Poppy tea is any herbal tea infusion brewed from poppy straw or seeds of several species of poppy. The species most commonly used for this purpose is Papaver somniferum, which produces opium as a natural defense against predators. In the live flower, opium is released when the surface of the bulb, called the seed pod, is scratched. For the purpose of the tea, dried pods are more commonly used than the pods of the live flower. The walls of the dried pods contain opiate alkaloids, primarily consisting of morphine.
The tea is consumed for its narcotic effect, and in small amounts for analgesic, anti-diarrheal, and sedative effects. Use of such preparations originated in parts of Central and Eastern Europe, the Levant and Near East, and Central and South Central Asia millennia ago. Small amounts can be used for pain and diarrhoea in animals and kennel cough; most birds are small enough to simply feed them poppy seeds for digestive problems.
This tea is depicted both in Asian literature and Western literature, and is depicted as being available in opium dens.
