There’s something sacred about a warm cup of tea, isn’t there? It slows you down, comforts your soul, and invites a moment to breathe. At The Ezekiel’s Garden, we wanted tea to do more than taste good — we wanted it to nurture your body, calm your spirit, and support your health with intention.

Our blend brings together:

🌺 Hibiscus🍒 Dehydrated cherries🌿 Lemongrass🌼 Fennel🌹 Rosehip✨ Cinnamon bark essential oil

And while it tastes like a cozy, refreshing hug in a cup… science shows these ingredients are working behind the scenes, too.

🌺 Hibiscus – A Heart-Healthy Hero

Hibiscus isn’t just pretty and tart — it’s powerful.

Research shows that hibiscus tea may:

Lower blood pressure when consumed regularly(Meta-analysis, 2022, PMC)
Provide strong antioxidant support, helping reduce stress in the body(ScienceDirect, 2022)

It’s a natural whole-body supporter, especially for your heart.

🌿 Lemongrass – Calm for the Mind + Body

Lemongrass brings that clean, citrus flavor you love, but also:

Shows anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties(PMC, 2011)
May support healthy blood pressure and act as a gentle diuretic(PMC, 2022)
Is traditionally used for stress relief and digestion support

Basically? It’s calming and cleansing.

🌼 Fennel – Friend to Your Gut

If your stomach could smile, it would smile after fennel.

Studies show fennel:

Supports digestive comfort (helpful for bloating and gas)(Functional Foods Review, 2023)
May help balance inflammation in the gut(PLOS One, 2022)

It’s one of nature’s soothing comforts for digestion.

🌹 Rosehip – Vitamin C for Your Skin + Immune System

Rosehip tastes fruity, light, and uplifting — and it’s loaded with benefits:

Very high in Vitamin C, supporting collagen (hello, healthy skin!)(ScienceDirect, 2024)
Rich in antioxidants that help with inflammation and immune support(PMC, 2017)

Think of it as beauty and immunity brewed right into your cup.

🍒 Cherries – Sweet + Antioxidant-Rich

While not as widely studied specifically in tea form, cherries are known for:

Anthocyanins (plant antioxidants)
Supporting healthy inflammation response
Natural fruity sweetness without added sugar

They make every sip a little brighter and your body a little happier.

✨ Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil – Warm + Hard-Working

Just a tiny touch of cinnamon bark adds a warming spice and extra wellness perks:

Contains antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds
Known for supporting circulation and metabolism(Healthline review)

Note: cinnamon essential oil is potent, which is why we use it thoughtfully and in small amounts.

🌿 Together, They Create More Than Just a Tea

This blend works gently and collectively to support:

✅ Heart health

✅ Healthy digestion

✅ Antioxidant protection

✅ Immune support

✅ Reduced inflammation

✅ Moments of calm and reflection

It’s not jittery, harsh, or overwhelming — it’s balancing, comforting, and intentional.

💛 More Than Wellness — It’s a Ritual

At The Ezekiel’s Garden, we see tea as more than a beverage.

It’s:

A deep exhale after a long day
A morning prayer in a mug
A small act of kindness to your body
A quiet moment to say “Thank You, Lord.”

Whether you drink it iced on the porch or warm during your evening wind-down, we hope each sip reminds you that caring for your body can also nourish your soul.

🌱 Brew With Love

Use 1–2 teaspoons per cup
Steep 5–10 minutes
Enjoy 1–2 cups daily
Add honey if you like (we won’t judge!)

As always, if you take medication, are pregnant, nursing, or have health concerns, check with your doctor first — herbs are natural, but they are powerful too.
