Way back in the 1920s, some rumors started to circulate from within the forests of Ontario Canada about a tea that can help fight against certain conditions. A nurse going by the name of Renee Caisse was purportedly the holder of a secret tea blend she had discovered – of which she protected up until just before her death…

While we won’t claim this tea will fight/prevent cancer as some others do, this combination of herbs does have a very good level of antioxidants, along with compounds within this blend proven to have a protective mechanism to help prevent DNA damage/degradation and positively affect the immune system.

For more information view our article on Essiac Tea here.

This contains Burdock Root, Slippery Elm, Turkish Rhubarb, both the stem and root of Sheep Sorrel. Wildcrafted, Pesticide Free and Organic components.

Please note our Blend is freshly ground in-house and is a fairly heavy grind, therefore the appearance of 50g is not a huge amount.
