Elderberry Mint celebrates the taste of, and traditions around, the fruit of the elder tree. Elderberries have a long history of rich folklore and medicinal use. Some people swear by elderberries as a natural immune booster. They’re also rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, anthocyanins, and they may help reduce inflammation. We developed Easy Does It around those little berries, whose sweet flavor—and purported health benefits—grows the longer they steep. Along with elderberries, we use other delicious botanicals to capture the fresh-from-the-tree experience. The berry-bright aroma reaches high, while the juicy flavor runs deep. Although the tea steeps up light in color (pinkish orange), the cup has nice weight, with chamomile and lemongrass filling out the body. Spearmint lends a subtle note, with a hint of cool freshness.
