What is an Elderberry?

Elderberry is the dark purple berry from the European elder tree. Elderberries have been used for centuries due to their numerous health benefits. Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, they are known to boost the immune system and promote overall well-being.

Beyond the medicinal and therapeutic purposes, cooked elderberries are also used for making tea, wine, pies, and jams.

The tart yet sweet flavor of elderberries adds a delightful twist to this Wild Elderberry Tea.

What does Elderberry Tea Taste Like?

Hibiscus and rose hips provide a tangy and floral note, while echinacea adds a hint of earthiness. The blue cornflowers not only enhance the visual appeal of the tea but also add a delicate floral undertone.

If you're not feeling quite so bold, give it a quicker steep or blend in some white tea. Elderberry Hibiscus tea is also delicious with a cinnamon stick, or a few slices of ginger. Add some raw honey for sweetness if desired. Enjoyable as an iced tea as well.

Does Elderberry Tea Have Caffeine?

Elderberry tea is caffeine-free, so you can enjoy it at any time of the day or night without worrying about caffeine intake. It is a great choice for those who prefer caffeine-free beverages.

Benefits of Elderberry Tea

Beyond flavor, a cup of elderberry tea is also a great way to reap the health benefits of elderberries. The immune-boosting properties make elderberry tea a good choice for fighting off colds and flu. Elderberries are also rich in antioxidants, which can help protect the body against free radicals and oxidative stress.

For over a thousand years, herbalists have researched the health benefits of elderberry. Early studies are also showing the benefit of reducing inflammation, relieving stress, and protecting heart health. However, these studies are still ongoing.

Each year when we face cold and flu season, it's good to remember that this herbal tea is a natural remedy. We've made it even more potent by blending in echinacea, another well-known immunity-boosting herbal remedy. 

Elderberries are rich in flavonoids and antioxidants that help your body absorb vitamin C, the vitamin essential for immune function. Elderberry and echinacea tea is packed with vitamins A, C, and B, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and zinc to help boost your immune system and ease cold and flu symptoms. There are also studies that show Elderberry herbal tea can also help with collagen synthesis.

Whether you enjoy it hot or iced, this Wild Elderberry Tea is a perfect choice for those looking for a caffeine-free and flavorful beverage. So sit back, relax, and indulge in the goodness of elderberries with every sip of this delightful tea.
