This distinctive plant has ancient origins, part of a lineage that has changed little over millions of years. Native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, it grows low to the ground in moist meadows, along streambanks, and in open fields. Its hollow, jointed stems and fine, radiating branches give it a clean, graphic look.
Many plants share the name Horsetail, but Equisetum arvense is the species traditionally used for tea. Other members of the genus are not used this way, making identification important. Also known as Shavegrass, Scouring Rush, Bottlebrush, and Pewterwort, Horsetail was once used to polish tools and cookware. When brewed, it produces a light green infusion with a fresh, earthy aroma and a mild, grassy taste with a mineral edge.
Recommended Use: About Horsetail - This tea has an earthy, mineral-rich flavor with subtle grassy undertones and a clean, crisp finish. Brewed from organically certified tender young shoots, it offers a grounding, contemplative cup.
Recommended Dose: Use spring or filtered water. Good water is an essential part of brewing a great cup of tea. Relax. Some of the most enjoyable aspects of tea are the calmness and ritual that surround it. Take some time for tea!
- Quick Brew Directions: Pour freshly boiled water over tea bags in your chosen mug, cover, and let steep 3 to 5 minutes to taste.
- Full Strength (infusion) Directions: Horsetail is a delicate herb ~ best when exposed to high temperatures for only a short period of time.
