Agarwood Leaves | Qi Nan

The leaves of this herbal tea are from one of the most sacred trees in Hindu culture, the Agarwood tree. This history of this tree dates back thousands of years for its unique fragrance and medicinal properties. 

It is soothing on the body and mind, calming the nervous system. The herb’s mildly bitter taste is smooth and sweet, like burnt caramel. It is known in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine that bitter tastes support the release of digestive enzymes. This tea offers relaxation in the stomach almost immediately, relieving bloating and digestive discomfort. It is also rich in vital elements such as calcium, zinc, iron and magnesium. This tea is a perfect way to start or end your day.

This tea provokes...

  • Grounded

    You feel of this earth. Centeredness, stability and connection to the present moment. There is a sense of inner calm and slowness that allows a gentle awareness to your environment and emotions. 

  • Relaxed

    A mellow feeling, like a compilation of calm, ease and tension release in the mind and body. Leaving you in a state of contentment, peacefulness, and inner stillness.

  • Sleepy

    Slowly disengaging from the world. A gentle transition into a more soothing almost sedative-like state where your mind and body slow down. Feelings of peace washes over you. Lingering thoughts of your bed palace arise.
