Pluck launches Tea for Good

1. Our founder and Tea Sommelier Jennifer developed these teas with leading nutrition professor, scientist, and adaptogen expert Amy Symington, M.Sc. to ensure all formulations are safe, and evidence-based
2. These teas include chopped whole plant ingredients – not finely ground powders or dust (like the other brands), so they can be re-steeped for a second serving (or an extra-large single serving!)
3. Our pyramid tea bags are compostable, non-GMO corn-based and plastic-free (many companies use petrochemical based PP or PE to heat seal their wellness tea bags)
4. Tea for Good teas are hand-blended, packed, and shipped directly from our facility, ensuring optimal freshness
5. Each blend includes a key Canadian-grown ingredient

About the Blends:

Renew:  Harness the power of chaga mushrooms (ours are sustainably sourced from the pristine Boreal forests of BC) in this turmeric and chai-spiced blend that’s delicious on its own, or served up as a delicious chaga chai latte. This tea is anti-inflammatory, high antioxidant, and an effective tummy settler.

Defence:  This Ontario-grown ginseng blend includes ginger, echinacea, and organic lemon peel. A delicious tea for immune support and soothing comfort if you’re feeling a bit under the weather. Delicious hot – or served over ice.

Sleep: This Prince Edward County-grown lavender blend includes organic chamomile, ginger, and organic licorice root. A calming tea to drift off to at the end of the day – or to relax and de-stress any time.

Focus:  Get in the zone with Focus – our awakening, concentration-boosting tea. This antioxidant-rich organic green tea blend includes organic peppermint, organic licorice, ginger, and organic grape skins sourced from Niagara. Formulated with your cognitive health in mind.

Tea for Good teas are now available at pluckteas.com in pouches of 30 tea bags.
