Nurture
Licorice, cinnamon, ginger and calendula come together in this warming blend, Leisa’s personal favourite and her go-to at any time of day. Licorice nourishes your adrenals, while ginger and cinnamon offer gentle circulatory and digestive support. Calendula calms and nourishes the body’s tissues, rounding out a tea that’s as comforting as it is restorative, with a little stress relief along the way.
Caffeine free.
Digest
Marshmallow, spearmint, fennel, meadowsweet and ginger combine in this gut-loving blend. Marshmallow soothes and protects the digestive lining, while ginger and fennel ease bloating and gas. Spearmint lends a refreshing flavour alongside its digestive benefits, and meadowsweet helps settle mild discomfort. Best enjoyed after a meal or in the evening, when your gut could use a little extra care.
Caffeine free.
Native Immunity
Echinacea, elderflower, coriander seeds, lemon myrtle and peppercorn make up this warming, immune-supportive blend. Echinacea is well known for supporting the body’s natural immune response, while elderflower has long been used to reduce congestion. Coriander seeds and peppercorn add gentle lung support, and lemon myrtle brings antioxidant-rich compounds with a refreshing citrus note. A healing tea to lean on year-round, built on native and Australian-grown ingredients.
Caffeine free.
Woman
Rose petals, shatavari, licorice, nettle and lavender come together in this feminine blend, created to support women through every stage of life. Shatavari is traditionally used to support hormonal balance and reproductive health, while licorice and nettle offer nourishing support, nettle in particular being rich in naturally occurring minerals. Rose petals bring a gentle floral note long associated with emotional wellbeing, and lavender encourages relaxation and a settled mood. A restorative cup designed to help you feel held, balanced and cared for.
Caffeine free.
*If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding or taking hormone medication, check with your healthcare professional before drinking this blend.
Surrender
Rose petals, passionflower, chamomile, tulsi and cinnamon make up this calming blend, designed to support sleep and ease stress and anxiety. Tulsi (Holy Basil) is an adaptogenic herb traditionally used to help the body adapt to stress, while chamomile and passionflower are well loved for calming the nervous system. Rose petals add a soft floral note long associated with emotional wellbeing, and cinnamon rounds out the blend with its own gentle, settling quality. As you sip the floral flavours, let it be a reminder to slow down and look after yourself.
Caffeine free.
Chai Love
Our take on the classic black chai, blended from ceylon black tea, star anise, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, black pepper and cloves. These warming spices have long been used to support digestion and circulation, while black tea brings natural antioxidants and a gentle lift of energy. Bold, aromatic and full-bodied, it’s a soothing cup that’s just as good for easing a headache as it is for warming you up.
Contains Caffeine.
Dandy Chai
A caffeine-free take on chai, made from roasted dandelion root, star anise, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, black pepper and cloves. Dandelion root is traditionally valued for supporting liver health, while the warming chai spices lend their own support to digestion and circulation. It’s the blend to reach for if you love the flavour of chai but want to skip the caffeine, with the added benefit of supporting liver and hormones along the way.
Caffeine free.
Skin
Cleavers, red clover, calendula, licorice, peony, spearmint and cinnamon come together in this lymphatic-support blend, formulated to nourish your skin from the inside out. Cleavers and red clover traditionally support healthy lymphatic function and fluid balance, while calendula lends its own gentle support to the lymphatic system and skin health. Licorice, spearmint and peony help promote hormone balance, and cinnamon helps regulate your blood sugar. Enjoy daily to support clearer, healthier-looking skin and overall vitality.
Ceremony (Matcha)
A pure, premium-grade Japanese matcha, ready to whisk into your milk of choice for a smooth, ceremonial-style latte. Traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies for centuries, matcha is made from finely stone-ground baby green tea leaves, providing a rich source of naturally occurring l-theanine. Because the whole leaf is consumed rather than steeped and discarded, you get a more sustained lift of energy and a deeper nutritional benefit than a typical green tea. Vibrant in colour and earthy in flavour, it’s a beautiful companion for meditation, daily ritual or any moment that calls for calm, focused alertness.
Contains caffeine.
Intention
Lemon balm, lavender, damiana, peppermint, ginger and black pepper come together in this vibrant blend, crafted to support mental clarity, focus and mindful energy. Lemon balm and lavender promote a calm, balanced state of mind, while damiana has traditionally been used to lift mood and support emotional wellbeing. Peppermint offers a refreshing boost to help sharpen focus, and ginger and black pepper add warming circulatory support to invigorate both body and mind. Together, these herbs create presence and purpose, helping you feel grounded and ready for the day ahead.
