Our women's tea is a caffeine-free blend of 18 organic herbs built around shatavari root, the "queen of herbs" in Ayurveda. Crafted as an everyday cup for women, it tastes of warm cinnamon, spearmint and rosy-tart hibiscus, with a natural sweetness from licorice root.
Why We Built This Tea Around Shatavari Root
This Women's Tea is a very special blend to us. It was built around shatavari — what Ayurveda calls the "queen of herbs." If ashwagandha is the king, shatavari is the queen. And when we launched this tea, almost nobody in America knew what shatavari was.
We didn't create this blend to follow a trend. We created it because the tradition was already there — centuries of Ayurvedic wisdom, passed down through generations of women in India. Shatavari has been cherished in Ayurvedic tradition for centuries, and we wanted to bring that same care to modern women here.
This isn't a tea with three or four ingredients. We blended 18 herbs — cinnamon, licorice root, spearmint, shatavari, black pepper, hibiscus, coriander, fennel, ginger, sarsaparilla, dandelion root, raspberry leaf, chamomile, orange peel, stevia, nettle, lavender, and ashwagandha — each one chosen for how it combines with the others, each one organic. The result is a cup that feels like it was made just for you.

🌸 First sip: A bright, aromatic lift — orange peel, spearmint, and soft lavender 🍯 Mid-palate: Warm cinnamon spice melts into natural sweetness from licorice root, with a juicy, rosy tang from hibiscus 🌿 Finish: Smooth, grounding, and earthy — shatavari, ashwagandha, and chamomile settle into a soft, silky close

Our customers' favorite ways to enjoy it:
- Hot in the morning — as the first ritual of the day
- Iced in summer — steep strong, chill, and enjoy with a squeeze of lemon
- With honey — a touch of sweetness to round out the warmth
- In the evening — it's caffeine-free, so it makes an easy last cup of the day
How to Brew
Standard cup: Pour freshly boiled water (200–212°F) over one tea bag. Steep 5–7 minutes. Leave the tea bag in the cup for the fullest experience. Gently squeeze the bag before removing to release any remaining extract.
Stronger brew: Use two bags or steep 10+ minutes. Herbal teas only get richer with time — this blend especially rewards patience.
Our founder's make-ahead pitcher: Brew 5–6 tea bags in a large pot or pitcher. Let cool and store in the fridge. Each morning, pour yourself a glass. This is the method our founder suggests for this blend. Before making it a daily habit, please read the Caution note below the Details list.
Iced Women's Tea: Brew 2–3 bags in a small amount of hot water (concentrated). Pour over a full glass of ice. Add a slice of lemon or a drizzle of honey. A gorgeous rosy-pink cup from the hibiscus.
