Tea story
Strong, bitter, and bracing— this is a tea with no apologies. Designed for those who value function as much as flavor, this pressed blend pairs Georgian black tea with licorice root, carrot, and a touch of cinnamon. Inspired by the long winters and hardworking rhythms of the North, it's an adaptogenic, immune-supporting brew that fuels resilience.
Licorice root, revered in both Eastern and European herbal traditions, brings a deep natural sweetness layered under a bold, earthy bitterness. Carrot, once dried and brewed like tea in old Siberian kitchens, adds a soft, mellow undertone. A hint of cinnamon warms the cup and rounds the edges.
This is not a delicate tea—it’s for those who like their flavor wild, their strength herbal, and their energy steady. It restores, protects, and invigorates.
