Purpose: Focus. Cerebral circulatory tonic herbs, also known as nootropic herbs, are blended together with the intention of assisting focus, concentration and alertness without caffeine. The entire body can benefit from the powerful circulatory tonic effect of these ancient and beloved plants.
Pick me if: you need to find some sort of attention span at your job that is less than attention grabbing. Or- need to study without the jitters, focus on a task that isn’t exactly the most interesting, find overall focus and alertness in your day without caffeine... This brew may just be right for you.
Flavor profile: Vegetal, minty, earthy, enlightening
Organic Ingredients: Gotu Kola, Brahmi (bacopa), Peppermint leaf, Rosemary leaf Caffeine free
Understanding the Ingredients: The focus when creating this blend was… well… focus! Sometimes we reach for a second or third cup of coffee throughout the day because we are needing to better concentrate, remove the fog, or break free of the tired weight we feel. It is possible that the body will not respond well to caffeine at all at this point and your system doesn’t receive benefit either. What could be of help is increased cerebral (brain) circulation, whole body circulation, and deep nourishment. Thats where this blend comes in. I blended Gotu Kola, a well known nootropic (cerebral circulatory tonic), nervous and whole system tonic that has sides benefits of relieving inflammation. I also added Brahmi, or Bacopa, that is a nootropic as well as a nervine that creates a calm and centered focus. I wanted it to taste nicely so I brought in two nice tasting herbs that also offer circulatory health which are rosemary and peppermint. This simple blend is nourishing while promoting circulatory health and focus and not over taxing the nervous system with stimulants which are actually depleting in the end. This blend is perfect for those that deal with anxiety but also need energy. It is great for late night study sessions or mid day slumps when you need to “pull it together” and finish a project. It's less of a “pick me up” and more of a “help me move forward where I want to go.”
Not your ordinary teabag: Our hand-made teabags are large since they are a full portion to provide you with the intended benefit and desired support. Each one may be re-steeped several times throughout the day. The brewed tea may also be saved in the fridge over night and enjoyed chilled the following day. They are each handcrafted in perfect measurement within a microplastic free teabag and hand stapled with a stainless steel staple. This is slow craft herbalism with care.

Loose leaf or bagged are both created in very small batches in our woodland teahouse from thoughtfully sourced ingredients and professionally formulated by Leah, owner and clinical herbalist.
HOW TO BREW:
Bagged: Use 1 tea bag per 16 oz of 190 ºF water. Begin drinking when temperature is comfortable but never remove tea bag. Add more hot water once the cup is finished for a second or third infusion for full benefit.
Loose Leaf: Use 1.5 Tb per 16 oz of 190 ºF water and steep a minimum of 10 minutes. Ideally pouring off bits of the tea as the rest continues to steep. I really enjoy placing loose leaf in a French press, pouring off the tea to drink, and recovering with more water for a full day infusion of full benefit.
The longer these herbs steep the better and more potent the herbal infusion will be. Add sweetness if you prefer.
Earth first packaging: Our packaging is intentionally minimal and environmentally conscious. The kraft bags holding our teas are 100% recycled and backyard compostable. Our teabags are compostable, as well as the herbs inside, once the staple is removed. They love to return to the earth. We are constantly seeking ways we can do better and lessen our impact.
