To face the demands of everyday life, an herbal tea offers a moment of refreshment and pleasure. This blend has a varied aromatic profile, with bitter and herbaceous notes balanced by balsamic, citrus, and spicy nuances.
Its flavor is dominated by the vegetal notes of damiana, which are enhanced by the similar notes of savory and harmonize with those of muira puama. This Amazonian plant has a slightly earthy and woody flavor, which pairs with damiana for a deep and persistent base. For a balanced flavor, other aromatic herbs are blended: the sweet touch of lemon balm, the floral delicacy of helichrysum and verbena, and the aromatic notes of hyssop.
It's a blend that engages the senses with a touch of vitality, perfect for a moment of respite before expending renewed energy throughout the day.
The herbal tea mix contains herbs traditionally used not only for their sensory properties but also for their potential contribution to overall well-being. One of the best-known plants is damiana, whose leaves have historically been used as a tonic infusion for physical and mental fatigue. Muira puama (or marapuama) also serves the same purpose, with its roots, trunk, and bark traditionally used.
Additional ingredients include savory, parsley, helichrysum, and hyssop, plants prized since ancient times for their digestive benefits. In the herbal tea blend, verbena, along with lemon balm, promotes relaxation.
