TEA is an infusion made only with leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant. Which is a species of evergreen shrub or small tree in the flowering plant family Theaceae, which is where we get the name “TEA”, or Thé in French.
The different teas- Black, White, Green, Yellow, Pu-erh, Purple, Oolong, and Matcha-are all from the SAME PLANT-Camellia sinensis, but differ in the timing and way they are grown, harvested, dried, fermented, oxidized, processed, stored, and served. Any other plant material that is steeped, is considered a tisane or herbal infusion.

White Chaitake Defense Wellness Tea
Organic Black Pepper: Black Pepper makes every other herb and spice more bioavailable, meaning when we take it with our supplements, food, or tea, our body aborbs all the nutrients and benefits of everything else to a much greater degree. Amazing! It's like YHWH's helper herb to make sure we are absorbing His goodness in everything good thing we eat or drink.
Organic Cardamom: Cardamom is a super- antioxidant with anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, cholesterol-lowering, and blood sugar–lowering effects! What an incredible, heart healthy gift from the Father!
Organic Ceylon Cinnamon: Ceylon cinnamon is high in antioxidants that help your body handle free radicals and lowers your risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Ceylon cinnamon is also rich in the mineral manganese which helps body manage the enzymes that produce hormones and help repair your bones!Organic Clove: Cloves are very high in the compound eugenol, which has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, and pain-relieving properties!
Organic Ginger Root: Ginger root has too many health benefits to count! It is anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxodant, anti-nausea and more, but it was chosen for the Beautiful Me blend due to its flavor and its bioavalability-in other words, its ability to help you absorb more nutrients from the other powerful herbs in this blend.
Organic Maple Syrup Crystals: Pure maple syrup contains up to 24 different antioxidants. These antioxidants, in the form of phenolic compounds, are beneficial for reducing free radical damage that can cause inflammation and contribute to the formation of various chronic diseases. Plus, it has a lower glycemic index that most other sugars!
Organic Orange Peel: Huge amounts of flavonoid hesperidin present in orange peels have shown to maintain blood cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Orange peels are also an anti-inflammatory agent which helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
The huge quantities of vitamin C in orange peels help to dilate the bronchial tubes to loosen and expel phlegm, and ease chest congestion. Natural Vitamin C, (NOT the synthetic versions found in most supplements), also combats detrimental toxins from oxidising healthy cells, triggers immunity and helps prevent infections, colds, and flus.
Organic Shiitake Mushrooms: Besides being another powerful anti-inflammatory in this blend, Shiitake are rich in polysaccharides like lentinans and other beta-glucans. These compounds protect against cell damage, help your immune system, and boost white blood cell production for fighting off viral and bacterial infections.
Organic Star Anise: Star Anise has been shown to be effective against multiple drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria. Some of the major health-promoting compounds found in Star Anise include Linalool, Quercetin, Anethole, Shikimic acid, Gallic acid, and Limonene-these compounds contribute to the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, and antimicrobial properties of Star Anise.
Organic White Peony Tea: White Peony Tea or Bai Mu Dan tea is amazing for fighting certain cancers, aiding weight loss, improving heart health, high blood pressure, and oral health, and has antioxidant properties that can boost your immune system!
