The Blends
Loose-leaf tea uses whole or minimally processed herbs rather than the dust and fragments found in most commercial tea bags. Whole herbs retain more of their volatile oils, minerals, and active constituents. You steep them using a reusable infuser, strainer, or French press.
Add 1 teaspoon of loose-leaf to your infuser. Pour hot water over it just off the boil. Steep for the time listed on your blend: 8-10 minutes for Gut Alchemy and Femme Fuel, 10 minutes minimum for Circulate. The steeping time matters — these herbs need time to release. Sweeten if desired.
Each bag contains 2 oz of loose-leaf tea, which yields approximately 15-20 cups depending on brew strength. For daily use, one bag will typically last 2-3 weeks.
Yes, but we recommend starting with one blend and establishing that as a daily ritual before adding a second. Once the first blend feels like part of your routine usually after 2-3 weeks, you can introduce a second.
Start with the system that feels most out of rhythm. Gut Alchemy is for digestive discomfort and bloat. Circulate is for puffiness and sluggish lymphatic movement. Femme Fuel is for cycle irregularity, PMS, and hormonal mood shifts. Your most persistent symptom pattern is usually the right starting point.
The Ritual
Most people notice subtle shifts within 2-3 weeks of consistent daily practice. Deeper regulation builds over 4-6 weeks. Your body sets the pace, not a marketing promise. The key word is consistent: same time, every day.
Once daily is the baseline. Consistency matters more than quantity one cup every day will do more than three cups on some days and none on others. Pick a time that fits naturally into your routine and keep it there.
We recommend consulting your healthcare provider before using any herbal blend during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Individual circumstances vary and your provider knows your situation best.
If you are on prescription medication, please consult your healthcare provider before adding any herbal practice. Some herbs interact with certain medications. This is not a reason to avoid herbal tea, it is a reason to have an informed conversation with your doctor first.
