Sanguine Tea: Building Blood and Vitality

Sanguine: The Art of Nourishing Positivity and Vitality

When we named our Sanguine Tea, we weren't just looking for a fancy word. We were looking for a word that encapsulated a feeling. The Latin root Sanguis translates to "blood," but the adjective Sanguine has come to mean "optimistic" or "hopeful." In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these two concepts are inseparable.

A Modern Take on a Blood-Building Classic

Sanguine is rooted in the elegant classic Dang Gui Bu Xue Tang. This formula is famous for using a specific ratio to generate Qi, which in turn helps the body produce and manage its blood. To this, we've added a unique "Griffo" touch to ensure results you can feel.

  • Huang Qi (The Yellow Leader): This root brings a natural, subtle sweetness to the tea, providing the energy needed to feel vibrant.
  • Dang Gui (The Harmonizer): The gold standard for nourishing blood and regulating menstruation.
  • Hong Hua (The Catalyst): We added Safflower to ensure that the blood we are building stays in motion, preventing stagnation.

A Sensory Ritual: The Pyramid Bag

Medicine should be a beautiful experience. We chose our pyramid bags for a very specific reason: they allow the whole herbs room to expand and breathe. As you steep, you can see the delicate safflower petals through the mesh, watching as they release their vibrant essence, tinting the water a deep, inviting gold. 

A Foundation for Women's Health

While Sanguine is great for anyone feeling "cold" or depleted, it is an essential tool for women's health. By focusing on building blood and ensuring smooth circulation, it serves as a primary support for regulating the cycle and ensuring a smooth, comfortable menses.

If you find yourself struggling to keep your hands and feet warm or lacking your usual "spark," Sanguine Tea is designed to help you reclaim your natural warmth and vitality from the inside out.
