Roots And Leaves — Herbal Tea

Loose-leaf herbal blends, each built by an herbalist for one job.

Caffeine-free, organic, loose-leaf teas made fresh to order. Each 2.25 oz bag makes up to 75 cups, which makes them one of the better values on the tea shelf. No fillers, no flavorings, no sugar; just whole dried herbs, flowers and roots.

Who this is for

• You want a daily cup that does something besides taste good
• You're cutting caffeine and grocery-store herbal tea bags aren't doing it
• You'd rather drink your herbs than swallow capsules

The blends

• Liver Love — nettle, red raspberry leaf, dandelion leaf and root, milk thistle, peppermint, whole-leaf stevia. Traditionally used to support the liver's natural cleansing and digestion.
• Chlorine & Fluoride Detox — blackberry leaf, raspberry leaf, hibiscus, rose hips. Tangy and tart; for anyone thinking about what's in their tap water.
• Thyroid Support — thyme, fennel, lemon balm, stevia. Thyme-forward and, in the maker's own words, not the tastiest; add honey. Nutritional support only, not a replacement for thyroid medication.
• Allergy +C — sixteen herbs including nettle, goldenrod, peppermint, elderflower, rose hips, mullein and astragalus. Mild, with cinnamon and peppermint notes. Traditionally used through allergy season.
• Tummy Ease — peppermint, ginger, fennel, chamomile, licorice root. Very mild and refreshing; for bloating, cramping and an unsettled stomach.

How to use

Steep 1 to 3 teaspoons per 8 oz of hot water for 10 to 20 minutes in a covered cup (the cover keeps the volatile oils in). For a stronger brew, steep a quarter cup in a quart jar of hot water overnight in the fridge. One to two cups daily; the effect builds with regular use.
