How it works

What a session actually involves
Steep at around 80°C for two minutes to keep it from turning bitter.
What people usually consider it for
- Everyday energy
- Stress and calm
This reflects what the treatment is commonly used for — not a claim that it will work for you.

Things to weigh up
