A gentle, heart supporting tea, with a smooth, naturally sweet flavor profile. Steep this one as long as you like— it will become richer and spicier, but not bitter.

Hearts Beet includes the traditional heart-support of Hawthorn berry, plus red rooibos, and beetroot.

Alexa’s breakdown as she was crafting this blend:

I knew I wanted to include beetroot (because of the vascular support it can offer and the flavor adventure/challenge of including beetroot in a tea). So: what to do about that earthy, not-for-everyone flavor of beets?

Then I thought of my stepdad. He makes THE BEST sweet pickled beets—and they’re good enough that I would eat a whole quart in one sitting (if I didn’t have to savor them as the maroon gold that they are).

His recipe includes cloves and allspice, and the flavor is smooth and complex.

That prompted me to consider warming ingredients that could compliment the beetroot and create a unique (yummy!) flavor profile.

After playing with various recipes, my final answer: cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. Not only do these enrich and round out the flavor profile—they add an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and circulation supporting angle that Hawthorn berry, beetroot, and red rooibos likely couldn’t achieve on their own. Everyone brings something to the table in this blend—and then they beat as one!
