Women's Wellness

Shatavari, the root Ayurveda calls the queen of herbs, anchors this small collection made with women in mind. It is one of the least familiar botanicals in an American tea aisle, and it turns up here in two forms: steeped from a bag, and whisked from a powder.

Women's Wellness Ayurvedic Tea is the one to start with. Shatavari leads a long roster of organic herbs here, among them ashwagandha, raspberry leaf, fennel and ginger, into a cup that drinks warm and faintly floral. It carries no caffeine at all, so the hour is yours to choose: with breakfast, at your desk, or as the last cup of the night. Sixteen bags to a box, CCOF and USDA Organic certified, in compostable abaca hemp with no metal staples.

Mornings belong to Ashwagandha Matcha Shatavari, which you whisk rather than steep. Japanese matcha, stone-ground from shade-grown leaves, meets shatavari and ashwagandha root in a two-ounce pouch of loose powder, roughly twelve servings, and it is the one cup in this collection that carries caffeine. Sift a teaspoon, pour water at about 175°F rather than boiling, and whisk until the surface froths. If powder suits you, our matcha collection holds more of it, alongside bagged green teas for the days you would rather just steep.

Evenings go to Chamomile Ginger Turmeric Tea, where Balkan mountain chamomile softens turmeric at a lab-verified 5.5% curcumin and a low, warming finish of ginger. Honeyed, golden, caffeine-free. Steep it covered and give it longer than you think you should; our note on chamomile before bed explains what those extra minutes do to the cup. For more caffeine-free cups made for the end of the day, look through our sleep teas.

Nothing here is a schedule to keep. Ayurveda has always treated repetition as the point, a cup at the same time each day rather than a course to finish, and these blends keep good company in any order you like. If the roots are new to you, our guide to five Ayurvedic herbs and how to brew them covers water temperature and steeping times for ashwagandha, turmeric and ginger. Each blend on this page is made at our FDA-registered facility in California.
