The Matriarch Loose Leaf Tea

The Matriarch - A Tribute to Mothers

Mother's Day has long been associated with gifting flowers, carrying symbolic meaning rooted in herbalism. Flowers have historically been given to convey love, appreciation, and gratitude as well as providing herbal medicine to those that we love.  By blending these traditions, *The Matriarch* encapsulates the essence of this special day, offering a tribute that speaks to the heart.

This exquisite tea combines the robust character of Assam black tea with the delicate elegance of calendula, borage, and rose flowers. Each sip offers a symphony of flavors: the bold and malty notes of Assam are perfectly balanced by the floral sweetness of the blossoms, creating a cup that's as comforting as a mother's embrace.

Herbal Benefits:

When taken internally, a key benefit of borage is its potential to reduce inflammation, thanks to its high content of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid. GLA may help regulate the body's inflammatory response, potentially benefiting conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and eczema. Additionally, borage oil is sometimes used as a natural remedy to support hormonal balance, potentially providing relief from premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menopause symptoms.

When taken internally, a key benefit of calendula is its potential to promote digestive health. Calendula possesses anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that may help soothe gastrointestinal issues, such as ulcers, gastritis, and colitis. It has also been traditionally used to support liver health and improve bile flow, which can aid in digestion. Additionally, its mild diuretic effect might assist in flushing out toxins from the body, contributing to overall health.

When taken internally, one key benefit of rose is its potential to support digestive health. Rose contains compounds that can have a gentle, soothing effect on the stomach lining, which may help alleviate symptoms like bloating or discomfort. Additionally, rose hips, which are the fruit of the rose plant, are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which can support immune health and combat oxidative stress in the body.
