Why are the tea bags black?
The natural healing compounds found in the leaves and roots of our herbal blends can be degraded by sunlight and heat over time. The black bags help preserve the useful life of your tea. They are made with recycled material to help reduce plastic waste. The labels are also made with post-consumer material. We do our best to provide sustainable packaging and do our part as responsible citizens of our beautiful world.
How should I store my tea?
Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Can also be stored in your refrigerator. For best results, use within one year.
Where are the ingredients harvested?
Great question! Our ingredients are sustainably sourced from a variety of locations worldwide. The majority of our herbs are certified organic according to the US Department of Agriculture 7 CFR Part 205. The rest are wild harvest in a responsible way that leads to preservation of that plant in its natural environment.
At times we will sell out of a certain product while we wait for the next harvest to be ready. If that happens, please be patient, they’re growing as fast as they can!
