Organic maca root from Peru and ashwagandha from the deserts of Rajasthan, India, blended with ginger, tulsi, lemongrass, and hibiscus in our California facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Maca and Ashwagandha Belong Together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome teas are crowd-pleasers. This one is a commitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur founder calls this \"a very, very good formula — a very unique formula.\" He spent years sourcing the two roots at the heart of this blend: pure maca from the high Andes of Peru, where it has been cultivated for thousands of years at altitudes above 13,000 feet, and ashwagandha from the arid desert of Rajasthan, India — the same region where Ayurvedic practitioners have harvested it for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are not trendy superfoods sprinkled in for label appeal. They are the backbone of the cup. Ginger brings warmth, tulsi adds an herbal depth rooted in Indian tradition, lemongrass lifts the aroma, and hibiscus rounds out the finish. But make no mistake — you will taste the roots first, last, and in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blend exists because our founder believes the best teas don't hide behind sweetness. They stand on the strength of their ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Maca Ashwagandha Tea Tastes Like\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🌿 \u003cstrong\u003eFirst sip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, earthy, unmistakably rooty — the maca and ashwagandha announce themselves immediately 🔥 \u003cstrong\u003eMid-palate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm ginger heat with a grounding, slightly malty body from the maca 🌺 \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e A faint tartness from the hibiscus, a whisper of lemongrass, and a long, earthy aftertaste\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLet's be honest about the taste:\u003c\/strong\u003e This tea is divisive. Some of our customers say \"earthy and grounding.\" Others say \"garden dirt.\" We think that's a feature, not a bug.
