A lot of "immune" tea is a sprinkle of elderberry over cheap filler, with flavoring doing the heavy lifting. Guards Up is eight whole berries, roots and flowers.
The typical immune tea
GUARDS UP
What's in the pouch
Berries, roots, flowers and spice. The cold-season classics, whole and loose.
Sambucus nigra
A cold-season staple for generations. Deep, dark and jammy.
Rosa canina
The fruit of the wild rose. Bright and tart.
Echinacea purpurea
The purple coneflower. Grassy, with a light tingle.
Astragalus membranaceus
A root used in traditional Chinese herbalism for centuries. Mild and a little sweet.
Zingiber officinale
The warmth that builds through the cup.
Cinnamomum verum
True Ceylon cinnamon, not cheap cassia. A soft, sweet finish.
Curcuma longa
An earthy root and the reason the cup has a golden tint.
Sambucus nigra (flos)
The flower of the elder tree. A delicate floral lift.
Why it exists
Most immune teas are weak elderberry over weaker chamomile. I wanted the full stack. Elderberry and rose hips, echinacea and astragalus, turmeric, ginger and cinnamon for the warmth. Eight whole herbs. No fillers. No BS. This is what I keep in my cabinet from October to March.Patrick Kane · Founder
