ADAPT

A professionally formulated adaptogenic blend tending to the adrenals and nervous system on multiple levels.

Purpose: If you have heard of adaptogens and don’t quite know where to start, this blend has you covered. Adapt is an herbalist crafted blend packed with adaptogenic herbs that specialize in aiding the body to find balance and resilience in times of stress. These herbs all work synergistically toward a common goal- restore the nervous system and adrenals. It tastes great and I can really feel the effects of drinking this after about 2 weeks.

Pick me if: You are showing signs of stress and it has been an ongoing issue for over 1 month. Even if you have tried adaptogenic supplements in the past, this one is likely to be unlike any other you've tried.

Flavor profile: Undertone of basil with hints of herbaceous roots and a cool mint finish

Organic Ingredients: Holy Basil, Amla berry, Peppermint leaf, Shatavari root, Schisandra berry, Eleuthero root. caffeine free

Understanding the Ingredients:  Adaptogens are a newer classification of herbs that must follow a strict set of guidelines to fall into the category. Many consider adaptogens to be a “one size fits all” bunch of herbs all perfect for everyone to help with stress, but I have been taught that is not the case. Though they are gentle acting, restorative, and actively help the body’s HPA axis (Hypothalamus pituitary adrenal-cortex axis) in efforts to restore balance, each one has very specific abilities, energetics, and ideal person match. It is up to us to learn about each of them to know who to call upon when in need. I did my best to create a comprehensive blend of adaptogens beneficial to many people who find themselves in a time of stress or old stress response. I’ve combined herbs that are not the most calming or energizing of the adaptogens, but more in the middle as restorative, balancing and nourishing to the adrenals. This blend leaves some feeling energized and some feeling calmed while others simply feel deeply nourished. That is what I’m going for with this one. It is blended with the intention to bring you what YOU need and your system will respond accordingly. It takes some time to see the full benefit of adaptogens so enjoy this as a daily tonic feeling its offerings to your much deserving body with every sip.

INGREDIENTS: HOLY BASIL- an adaptogen noted to soothe digestion, nervous tension, depressive thoughts, and out of balance immune activity. AMLA BERRY- a restorative tonic from Ayurvedic tradition focused on nourishing and replenishing a depleted system.  Wonderful for connective tissues. PEPPERMINT LEAF- invigorating flavor and helps the other herbs work well together. SHATAVARI ROOT- nourishing adaptogen focused on a healthy female system, moistening to dry states.  SCHISANDRA BERRY- liver tonic and adaptogen that can bring a calm focus to over chattering minds. Also happens to be beneficial for allergic responses.   ELEUTHERO ROOT- The original adaptogen.  Helps the body find a wonderful state of balance without over energizing or over calming.  Wonderful "middle of the path" adaptogen focused on strengthening and restoring a run down system back to proper balance and vitality.  

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 185 ºF water. Begin drinking when temperature is comfortable but never remove tea bag.

Loose Leaf: Use 1.5 Tb per 16 oz of 185 ºF water and steep a minimum of 10 minutes. 

The longer these herbs steep the better and more potent the herbal infusion will be. Add sweetness if you prefer.  May be re-steeped several times. Enjoy!

Earth first packaging: Our packaging is intentionally minimal and environmentally conscious.  The kraft bags holding our teas are 100% recycled and backyard compostable.  

Our unbleached, microplastic free tea bags are sealed with a food grade staple and no chemical sealant.  Each is compostable, as well as the herbs inside, once staple is removed.  They love to return to the earth.  

We are constantly seeking ways we can do better and lessen our impact.
