A deeply rooted botanical for intentional adult wellness rituals. Motherwort, botanically known as Leonurus cardiaca, is a traditional herb with an earthy aroma and distinctly bitter flavor. It has a long history in European herbal practices and was traditionally prepared during moments of nervous tension and emotional restlessness. This is not a sweet, casual sipping tea. Motherwort has a bold herbal character best suited for experienced tea drinkers seeking a traditional botanical ritual. Rooted in tradition. Prepared with intention. Used with care. Traditionally enjoyed to Support a calm, grounded wellness ritual Assist with moments of occasional nervous tension Encourage an intentional pause during demanding days Provide a naturally caffeine-free botanical option Complement other strongly flavored herbs in carefully selected blends These uses are based primarily on traditional history, not strong clinical evidence. The European Medicines Agency recognizes motherwort’s long-standing traditional use while noting that clinical evidence remains insufficient for firm conclusions. European Medicines Agency Flavor profile Earthy • Herbaceous • Strongly bitter • Grounding Motherwort’s bitterness is part of its natural character.

Lady’s Mantle Herbal Tea Botanical name: Alchemilla vulgarisAlso known as: Alchemilla, Lion’s Foot, Bear’s Foot and Woman’s MantlePlant part: Cut flowering aerial parts—leaves, stems and flowersNaturally caffeine-free ****Each individual tea bag contains 2oz of loose leaf herbal tea A quiet ritual for the days that ask more of you Monthly cycles can bring changes in comfort, energy and mood, sometimes all before breakfast. Lady’s Mantle is a traditional European herb with a long-standing connection to women’s herbal practices. Its soft, earthy flavor creates a naturally caffeine-free tea that can be incorporated into a comforting monthly routine. This is not a promise to erase cramps, regulate periods or “balance” hormones. It is an invitation to slow down, prepare something warm and make space for yourself during the parts of the month when your body may be asking for more care. Potential wellness benefits Traditionally associated with menstrual wellness Lady’s Mantle has historically been used in European and Balkan herbal traditions for menstrual and gynecological concerns. Lady’s Mantle has a long history of traditional use in women’s herbal practices and may be incorporated into a monthly wellness ritual. Traditionally associated with menstrual comfort and women’s wellness. Contains naturally occurring tannins Lady’s Mantle contains tannins, plant compounds responsible for its mildly dry and astringent taste. Tannins have been studied for several biological activities, but their presence does not prove that brewed tea will reduce menstrual bleeding or “tighten” reproductive tissues. Contains flavonoids and other plant compounds Lady’s Mantle naturally contains flavonoids and phenolic compounds, including compounds related to quercetin, rutin and kaempferol. Laboratory research has identified antioxidant activity, but human evidence for specific wellness outcomes remains limited. Contains naturally occurring flavonoids and other botanical compounds that continue to be studied. Traditionally used for digestive wellness European herbal references have discussed Lady’s Mantle in connection with nonspecific diarrhea and gastrointestinal discomfort because of its tannin content. This does not make your tea a treatment for diarrhea or digestive disease. Traditionally used in European herbal practices associated with digestive wellness. The European Scientific Cooperative on Phytotherapy identifies the herb’s characteristic constituents as tannins and flavonoids and discusses its traditional digestive uses. ESCOP Lady’s Mantle summary Supports an intentional self-care routine Preparing tea cannot make the laundry disappear, stop emails or convince everyone to leave you alone for ten minutes. It can, however, create a deliberate pause in the day. The warmth, preparation and repetition of a tea ritual can provide an immediate sensory form of self-care without promising a medical result. Why customers choose Lady’s Mantle Long history in traditional women’s herbal practices Naturally caffeine-free Mild, earthy and gently astringent flavor Easy to blend with more aromatic herbs Suitable for an intentional monthly self-care routine Contains naturally occurring tannins and flavonoids Offers a traditional herbal experience without added flavors What is Lady’s Mantle? Lady’s Mantle is a low-growing perennial herb in the rose family. Its rounded, scalloped leaves naturally collect beads of dew and rainwater in their centers. The leaf’s shape was traditionally compared with a flowing cloak or mantle, contributing to its common name and its association with feminine symbolism. The tea is generally made from the dried flowering aerial portions of Alchemilla vulgaris, which include the leaves, stems and small yellow-green flowers. History and traditional use Lady’s Mantle has been used in European herbal traditions for centuries. During the Middle Ages, the droplets that collected on its leaves attracted the attention of alchemists, who believed the water held unusual properties. The genus name Alchemilla is connected with this history of alchemy. The scalloped leaves were also associated with the mantle of the Virgin Mary, strengthening the plant’s symbolic relationship with women and femininity. Over time, Lady’s Mantle became part of folk practices connected with: Menstrual wellness Postpartum traditions Digestive complaints Skin and wound preparations Mouth rinses Women’s ceremonial and spiritual practices Historical use shows how communities valued the plant; it does not prove every traditional application is effective or safe. A modern scientific review confirms that Alchemilla species have been traditionally used in Southeast Europe and the Balkans for menstrual, menopausal and gynecological concerns, while also emphasizing the need for better clinical evidence. Scientific review What does Lady’s Mantle contain? Lady’s Mantle contains naturally occurring: Tannins Flavonoids Phenolic acids Plant sterols Small amounts of aromatic compounds Tannin and flavonoid concentrations vary by plant species, growing conditions, harvest, processing method and preparation strength. Laboratory or animal research involving concentrated extracts should not be treated as proof that a household cup of tea produces the same effects. How long does Lady’s Mantle take to work? There is no scientifically established timeframe for Lady’s Mantle tea to affect menstrual cramps, bleeding, PMS, cycle regularity or hormone levels. After one cup Customers may immediately experience: Warmth and hydration An earthy, traditional herbal flavor The calming structure of a personal tea ritual A gentle pause during an uncomfortable or demanding day The body begins digesting and processing extracted plant compounds after consumption, but that does not guarantee a noticeable physical result. With continued use Traditional herbal use often involves repeated consumption, but human clinical studies have not established an effective schedule, serving size or number of days for menstrual benefits. Lady’s Mantle can be enjoyed immediately as a warm, caffeine-free addition to a monthly self-care ritual. Human research has not established a guaranteed timeframe for menstrual or other wellness effects, and individual experiences vary.

Botanical name: Hibiscus sabdariffaAlso known as: Roselle, Sorrel, Bissap, Karkade and Flor de JamaicaPlant part: Dried calyces, commonly sold as “hibiscus flowers”Naturally caffeine-free *Each tea pouch has 2oz of loose herbal tea Bright flavor. Deep color. A refreshing botanical ritual. Hibiscus is not a shy little tea. The dried calyces of Hibiscus sabdariffa create a brilliantly red infusion with a crisp, tart flavor often compared to cranberry or pomegranate. Enjoy it warm when you want something bold and comforting or pour it over ice for a refreshing, naturally caffeine-free drink. Beyond its striking color, hibiscus contains naturally occurring anthocyanins and other plant compounds that have made it the subject of modern wellness research. It has also been enjoyed across Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia for generations. Potential wellness benefits Antioxidant-rich botanical support Hibiscus naturally contains anthocyanins, the red and purple plant pigments responsible for its deep ruby color. These compounds act as antioxidants, helping protect cells from everyday oxidative stress. Supports cardiovascular wellness Research has examined the relationship between regularly consuming Hibiscus sabdariffa and blood-pressure measurements, particularly among adults with elevated readings. Results are promising, but hibiscus tea SHOULD NOT be used as a replacement for prescribed medication or professional care. Hibiscus has been studied for its potential role in supporting cardiovascular wellness as part of a balanced lifestyle. A 2022 systematic review found that hibiscus consumption was associated with reductions in blood-pressure measurements in several clinical trials, although the studies varied considerably. Systematic review Encourages everyday hydration Hibiscus makes plain water considerably less boring. Its bold color and tart flavor can encourage fluid intake without caffeine. This is one benefit customers may experience immediately: it provides fluid just like other nonalcoholic beverages. It is not necessary to claim that it “hydrates better than water.” Naturally caffeine-free Hibiscus contains no natural caffeine, making it suitable for morning, afternoon or evening enjoyment for most adults. A flavorful alternative to sugary drinks Unsweetened hibiscus tea has a naturally intense flavor without needing added sugar. Customers who prefer sweetness can add honey, agave, fruit or their preferred sweetener. Avoid calling it “sugar-free” unless your labeling and product preparation meet the applicable requirements. “No added sugar” is appropriate only when nothing containing sugar has been added. What makes hibiscus special? Hibiscus is useful in a tea collection because it delivers something customers can immediately see and taste: Brilliant ruby-red color Tart, fruit-forward flavor Enjoyable hot or iced Naturally caffeine-free Easy to pair with berries, citrus, ginger, mint and warming spices Contains naturally occurring anthocyanins and polyphenols Can be used in mocktails, punches, syrups and tea blends It is a good choice for customers who want herbal tea but do not enjoy grassy, bitter or strongly medicinal flavors. History and cultural use Hibiscus sabdariffa is widely believed to have African origins, although its exact center of origin remains debated. It eventually spread throughout tropical and subtropical regions and became part of numerous regional food and beverage traditions. The same plant appears around the world under different names: Bissap in parts of West Africa Karkade in Egypt and other parts of North Africa and the Middle East Agua de Jamaica in Mexico and Latin America Sorrel in the Caribbean Roselle in botanical and agricultural settings The dried calyces have traditionally been prepared as hot tea, chilled drinks, punches, syrups, jams, jellies and festive beverages. Rutgers describes the calyx and flower as being used for tea, juice, wine, syrup, gelatin, desserts and food coloring across numerous cultures. Rutgers roselle guide That history matters: hibiscus is not a newly discovered “miracle herb.” It is a globally enjoyed food plant that modern researchers later began studying. How does hibiscus work in the body? When hibiscus tea is brewed, water extracts some of its naturally occurring compounds, including anthocyanins, organic acids and other polyphenols. After drinking the tea: Water is absorbed as part of normal hydration. Some hibiscus compounds are absorbed and metabolized. Other compounds are transformed by digestion and the gut microbiome. The body processes and eliminates these compounds over time. A small human pharmacokinetic study detected hibiscus anthocyanins and their metabolites after consumption, but absorption does not guarantee that a person will feel a noticeable effect. Human pharmacokinetic study How long does hibiscus take to work? That depends entirely on what “work” means. After one cup Customers can immediately experience: Hydration Tart flavor Warming or cooling refreshment The sensory enjoyment of a tea ritual The tea’s plant compounds begin being digested and metabolized after consumption, but most people should not expect to physically “feel antioxidants working.” Consistent consumption Clinical studies examining blood-pressure measurements generally involved regularly consumed hibiscus over multiple weeks, not one occasional cup. One well-known trial evaluated three servings daily for six weeks. Hibiscus tea clinical trial **Hibiscus can be enjoyed immediately for its flavor and hydration. Research examining other potential wellness effects has generally involved consistent consumption over several weeks. Individual experiences vary, and no specific result or timeframe is guaranteed. Enjoy one freshly prepared cup as desired. Individuals taking medication or managing a medical condition should ask a qualified healthcare professional whether regular hibiscus consumption is appropriate. Stronger is not automatically better More herb and longer steeping create a stronger, more acidic drink. Customers with sensitive stomachs should begin with a weaker infusion and consume it with food. Important safety warning WARNING: For adult food and beverage use only. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, attempting to conceive, scheduled for surgery, taking prescription medication, or managing a medical condition. Hibiscus may affect blood pressure or blood-sugar levels. Individuals with low blood pressure or those taking medication for blood pressure, diabetes or fluid balance should obtain professional guidance before consuming hibiscus regularly. Do not use hibiscus tea to replace prescribed medication or medical care. Allergic reactions are possible, particularly among individuals sensitive to plants in the Malvaceae family. Discontinue use if rash, swelling, itching, dizziness, stomach discomfort or another adverse reaction occurs. Keep the dried product away from children and pets. Breastfeeding safety information is limited, although hibiscus is generally recognized as safe when used as food. NIH LactMed

Lemongrass Herbal Tea Botanical name: Cymbopogon citratusAlso known as: West Indian Lemongrass, Lemon Grass and Fever GrassPlant part: Dried leaves and stemsNaturally caffeine-free *Each tea pouch has 2oz of loose leave herbs Fresh flavor without the fuss Lemongrass brings the brightness of citrus without tasting like someone squeezed an entire lemon into your cup. Made from the dried leaves and stems of Cymbopogon citratus, this naturally caffeine-free herbal tea produces a light, clean infusion with a smooth lemony aroma and gentle herbal sweetness. It can be enjoyed warm when you need a quiet reset or served over ice for a crisp, refreshing drink. Lemongrass has a long history of culinary and traditional wellness use throughout South and Southeast Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America. Its easy flavor also makes it an excellent starting point for customers who are new to loose herbal tea. Potential wellness benefits Supports an after-meal wellness ritual Lemongrass has traditionally been consumed after meals and used in herbal practices associated with digestion. However, strong human evidence showing that ordinary lemongrass tea treats indigestion, bloating, nausea or constipation is limited. Traditionally enjoyed after meals as part of a comfortable digestive-wellness routine. Provides antioxidant plant compounds Lemongrass contains naturally occurring polyphenols and aromatic compounds, including citral. Laboratory research has identified antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, but much of that research involves concentrated extracts, isolated compounds or essential oil, not an ordinary cup of tea. Contains naturally occurring botanical compounds that continue to be studied for their antioxidant activity. Naturally caffeine-free Because lemongrass is an herbal infusion rather than a true tea from Camellia sinensis, it is naturally caffeine-free. Most adults can enjoy it in the morning, afternoon or evening without adding dietary caffeine. Encourages everyday hydration Hot or iced lemongrass tea provides fluid with a bright flavor that may make regular hydration more enjoyable. Complements moments of calm The warm preparation, citrus aroma and act of slowing down with tea may complement a peaceful routine.  Human study Why customers choose lemongrass Bright citrus aroma without strong acidity Naturally caffeine-free Pleasant served hot or cold Easy to enjoy without sweetener Blends beautifully with other herbs and fruits Traditionally enjoyed after meals Suitable for morning, afternoon or evening routines Approachable flavor for customers new to herbal tea What is Lemongrass? Lemongrass is a tall tropical grass in the Poaceae family. When the leaves and stems are cut or crushed, they release a fresh lemon-like fragrance created partly by naturally occurring aromatic compounds such as citral. Although it smells citrusy, lemongrass is not related to lemons and does not contain lemon juice. Its brewed flavor is generally smoother, less tart and less acidic-tasting than fresh citrus. It should also not be confused with citronella grass. Cymbopogon citratus is widely used in teas, beverages and cooking, while related Cymbopogon species are more commonly associated with citronella products. History and traditional use Lemongrass has deep roots in South and Southeast Asian food traditions. Its stalks and leaves have long been used to flavor soups, curries, sauces, rice dishes, seafood and roasted meats. Dried lemongrass is also brewed alone or blended with ginger, mint and other aromatic herbs. As cultivation spread, lemongrass became part of food and tea traditions in Africa, the Caribbean, Central America and South America. In some Caribbean communities, it became known as “fever grass,” reflecting historical folk use. ThE name describes tradition, and it should not be used to imply that this tea treats fever or illness. Kew Science notes that lemongrass stems are widely used in teas, other beverages, herbal preparations and Southeast Asian cuisine. Kew Science What does Lemongrass contain? Lemongrass contains naturally occurring: Aromatic compounds, including citral Polyphenols Flavonoids Phenolic acids Small amounts of volatile plant oils The amount reaching a cup depends on the plant material, serving size, water temperature and steeping time.  How long does lemongrass take to work? That depends on the reason for drinking it. After one cup Customers can immediately experience: Hydration Warmth or cooling refreshment Citrus aroma and flavor The sensory benefit of pausing for a tea ritual The body begins digesting and processing extracted plant compounds after consumption, but that does not guarantee a noticeable physical effect. With regular consumption There is no dependable, evidence-based timeframe for ordinary lemongrass tea to improve digestion, reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure, promote sleep or produce another medical result. Human research is too limited and often involves preparations that differ from retail loose-leaf tea. Lemongrass may be enjoyed immediately for its fresh flavor, hydration and caffeine-free tea experience. Traditional wellness uses generally involve repeated consumption, but individual experiences vary and no specific result or timeframe is guaranteed. Important safety warning WARNING: For adult food and beverage use only. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, attempting to conceive, scheduled for surgery, taking prescription medication or managing a medical condition. Pregnancy safety information is limited and concentrated amounts may not be appropriate during pregnancy. Individuals taking medication for blood pressure, blood sugar or fluid balance should obtain professional guidance before consuming lemongrass regularly. Allergic reactions are possible, particularly in individuals sensitive to grasses or related plants. Discontinue use if rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, stomach discomfort or another adverse reaction occurs. Do not consume lemongrass essential oil. Keep the dried product away from children and pets. Traditional food use and concentrated medicinal use are not automatically equivalent. Pregnancy research is limited and includes concerns associated with larger or concentrated amounts, so cautious labeling is appropriate. Pregnancy safety review
