Longevity

Flavor Profile:

Longevity Herbal Tea is richly complex, bright, slightly sweet, and spicy—much like life itself. This tisane has an earthy base from the Ashwagandha Root, Green Tea, and Sage Leaf. Cinnamon and Holy Basil Leaf lift the flavor with their spiciness. The Goji Berry brings a beautiful sweetness to Longevity Herbal Tea, creating a uniquely layered and balanced tea.

Botanicals: 

Ashwagandha Root: Ashwagandha Root supports the pathways in the brain that are responsible for producing and administering hormones in your body. One of the ways it helps to manage hormones is to normalize blood levels of cortisol and thyroid hormones improving stress management. Ashwagandha contains chemicals that calm the mind, reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and balance the immune system.

Cinnamon: Cinnamon is full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties which helps to lower risk of disease. Cinnamon also helps to reduce key risk factors for heart disease and reduce blood pressure.

Ginkgo Biloba Leaf: Ginkgo Biloba Leaf is full of antioxidants that combat or neutralize the damaging effects of free radicals. It helps to increase blood levels of nitric oxide, which improves circulation by dilation of the blood vessels. It also helps to improve brain function, enhance mental performance, promote emotional wellbeing and reduce anxiety.

Goji Berry: Goji berries are a powerful antioxidant and have adaptogenic properties which help manage the body’s hormonal response to stress, strengthens the immune system and lowers cholesterol.

Green Tea Leaf: Green Tea Leaf has a high concentration of polyphenols, compounds that reduce inflammation and fight cancer. It contains the catechin epigallocatechin-3-gallate or EGCG which is a natural antioxidant that prevents cell damage caused by free radicals. Green Tea Leaf is also a natural source of caffeine which boosts brain function, mood, reaction time, and memory. It also contains the amino acid L-theanine, which increases the activity of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, reducing anxiety, increasing dopamine production, and alpha waves in the brain. The caffeine and L-theanine in Green Tea Leaf work together to improve overall cognitive function. 

Holy Basil Leaf: Holy Basil is an adaptogen with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can help protect the digestive system from stress-induced ulcers while also being calming for the mind.

Sage Leaf: Sage Leaf contains over 160 distinct polyphenols, plant-based chemical compounds that act as antioxidants in the body, which help to defend cells from damage caused by free radicals. It is a nutritious herb that contains magnesium, zinc, copper, and vitamins A, C, E, and 10% of your daily requirements of vitamin K. Sage Leaf contains chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, rosmarinic acid, ellagic acid and rutin— all of which help to reduce the risk of cancer, improve brain function and boost memory. Sage Leaf also has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and is beneficial in lowering “bad” LDL cholesterol and raising “good” HDL cholesterol. 

Turmeric: Turmeric has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and one of its active ingredients, curcumin, helps to improve the function of the endothelium or the lining of the inside of the heart and blood vessels.
