Reason to Love

Slippery elm or Ulmus rubra (Latin for “red elm,” so called for its lovely reddish bark) is a beautiful, native North American elm tree. It’s the inner bark of this tree that is actually called “slippery elm” due to its, yes, slippery, smooth, and slimy-in-a-good-way properties. Combined with licorice and marshmallow root, we think this tea blend is like taking your voice to the spa.

We’ve Got the Right Stuff

Our slippery elm bark is wild-collected throughout the beautiful wild lands of the southern Midwest. Our collectors ramble through forests they know intimately looking for trees and branches that are appropriate for cutting. It’s a delicate practice that requires a long-view—these forests are sustainably managed so that this important herbal resource will be available for generations to come.

The collectors must carefully strip the outer bark to get to the prized inner (slippery) bark, which is then dried and bundled up before it can be ground up for tea.

We raise the bar. The quality standard of the herbs we use is hard to pronounce, difficult to meet, and it’s what makes us different, better. Pharmacopoeial: it’s the only quality standard our herbalists can rely on when blending teas for your health and wellness.
