The Origins of the Ingredients

Both lemongrass and rosemary have been revered for centuries in traditional herbal medicine across different cultures. By combining them, this blend harmonizes two powerful botanical remedies, creating a tea that not only pleases the senses but also nourishes the body.

• Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus): Native to tropical regions of Asia, lemongrass has been widely used in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine for its digestive, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying properties. In Japan, it has gained recognition for its fresh, revitalizing aroma and its ability to promote relaxation, boost circulation, and enhance digestion.
• Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis): Originally from the Mediterranean, rosemary has long been associated with memory enhancement, circulation improvement, and stress relief. Used in common herbal practices, rosemary tea is known to support mental focus, relaxation, and emotional balance, making it an excellent companion for moments of mindfulness and meditation.
