Free & Easy Tea is a modern reinterpretation of the classic Xiao Yao San idea, formulated specifically for fast, perceptible stress relief rather than slow constitutional support. This blend focuses on easing tension at its source—constrained Liver qi—while gently calming the nervous system and supporting smooth circulation.
We intentionally kept Bupleurum root at a higher proportion than is typical. Bupleurum is the primary driver in this formula: it relieves internal pressure, helps modulate stress signaling, and supports a healthy cortisol response. When stress feels stuck—mentally, emotionally, or physically—Bupleurum helps restore movement and ease.
Mentha works alongside Bupleurum to release tension, cool the body and settle the nervous system. Its light, aromatic nature helps clear the head, soften irritability, and bring a sense of immediate relief without sedation.
Peony root, Atractylodes rhizome, Angelica (Dang Gui), and Poria are traditionally used in larger amounts in Xiao Yao San–style formulas to build blood, strengthen digestion, and support long-term balance. In Free & Easy Tea, these herbs are in reduced proportions. Their role here is supportive rather than foundational—enough to harmonize and stabilize the formula without slowing its primary effect: rapid stress relief.
Rose petal rounds out the blend with gentle cooling, smooth circulation, and a subtle emotional lift. It also adds elegance to the flavor profile, bringing softness and beauty to the experience of the tea itself.
Each 3.5 g biodegradable pyramid tea bag delivers noticeable effects quickly—often within a single cup. With consistent nightly use, the benefits deepen over time, making this tea especially well-suited for evening wind-down rituals, emotional decompression, and ongoing stress support.
