  • Lemon Balm — fresh

    Lemon Balm

    A bright leaf for the gut and the mood.

    A member of the mint family, grown for its soft lemony note. Lemon balm settles the stomach, eases the kind of tension that sits in the belly, and lifts the mood without pushing.

    Best harvested before it flowers.

    Ginseng

    A slow root for steady energy.

    Ginseng grows for years before it's pulled. It carries that patience into the cup — used traditionally to support stamina, focus, and the body's response to stress.

    Not a stimulant. A root that holds you up rather than pushing you forward.

  • Peppermint — fresh
    Fresh

    Peppermint

    A cool leaf to clear the head.

    Sharp, cooling, familiar. Peppermint settles the stomach after meals, opens the chest, and brings a clear finish to the blend.

    Cut just above the second leaf so the plant comes back stronger.

  • Ginger — fresh
    Fresh

    Ginger

    A warming rhizome for circulation.

    Ginger moves things — blood, digestion, breath. A small piece warms the whole body and helps the other herbs in the blend reach where they need to go.

    Slightly hot, slightly sweet, deeply familiar.

  • Sarsaparilla — fresh
    Fresh

    Sarsaparilla

    A grounding root that holds the blend together.

    Sarsaparilla is a vining plant whose root has been used across many traditions — Caribbean, South American, Appalachian — as a blood cleanser and a binder. Quietly sweet, slightly resinous.

    It carries the other herbs and gives the blend its bottom note.
