Buddha Teas Organic Elderberry Tea Bags 18pk

When it comes to power foods, elderberry towers above other berries reputed to boost the defense system. Important during cold and flu season especially, elderberries also brew into a delicious tea. Though you may not be aware that you consume flavonoids every day, they make up the largest group of phytochemicals, and are a vital part of maintaining health as we age. (They like to eat up free radicals while supplying antioxidants.) Flavonoids are found in the colorful fruits and vegetables on your plate, so even if you've never heard of the word flavonoid, they've been helping you out your entire life.

If you thought blueberries, cranberries, raspberries, and goji berries were the key to fortifying your immune system, now you know it's elderberry's exceptional flavonol levels that make it such an immune system powerhouse.

Experts assert that when choosing how to consume your daily dose of flavonoids, your best bet is to opt for foods over supplements. While ideally this means including a variety of fresh, local, organic produce in your daily diet, sometimes a cup of tea is easier, or simply more comforting.

Don't be put off by the strong smell of this earthy, smooth tasting tea that boasts a lingering full berry flavor. This fortifying cup of tea just feels good going down. Though some may experience a tartness, others will find this tea finishes with a mild sweetness. Drink several cups a day for optimum wellness.
