Milky oat top is highly nutritive, helping to strengthen the nervous system and relieve stress, making it great for those needing a little extra support in their daily lives.

Goji berries add a superfood element to this tea, providing adaptogenic benefits and supporting overall vitality, while orange peel and lemongrass offer a zesty, uplifting flavor that aids digestion. Hibiscus brings a tart, refreshing note and supports heart health with its ability to help maintain healthy blood pressure. Finally, licorice root provides a grounding sweetness, acting as a harmonizer in the blend while also supporting adrenal health and digestion.

The digestive benefits of orange peel, lemongrass, and licorice root ensure that this tea is not only delicious but also gentle on the stomach, promoting better digestion and absorption of nutrients. The balance of cooling and warming herbs makes this blend ideal for supporting the body’s natural energy without overstimulation, offering a perfect combination of vitality and relaxation.
