The Essiac Tea Blend Kit

Features

Description

Our DIY Essiac Tea Blend Kit brings together the four traditional botanicals used to prepare the classic Essiac herbal decoction. Designed for beginners, this bundle makes it easy to prepare your own traditional blend at home without having to source each botanical individually. Unlike most herbal teas, Essiac is traditionally prepared as a decoction.

This means the herbs are gently simmered and then left to steep, helping extract from tougher botanicals such as roots and bark.
