From the herbalist
Notes on morning tea.
I built this for people who can't drink coffee in the morning but still want something warming and stimulating.
Schisandra is the interesting one. It's an adaptogen — a plant that helps the body manage stress. It has a tart, almost berry-like edge that balances the warming ginger.
