What are Adaptogens?
Adaptogens are a unique class of herbs, roots, and plants known for their ability to support the body’s natural ability to adapt to stress, restore balance, and enhance overall well-being. Used for centuries in traditional medicine, these powerful botanicals help regulate key bodily functions—boosting energy, improving focus, supporting the immune system, and promoting a sense of calm.
Below, you'll find the adaptogens featured in our teas, along with the specific benefits they offer. Discover how these natural ingredients can support your daily wellness—one cup at a time
