When the threat of Covid-19 first hit home and we were faced with our store closing in late March, we thought of blending a herbal tea that contained as many anti-viral and immune boosting properties as we could find. It took a while longer than we thought, partly because no-one could decide on the blend’s name! So here it is eventually, hints of cherry and tulsi mix with sour berries in a balanced herbal tea. We still couldn’t finalize the name but somehow it seems appropriate for a tea born out of the pandemic.
