In the Know
Horsetail is most commonly found in North America (Canada and the norther parts of United States), and got its name due to its branches that resemble a horse’s tail. Formally known as Equisetum, horsetail is the only living genus in Equisetaceae, a family of vascular plants that reproduces by spores, rather than seeds. Horsetail is considered a “living fossil” because it’s really, really old, perhaps more than one-hundred million years! Way back in Ancient Rome and Greece, when physicians prescribed horsetail as a diuretic, those suffering issues related to water retention found relief. Since then, Horsetail Tea has earned the reputation as an effective way to eliminate excess water in the body. In fact, Germany’s equivalent to our FDA even approves horsetail as a treatment for edema.
What Does Horsetail Taste Like?
After dropping your unbleached tea bag into your cup of water heated to just below boiling (205° to 210° or so), let it steep 4-8 minutes. Now, take a good gaze at your cup of Horsetail Tea, and feel the power of amber enter your senses. Your first swallow may not be too surprising when you know that the plant was named after a horse’s tail, which, visually, also somewhat looks like green hay. In other words, this earthy tasting tea brings to your cup a feeling of freshness, groundedness, and a smooth, nurturing flavor. Complex, smooth, and refreshing, try enjoying a cup of Horsetail Tea as a caffeine-free morning beverage; we think you’ll feel quite satisfied!

Bleach-Free Tea Bags
Our tea bags may not be the whitest, but they ARE the safest because Buddha Teas ONLY uses bleach-free teas bags. For us, this is not a preference but a necessity. Tea bags that have been bleached contain harmful chemicals such as dioxin and epichlorohydrin. Dioxin is a highly toxic, chemical compound produced by some chemical processes such as bleaching paper. It falls into the category of a POP (persistent organic pollutant) which, as the name suggests, persists and refuses to breakdown in our bodies and the environment, potentially taking decades to detox. Epichlorohydrin (bleach) is also toxic and listed as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP). It has been classified by the EPA as a human carcinogen.
We believe that our customers should never have to choose between their health and their senses so we proudly offer bleach-free tea bags so that they can taste the purity of natural teas without the cost of harmful chemicals or additives.
