SEA BUCKTHORN LEAF + BERRY

Sea Buckthorn Leaf & Berry Tea

(Hippophae rhamnoides)

Steeped in legend and alive with vitality, Sea Buckthorn has nourished people for thousands of years across the windswept steppes of Eurasia. Its very name tells a story: Hippophae, from the Greek hippos (horse) and phaos (shining), refers to ancient accounts of warhorses fed on its leaves and berries. Genghis Khan’s steeds, it is said, gained not only strength but radiant coats from this hardy shrub — a symbol of vigor, resilience, and renewal.

A Plant of Two Gifts

Sea Buckthorn is unique in that both its leaf and berry offer distinct treasures:

• The Leaf – Silvery-green and subtle in flavor, sea buckthorn leaves contain polyphenols, flavonoids, and essential minerals. Traditionally used as a soothing herbal infusion, the leaf is noted for its anti-inflammatory qualities, cardiovascular support, and calming effect on the digestive system. Its gentle tannins lend a grounding, earthy character to the tea, similar to white tea but without the caffeine.
• The Berry – Bursting with color, the bright orange berries are among nature’s most nutrient-dense fruits. They contain one of the highest natural concentrations of vitamin C, along with vitamin E, carotenoids, and a rare combination of omega-3, 6, 7, and 9 fatty acids. These compounds are celebrated for boosting immune function, supporting skin health and elasticity, aiding recovery, and improving overall vitality.

When blended, the leaf and berry create a balanced infusion: bright yet smooth, fortifying yet restorative.

Health Benefits in Every Cup

Sea Buckthorn tea may:

• Support the immune system with potent antioxidants and high vitamin C content.
• Promote healthy skin and hair, thanks to omega-7 fatty acids and carotenoids.
• Aid cardiovascular health by improving circulation and reducing oxidative stress.
• Soothe digestion and inflammation, with gentle tannins and polyphenolic compounds.
• Boost energy and recovery, offering a natural tonic for resilience.
