This tea may not sound appealing by its name, but this tropical fruit has much more to its story than name alone. Alternatively known as bitter gourd and goya in Japan, bitter melon is a long, bumpy green fruit similar in appearance to a cucumber or zucchini. It can be found in tropical areas of Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. In Okinawa, Japan's southernmost island, bitter melon is actually favored for its bitterness, and is used in local cuisine, juices and soft drinks. While the fruit itself can be quite bitter depending on when it's harvested, its tea is much more pleasant, and can provide a unique and refreshing experience for a tea connoisseur looking to expand their palate.
