Inspired by time-honoured formulas and supported by modern herbology research, our Beauty Tea and Happy Tea bring the heart of Chinese herbal wisdom into an easy, delicious daily ritual.
Created to support skin health, calm the mind, nourish digestion, and uplift your mood, these blends are gentle enough for daily use and accessible for all, whether you are new to TCM or already deeply rooted in a healthy lifestyle.
Why Herbal Teas Work (and Why Your Body Loves Them)
Herbal teas have been used in China for thousands of years to support energy, digestion, skin vitality, mood balance, and emotional wellbeing. They offer a simple, approachable way to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of Chinese herbal medicine as part of your daily routine.
Many of the herbs in these blends have been studied for their effects on the nervous system, including modulation of neurotransmitters involved in stress, sleep, and emotional balance.
Classical Chinese medicine has long used these botanicals to support symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, restlessness, and mood instability. Today, modern herbology research continues to explore their potential role in promoting emotional regulation and psychological wellbeing.
Think of these teas as:
a warm hug for your nervous system
nourishment for your skin and overall vitality
your emotional support drink
a daily ritual that gently lifts you up
They’re simple, delicious, and designed to support you through every season, especially winter, when our bodies crave warmth, grounding, and internal nourishment.
