Understanding the Ingredients: I created this blend to not only bring together ancient longevity tonic herbs from around the world all in one cup, but also to acknowledge the power in focusing on health. Not to “keep from getting sick” or “getting better” once something is wrong, but to focus on maintaining optimal health each and every day. This makes for an overall better life because you feel better. It isn’t that it necessarily makes you live longer, though that isn’t out of the question, but it helps the time and years that you have more full of life, vigor, and vitality. To do this, I of course wanted to look into the most famous longevity tonics from time honored herbal traditions. I brought in REISHI mushroom from traditional Chinese herbalism hailed for centuries for its immune system nourishing, anti inflammatory, and nervous system nourishing properties. I then added SHATAVARI and HOLY BASIL from the Ayervedic world of herbalism. Each known as a rasayana (lengthening of life spans). Shatavari is a nutritive herb bringing moisture to dryness and adrenal nourishment… a little bit of a libido booster too! Holy Basil is a remarkable herb bringing properties helpful to the digestive system, nervous system, emotional wellbeing, and much much more. I then wanted to assure that key systems to the body are tended to so I brought in HAWTHORN and ROSE to tend to the heart and GOTU KOLA and GINGER to bring forth extra circulatory health. Good blood flow is crucial to a healthy body. A balanced nervous and adrenal system are key to all systems being able to properly work so on top of the holy basil already included, I invited the original adaptogen, ELEUTHERO root. ROSEMARY for remembrance and ROSEHIPS are a delicious and gentle anti inflammatory to assure comfort in this wonderful body you’ve been gifted. CINNAMON brings synergy to it all for a well balanced, gentle yet powerful blend of whole system health. Be well my friends. May you live a long and simply beautiful life, appreciating the abundance that is. Nourish what you have and don’t take a moment for granted- it is pure magic.
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.
{10 pack is 2.1oz and 3 pack is .63oz }
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 12-16 oz of 190ºF 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 12-16 oz of 190ºF water and steep a minimum of 15 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.
