Some herbs become popular overnight, while others have earned their reputation over centuries. Mucuna pruriens—also known as Velvet Bean, Kapikachu, or Poonaikkali—belongs to the second group. Deeply rooted in Ayurvedic and Tamil herbal traditions, it has long been valued for its ability to support nerve health, emotional balance, and natural vitality.
What Is Velvet Bean?
Velvet Bean is a tropical legume traditionally used in natural wellness systems for its ability to support nervous system function, energy regulation, and mental clarity. It naturally contains L-DOPA, a compound that serves as a precursor to dopamine—a key neurotransmitter linked to motivation, mood, and focus.
While capsules and powders are common, the gentle, restorative nature of tea makes it ideal for those seeking a slow-release, soothing herbal experience.

At FounditGood, we’ve brought this ancient herb into modern form through a carefully prepared, caffeine-free herbal tea that fits effortlessly into today’s wellness routines.
Why Roasted and Dehulled?
Preparing Velvet Bean for consumption requires thoughtful handling. The seeds are first dehulled to remove the tough outer coat and then gently roasted, in keeping with traditional preparation methods. Roasting is often preferred over boiling for preserving the seed’s naturally beneficial properties and improving digestibility.
This time-tested method helps reduce the harshness while maintaining the seed’s essential character—making it ideal for a tea infusion.
