After learning about the science behind golden camellia tea, Gymnema sylvestre, and why these two herbs complement each other, here’s a closer look at KINKA Diabetea — the product that combines both herbs in one blend, part of the KINKA Tea & Coffee from Truong Duong Group.
Important note: KINKA Diabetea is a regular food product, not a drug, and is not a substitute for diabetes treatment. Information in this article is for general reference. People with diabetes should follow their doctor’s treatment plan and consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if you’re on medication.

Ingredients
Per the ratio printed on the packaging, KINKA Diabetea is blended from:
- 48% golden camellia tea (Gia Lai golden camellia leaf), pan-fired — leaf, not flower, of the golden camellia plant (Camellia flava), making up the largest share of the blend.
- 40% Gymnema sylvestre, dried — a substantial share, confirming this is the second core herbal ingredient alongside golden camellia tea.
- 12% black tea and stevia, dried — black tea adds a fuller-bodied flavor to the blend; stevia gives a naturally sweet aftertaste, without refined sugar.

Note: the name printed on the physical packaging is “Golden Camellia Tea Gia Lai & Gymnema Sylvestre” — “Diabetea” is the name currently used on online sales channels (truongduongstore.vn).
Packaging
Available in 2 convenient tea-bag sizes:
- 40g (20 bags x 2g/bag)
- 120g (60 bags x 2g/bag) — suited for family use or gifting.
Reference Pricing
Prices are subject to change based on promotions and timing. As of the time this article was last updated (August 2026), the 40g size has a reference price of approximately 103,600 VND (listed from 148,000 VND). For the most accurate, up-to-date pricing, check the product page directly or contact the hotline.

How to Use
- Steep 1 tea bag in 200ml of hot water (90°C/194°F or above) for 3-5 minutes.
- Or steep 3 tea bags in 1-1.5 liters of water for sipping throughout the day.

Why Combine Two Herbs in One Product?
Golden camellia tea and Gymnema sylvestre act through different mechanisms in the body’s sugar metabolism process — Gymnema sylvestre leans toward directly regulating metabolism (sugar absorption, insulin production), while golden camellia tea leans toward antioxidant support and pancreatic cell protection, based on research from Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Lac Thuy. KINKA Diabetea is blended based on this scientific rationale, giving you both herbs in a single, convenient product instead of brewing two separate teas.

Who Should Consider a Different Product Instead of Diabetea?
Since Diabetea contains Gymnema sylvestre, the same precautions apply: not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or people with low blood pressure. If you’re new to these herbs and want a milder flavor, consider Gia Lai golden camellia tea on its own first. (See the full comparison in: “Golden Camellia Tea, Gymnema Sylvestre, or Diabetea?
