Organic Moringa with Spearmint & Sage Tea
This might sound daft but the only difference I knew there was between spearmint and peppermint was that peppermint was a stronger gum 🙈 I'M SO SERIOUS! But! For my women with PCOS, apparrreenntttlllyyyy spearmint has testosterone blocking propertie...
Organic Spearmint Tea
Whenever my mother even had the HINT of a cough, I would give her a tea like this to drink. I also had elderberry syrup that I'd put right into the cup as well, pair it with some honey and lemon? I'm telling you, you're good to go. 👌🏾
Organic Immune Zoom® Elderberry Echinacea Tea

Organic Licorice Root Tea
If you're like me, you love hibiscus. Hibiscus tea is just delicious, but when paired with hawthorn, you've got a great cardiovascular booster. Heart health is important and drinking this (and even turning it into an iced tea 👀) wouldn't hurt if you...
Organic Hawthorn & Hibiscus Tea
This is another one that I'm currently diving into myself, because reishi claims to be an immune booster as well as stress reliever… and I could always use that.
Organic Reishi Mushroom with Rooibos & Orange Peel Tea
Organic Tea Companies to Support
One of the things that I try to do, as much as I can, is go organic. My mother was like so biiiiggg on this like if you can, if you can afford it, take the organic option over the regular smegular. There IS a difference (I know I can personally taste...
