How to make the perfect cup 

🌿 Option 1: Extract the most therapeutic properties from your root herbs

Measure out 1 tablespoon of herbs for every cup (8 ounces) of tea you plan to make and add them to a pot. Add cold or lukewarm water to the same pot and turn the stove to medium heat. Once the water and herbs come to a boil, immediately turn the heat to a low setting. Leave your tea to simmer on the stove for up to 40 minutes. When ready, strain out the herbs and add your milk of choice and your preferred sweeteners, or enjoy as is.

🌿 Option 2: Do it the easy way 

Add 1 tablespoon of herbs per cup of water and steep at 212°F for 5-15 minutes. For the perfect cup, add a splash of your milk of choice.

🌿 Option 3: Herbs + Coffee

Add 1 tablespoon of Root Coffee to your coffee beans and enjoy the benefits of both! 

How many cups does each pouch make? 

  • 1 ounce pouch: 5+ cups of tea
  • 2 ounce pouch: 10+ cups of tea
  • 4 ounce pouch: 20+ cups of tea 

Re-steep your tea (AKA use the same herbs to make a second cup) to get the most out of your herbs and your money!

Are you feeling anxious or did you drink too much coffee?

Caffeine has its benefits, but moderation is key. The "boost" you get from caffeine comes from the increase of cortisol and adrenaline (stress hormones) in the body. So, a cup of coffee might stimulate your brain and get you moving — but more than that or a cup too late in the day could make you anxious and interrupt your sleep. Skip your 3pm cup and reach for Root Coffee instead.

FAQs

How do I make a cup of loose tea?

Steeping leaves & flowers

Blends: Weightless, Radiant, Gut Soother, Period Tea

Measure out 1 tablespoon of herbs for every cup (8 ounces) of tea you plan to make. Begin boiling your water to at least 200°F and add your herbs to your tea pot, basket infuser, tea ball, or whatever accessory you have on hand. Pour the hot water over your herbs and let them steep for 5-10 minutes before straining them out using your tea-making accessory or a basket strainer. Add some honey or maple syrup, or enjoy as is! 

Decocting roots & berries

Is herbal tea actually tea?

Technically, herbal tea is not tea. Commonly referred to as a tisane or herbal extraction, herbal teas cannot be considered tea because they do not contain tea leaves from the camellia sinensis plant that black, green, and white teas are made from. 

It's also worth noting that apart from herbs like yerba maté and yaupon holly, herbs contain no caffeine. Therefore, a majority of herbal tea is caffeine free.

What does "re-steep" mean and how can I do it?

Re-steep literally means "to steep again." So, just follow the same steps you used to make your first cup of tea again. All of our blends can be re-steeped— and we recommend that you do so you get the most therapeutic value from your herbs (and the best bang for your buck).

Do you offer free shipping?

We will be offering free shipping on domestic (US) orders over $75 very soon, so stay tuned!

How do I know whether I'm allergic to the herbs in these blends?

Before purchasing anything from us, please check the full ingredient list at the bottom of each product page and ensure you're not knowingly allergic to any of the herbs listed.

If you don't have any known allergies but you're concerned that your body may have an adverse reaction to these blends, we recommend either doing a patch test with the tea before you consume it, or starting with a very mild cup of tea.

To perform a patch test, follow the instructions on the bag to steep the tea and then rub a portion of the steeped tea on your forearm. Wait 24 hours to see if a rash appears. If so, gift your tea to a friend and do not consume it.

To make a mild/diluted cup of tea to test for a reaction, add 1 teaspoon of herbs for every 1/2 cup of water and let steep for 5 minutes. Strain out your herbs and take a sip of the tea. Wait 5-20 minutes before drinking the rest of the cup to ensure the first sip didn't cause an allergic reaction.

When in doubt, check with your doctor first. If you're planning to incorporate these blends into your routines and you've:

  • had allergic reactions in the past,
  • are taking medication,
  • are pregnant and/or breastfeeding,
  • have a health condition

always consult your doctor before taking any herbal supplement in any form (including tea). Herbs are natural, but that doesn't mean they are safe for everyone.

** As these are food items, we do not accept returns. In the event that you're allergic to and/or have an adverse reaction to the tea, seek medical treatment immediately. We are not liable for any adverse reactions you may have.

Do these blends contain gluten?

All of our blends are technically gluten free. However, we always warn that Weightless and Sweet Slumber may contain traces of gluten because they're blended with oat straw, which is sometimes processed by facilities that also process crops that contain gluten.

Better than coffee

Now I don’t like coffee, it makes me jittery and feel like I’m having a panic attack. So now that Rebecca has a coffee substitute I can have a delicious morning cup or two of root coffee and feel my bodies natural energy rejuvenating. I love this tea, I’m regretting not buying a larger bag for myself now, but I will definitely be ordering more in the future!

Loveeee this tea blend! I had been looking for something that I could make into a creamer tea drink without the caffeine and this nutrient blend is perfect!! I love that the dandelion root doesn’t come through bitter at all. Everything blends together perfectly. I will definitely order again !

Excellent!

The tea blends offered by Everyday Alchemy are life changing! I substituted one of my 2 cups of coffee with the Root Coffee blend and I feel more energized and no longer feel a crash. The Radiant blend is delicious and my skin feels amazing and has a great glow. It is hard to pick a favorite blend because the quality and benefits are so amazing. THANK YOU!
