Astragalus Tea - 18 bag

Astragalus is an herbal plant that comes from the pea family, historically used by a variety of cultures across the northern hemisphere. Its sweet yet sharp flavor makes for an enticing herbal tea option.

Astragalus is a widespread plant belonging to the pea family, with more than 3,000 different plant species bearing the name. Also called milk vetch, this small shrub belongs to the temperate climates of the northern hemisphere, and is well known to many of the native populations it grows around. The Middle Eastern varieties were frequently used to make a natural gum, while in Asia, Chinese herbalists would procure it as a valuable herbal ingredient, especially for making herbal tea.

When astragalus root is dried and powdered, it creates a cloudy, pale brew with a warm, sweet and mildly sharp flavor, making it a stimulating herbal tea. However, this tea has more to offer than an appealing flavor. Astragalus root is naturally rich in various minerals, including calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, and selenium. This tea also provides flavonoids, amino acids, phytosterol and essential fatty acids, and is a natural source of antioxidants. These elements provide even more incentive to add astragalus tea to your herbal tea collection.
