There are certain herbs that have been passed between women for generations.
Red raspberry leaf. Nettle. Spearmint.
Plants gathered from gardens, hedgerows, and old herbal cupboards and prepared as simple infusions long before herbal tea came packaged in brightly colored boxes.
Our Cycle Ease Tea brings together red raspberry leaf with chaste tree berry, dandelion leaf, nettle, and a touch of spearmint in a deeply botanical loose-leaf blend inspired by traditional women's herbalism.
RED RASPBERRY LEAF
Red raspberry leaf (Rubus idaeus) provides the foundation of Cycle Ease and contributes a mild, leafy flavor somewhat reminiscent of traditional black tea, but without the caffeine.
Raspberry leaf has a particularly rich history within Western herbalism and has traditionally been associated with women's herbal preparations.
Its longstanding place in traditional women's herbalism is one of the primary reasons we chose it as the heart of this blend.
CHASTE TREE BERRY
Chaste tree berry (Vitex agnus-castus), often simply called vitex, contributes an earthy, somewhat peppery and slightly bitter botanical character.
Vitex has a long and fascinating history within European and Mediterranean herbal traditions and has become especially well known within traditional women's herbalism.
Far more than a common garden plant, dandelion has been incorporated into European and North American foodways and herbal traditions for generations. The leaves, roots, and flowers have all found different uses within traditional household herbalism.
Here, the leaf contributes both botanical depth and the unmistakable character of a traditional herbal infusion.
NETTLE
Nettle (Urtica dioica) contributes a rich green, leafy flavor that pairs naturally with raspberry and dandelion leaves.
Nettle has a centuries-long history as both a food plant and an herbal ingredient. Young nettles have traditionally been incorporated into soups and other foods, while dried nettle leaf has become a familiar ingredient in herbal infusions.
Its deep green character helps give Cycle Ease the feeling of something that genuinely came from an herbalist's cupboard.
SPEARMINT
Spearmint (Mentha spicata) contributes the lightest and freshest note in the formula.
Its naturally sweet mint character lifts the otherwise green and earthy herbs without overwhelming them.
Spearmint has been cultivated as a culinary and tea herb for generations and has a long history in household herbal preparations.
Here, it plays a supporting role rather than making Cycle Ease taste predominantly of mint.
