Ingredients
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
One of the best-known herbs in Ayurvedic tradition, ashwagandha has been used for centuries and is classified by modern herbalists as an adaptogenic herb. It is commonly incorporated into herbal wellness routines centered around resilience, balance, and supporting the body during periods of occasional stress.
Holy Basil / Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum)
Holy basil, also known as tulsi, has a long and respected history in Ayurvedic herbal traditions. Aromatic and uplifting, it is traditionally enjoyed to encourage balance and is a popular botanical in herbal blends formulated for stressful or demanding seasons of life.
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)
A wonderfully aromatic member of the mint family, lemon balm has been treasured by herbalists for centuries. Traditionally associated with calm and relaxation, it brings a fresh, gently lemony flavor to the blend.
Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla)
Chamomile is one of the world's most beloved traditional calming herbs. Its delicate flowers have been enjoyed for generations as an evening tea and as part of rituals centered around relaxation, rest, and unwinding.
Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis)
Naturally caffeine free and rich in flavor, rooibos provides a smooth, mellow foundation for Cortisol Calm. Native to South Africa, rooibos has a naturally pleasant flavor and contains naturally occurring plant antioxidants.
Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa)
Hibiscus gives this blend a beautiful color and refreshing tartness. Its bright, fruity character balances the deeper earthy herbs and provides naturally occurring antioxidants and beneficial plant compounds.
Rosehips (Rosa canina)
Fruity and pleasantly tart, rosehips complement hibiscus beautifully. They have a long history of culinary and herbal use and are naturally rich in vitamin C and antioxidant plant compounds.
Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum)
Often called "true cinnamon," Ceylon cinnamon provides a warm, gently sweet spice that brings the entire blend together. Its comforting aroma adds depth without overpowering the more delicate herbs.
We strongly encourage you to do your own research into each of the herbs in our tea blends to discover their history, traditional uses, and the true scope of their benefits.
Suggested Use
Steep 1–3 teaspoons of tea in 8–10 oz of just-boiled water for 10–15 minutes, or to taste.
Strain and enjoy as-is or sweeten with honey if desired.
Enjoy as part of your daily wellness routine, particularly during busy days, stressful seasons, or whenever you'd like to intentionally create a quiet moment for yourself.
Because Cortisol Calm is naturally caffeine free, it can also be enjoyed later in the day without adding caffeine to your evening routine.
Iced Tea Instructions
Cortisol Calm also makes a delicious herbal iced tea.
Use 2–4 teaspoons of tea per 8 oz of water, depending on your desired strength. Steep in hot water for 10–15 minutes, strain, and allow to cool before pouring over ice.
For larger batches, use 2–4 tablespoons per quart of water. Steep, strain, chill, and serve over ice.
Sweeten lightly with honey if desired. A fresh orange or lemon slice also pairs beautifully with the hibiscus, rosehips, and cinnamon.
Brewing Note
Cortisol Calm contains everything from delicate flowers and leaves to roots, fruits, and warming spices, so the character of the tea can change considerably depending on your brewing method.
For a lighter, more delicate cup, begin with approximately 1 teaspoon and a shorter steep. For a deeper, more robust herbal infusion, increase the amount of tea and allow it to steep longer.
We encourage you to experiment until you discover the cup that feels just right for you.
This blend is especially lovely served warm with a dollop of honey.
Loose leaf only, packaged in a resealable kraft bag.
Herbalist Notes
Stress is a normal part of life, and overall wellness is influenced by many interconnected factors—including rest, nutrition, movement, relationships, daily habits, and making time to decompress.
Cortisol Calm was formulated around several traditional botanical allies that have long histories of use in herbal traditions centered around calm, resilience, relaxation, and balance.
Rather than treating your cup of tea as one more thing on your to-do list, we encourage you to make brewing Cortisol Calm part of the ritual itself: steep your tea, put down the phone, find a quiet spot, and give yourself a few minutes to simply be.
Sometimes the ritual of slowing down is just as valuable as what's in the cup.
