Hand-picked in the mountains, these rich green, wild strawberry leaves make a delicious tea with flavors hinting of premium green tea and/or mint. Wild strawberry leaves contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, are great in treating wounds, and may contain properties that provide defense against microbial pathogens. The leaves are mildly astringent and are considered to have blood-purifying properties and aid in stomach upsets and arthritis. These leaves have been naturally dried using solar heat and treated with the utmost care! Steep in 8-10 oz. of hot water with a dollop of raw honey for a delectable, light, refreshing cup of tea!
