Our Process
Why use the highest grade and quality of herbs?
The quality spectrum
Herbal teas vary greatly in quality – they might all contain actual herbs, but the full make up of each herb, such as the essential oil content, may be lacking. As a result, the tea may not be as powerful (or tasty) as it could be; it might be completely ineffective, with no nutritional value at all.
One reason for the difference is down to the long road herbs can take from being grown to reaching you. Herbs need to be produced with care from the start, but standards vary enormously around the world. For example, overly harsh drying can rob the herb of its best qualities; too little can leave moisture causing mold to grow. Herbs are also graded according to their quality, reflecting the amount of extra care that go into assuring standards.
