Key Ingredients

Organic Lapsang Souchong (Camellia sinensis) — A fully oxidized black tea from Fujian Province, China, traditionally smoke-dried over pinewood fires. One of the most distinctive teas in the Chinese tea tradition, valued for its bold, smoky aromatic character.
Organic Kukicha Twig Tea (Camellia sinensis) — A Japanese tea made from the stems and twigs of the Camellia sinensis plant rather than the leaves, with a mild, slightly sweet, and nutty flavor profile. Lower in caffeine than leaf teas.
Organic Nettle Leaf (Urtica dioica / Xun Ma) — A botanical with a long history of use in traditional European and Chinese herbal preparations, known as Xun Ma in TCM tradition. Rich in minerals and widely used in herbal tea formulations.
Organic Jasmine Flower (Jasminum officinale / Mo Li Hua) — A flowering botanical with a long history of use in traditional Chinese tea culture, known as Mo Li Hua. Jasmine is one of the most widely used floral aromatics in Chinese tea blending tradition.
Organic Cedar Tips (Thuja spp.) — Young cedar branch tips used in artisanal tea blending for their resinous, forest aromatic character, evoking the Pacific Northwest wilderness.

TCM Element Alignment

Wood Element — Cedar Tips, Lapsang Souchong, Kukicha: In traditional Chinese medicine, the Wood element governs the Liver system and the smooth upward flow of Qi. Resinous, forest-character botanicals and smoky, earthy teas with an upward-moving aromatic quality align with Wood’s association with Qi movement, renewal, and the Liver system.
Fire Element — Jasmine Flower (Mo Li Hua): The Fire element governs the Heart system. Jasmine (Mo Li Hua) is associated with the Heart and Liver systems in TCM tradition, carrying a warm, uplifting floral aromatic character.
Metal Element — Nettle Leaf (Xun Ma): The Metal element governs the Lung system and the body’s outermost boundary. Nettle Leaf’s mineral-rich, clarifying character aligns with Metal’s association with refinement and the skin barrier.
