The Urban Cottage – Tonic

A subtle, grounding, calming blend containing beautiful organic wild harvested ingredients. I steeped this a little over the recommended 5-7 minutes to really bring out the notes of lemon verbena. This is my first time ever ingesting native Gumbi Gumbi, which after some brief research I’ve learnt is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory. The added ingredients of melissa, hops and oatstraw make it an excellent before-bed brew. I really appreciate that ingredients have been sourced and wild harvested in a way that benefits first nations growers, suppliers and communities, as well as the extra steps this small business takes to reduce waste and give back to first nations communities.

The loose leaf tea is wonderfully rustic in that it contains whole dried herbs and hops (flowers). Both the flavour and aroma of this nourishing tisane brings a sense of calm and a connection to nature. I love the addition of traditionally used herbs such as Gumby Gumby and Oat Straw, which are thought to possess health promoting qualities that reduce stress, support heart health and boost immunity for example. It is inspiring to see that The Urban Cottage focuses on supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities through the local businesses they choose to partner with, as well as the charities they contribute to.
