Every cup of CycleBloom starts with a simple question: what does your body actually want from a tea during the different chapters of your cycle?
We didn't want a long list of trendy extras. We wanted a small, honest blend of time-tested herbs, each with a reason to be there. Here's what's in your cup and why.
Turmeric: the golden warmth
Turmeric has been part of Ayurvedic kitchens and traditions for thousands of years. Its active compound, curcumin, is well known for its natural antioxidant properties. In CycleBloom, it brings earthy warmth and a sense of comfort on the days you want to slow down.
Cinnamon: the comfort
Cinnamon is a warming spice that features in both Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese herbal practice. It rounds out turmeric's earthiness with natural sweetness, and it's a big part of why this tea feels like a hug in a mug.
Chasteberry (Vitex): the cycle companion
The berry of Vitex agnus-castus has been used in Western herbal tradition for centuries, and it's one of the best-known herbs for women's cycle support. Herbalists usually talk about it as a herb of consistency, something to enjoy as part of a regular routine over a few cycles rather than a one-off.
Maca root: the steady lift
Grown high in the Peruvian Andes, maca is an adaptogenic root traditionally enjoyed for stamina and vitality. It gives the blend a gentle, grounding energy with no caffeine, which is welcome when your energy dips or your mood feels changeable.
Nettle leaf: the nourisher
Nettle is a mineral-rich leaf, traditionally valued for its iron, calcium, magnesium, and vitamins. Herbalists have long used it as a nourishing tonic, so it's a natural fit for the days your body is asking for a little extra replenishment.
Raspberry leaf: the classic women's herb
Red raspberry leaf is one of the most beloved herbs in women's herbal traditions, traditionally used to support uterine health and comfort. It has a mild, slightly earthy flavour, and it pairs beautifully with nettle.
Spearmint: the fresh finish
Spearmint brings a cool, bright note that balances the warmth of turmeric and cinnamon. It's traditionally enjoyed for digestive comfort, and it makes the cup taste as good as it feels.
