Heart Tea | Hawthorn Berry Tea, Hibiscus Rose Herbal Tea with Motherwort, Caffeine Free Loose Leaf Botanical Tea, Traditional Herbal

Our Steadfast Heart Tea brings together hawthorn berry and leaf with tart hibiscus, fragrant rose petals, and a smaller amount of motherwort in a deeply botanical loose-leaf blend inspired by traditional heart-centered herbalism.


HAWTHORN BERRY & LEAF

Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) forms the foundation of Steadfast Heart.

The berries contribute mild fruit character while the leaves bring a greener, more distinctly herbal dimension to the infusion.

Hawthorn has an especially rich history within European herbalism and folklore. For centuries, hawthorn trees grew along hedgerows and field boundaries, becoming intertwined with rural life, seasonal traditions, foodways, and household herbal practice.

The berries, leaves, and flowers have all appeared in traditional herbal preparations.

Its longstanding association with the heart within Western herbalism is one of the reasons hawthorn became the centerpiece of this blend.

HIBISCUS

Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa) gives Steadfast Heart much of its beautiful color and bright, tart character.

When steeped, hibiscus produces a naturally deep ruby-red infusion with a pleasantly sharp, fruit-like flavor.

Hibiscus has a long history as both a food and beverage plant across Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East, and other regions.

ROSE PETAL

Rose petals contribute the softest and most aromatic element of Steadfast Heart.

Their delicate floral fragrance rounds out the tart hibiscus and helps soften the more herbaceous character of hawthorn leaf and motherwort.

Rose has been cultivated for thousands of years and has an extraordinary history spanning food, perfumery, traditional herbal preparations, cosmetics, and household use.

It also carries centuries of cultural symbolism surrounding love, devotion, beauty, courage, and the heart.

MOTHERWORT

Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) contributes the most distinctly herbal element of the formula.

It is naturally bitter, so it is used more sparingly than the other botanicals.

Motherwort has a long history within European and Western herbalism and became particularly recognizable in traditional women's and heart-centered herbal preparations.

Its botanical name, Leonurus cardiaca, loosely evokes the imagery of a lion and the heart—an especially fitting historical detail for a blend built around the idea of a steadfast heart.

Here, motherwort gives the formula the unmistakable depth and bitterness of a traditional herbalist's infusion.
