Fireweed tea dates back hundreds of years and is known for longevity and health with a sweet undertone. The antioxidant aspect hosts myricetin, quercetins, kaempferol, caffeic acid, cinnamic acid, catechins, chlorogenic acid, palmitate acid, and tannins. The leaves are a good source of vitamins A, C, riboflavin, calcium, potassium, manganese, and iron. The addition of Honeybush, Ginger, RoseHip, Apple, Hibiscus, and Dandelion petals creates an all-encompassing blend representing all of the Five Elements from Chinese Medicine.
