Perfect for daily wellbeing, relaxation, and balance, this traditional herbal tea can be enjoyed hot or chilled — a comforting ritual that supports a healthy lifestyle.

Key Benefits

• Supports bone & joint health: Eucommia contains natural compounds (geniposidic acid, aucubin) linked to connective tissue support and mobility.
• Promotes healthy blood pressure balance: Long-standing use in traditional frameworks notes its role in maintaining vascular wellness.
• Adaptogenic properties: Helps the body stabilise under stress while supporting overall resilience.

These benefits are widely referenced within traditional use and emerging research, however results vary across individuals.

How to Brew

1. Add 1–2 tsp of Eucommia bark per cup (250ml).
2. Pour hot water (90–95°C) – just below boiling.
3. Steep for 5–8 minutes for a smooth, earthy flavour.
4. Optionally re-steep the bark 2–3 times; flavour gently evolves with each infusion.

For a richer tonic-style brew: simmer gently for 10–15 minutes.
