The leaves of the Teak tree (Tectona grandis) have long been used in the same way as Indian Almond leaves (Terminalia Catappa) by South Asian Bagan plakat breeders/keepers.

​

The Teak leaves inside our Teak Leaf Sealed by String T-Bags are ground and packed into the tea bags. 5" x 4" and weigh roughly 3 grams and contain 4 teaspoons of Teak Leaf. The Teak T-Bags can be placed directly into the tank or put into the filtration system.

 

Alternatively, you can put the bags into a cup and add boiling water, leave to cool. The water in the cup will have the appearance of weak tea by the time the water cools and can be added to your aquarium. This will tan the water slightly and provide a very natural stream-bottom look to your aquarium. Unlike the Indian Almond leaves, Teak leaves do not color your aquarium water the same way, the color is much lighter, so they are ideal for Aquarists who want the benefits of Indian Almond Leaves without the tea stain color. Discard the bag after 1 week and replace with a new bag.
