Essiac Tea is a traditional four-herb decoction built on one of herbalism’s most enduring formulas.
Instead of following modern trends, it honors a time-tested approach: carefully selected botanicals, slowly prepared, and enjoyed as part of aconsistent wellness routine. Some traditions have endured for generations because they simply deserve to.
Every serving begins with four herbs – burdock root, sheep sorrel, slippery elm bark, and turkey rhubarb root – blended in their traditional balance. Unlike an instant drink mix, Essiac Tea is meant to be slowly brewed, allowing the herbs to release their naturally occurring compounds into a rich, earthy infusion appreciated by herbal enthusiasts for decades.
The work begins in our stillroom, where every botanical is weighed by hand and blended in small batches for consistency and quality. There are no fillers, sweeteners, flavorings,
flow agents, or unnecessary additives in this blend. Just the traditional four herbs, thoughtfully prepared to honor a time tested herbal tradition.
THE FOUR HERBS
Burdock Root — Arctium lappa

plant compounds, it provides the earthy backbone that gives Essiac Tea much of its character.

Slippery Elm Bark — Ulmus rubra
Known for its naturally soothing mucilage, slippery elm bark has a long history of traditional use to
support digestive comfort. It also lends a smooth,rounded body to the finished tea.
Turkey Rhubarb Root — Rheum palmatum
The final piece of the traditional formula, turkey rhubarb root has been used in herbal traditions for centuries. Its bold character complements the other botanicals, bringing balance and completing this time-honored blend
