaf tea is a herbal tea prepared from the leaves of the coffee plant (either Coffea robusta or Coffea arabica). These leaves, after being roasted,Шаблон:Citation needed can be ground up or crumpled, then brewed or steeped in hot water in a form similar to tea. The resulting beverage is similar in taste to green tea, but with less caffeine content than either regular tea or coffee.[1]Шаблон:Unreliable source? Coffee leaves closely resemble the leaves and stalks of Paraguay tea (Ilex paraguariensis).[2] In some regions, such as Sumatra and Ethiopia, only the leaves are taken from the coffee plant and the berries are left on the bush.[2]

In Ethiopia, coffee-leaf tea is called kuti and has been consumed for hundreds of years.
