Purpose: Sipping this tea is like taking a stroll through the woods on a crisp, cool day. Beyond its delightful flavor, the herbs in this blend are exceptionally nourishing for your immune, nervous, respiratory, digestive, and circulatory systems. It's incredible if congested at all.
Pick me if: You love the forest, enjoy mint tea, and want something incredibly unique.
Flavor profile: Mint, pine, cedar, winter morning in the forest
Organic Ingredients: Peppermint leaf, Holy Basil leaf, Spearmint leaf, Juniper berries, Cedar tips, Myrtle leaf, Pine needles, Cardamom seed Caffeine free
Understanding the Ingredients: I blended this with the idea of a tea that could whisk you away to the Winter woods where things slow down and a deeper level of restoration takes place. I knew Cedar tips were a must along with the gentle enhancement of Juniper berries. That didn’t get it quite “woodsy” enough so Myrtle joined in seeing as it is so well associated with wood nymphs in ancient folklore. Myrtle is also lovely for digestion as an incredible bonus. I wanted to bring in the coolness of a winter breeze so Peppermint and Spearmint came into the mix with a dash of Cardamom to boot. Flavor wasn’t enough though, I wanted your nerves to truly feel nourished as if stepping into the forest so Holy Basil was invited to offer its nerve and adrenal magic that works so well with the rest of the blend. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
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 12-16 oz of 180ºF 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 180ºF 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.
