Question 1

What makes this a 'cycle' blend?

Accepted Answer

This blend is designed around the menstrual cycle—specifically the days when you want grounding, softness, and a sense of being held. Tulsi and nettle provide steady, mineral-rich support; rose and lavender offer floral calm; and hibiscus adds a bright, alive note. In Ayurvedic thinking, the cycle is linked to apāna vāyu (downward-moving energy), so the blend emphasizes warmth, aroma, and gentle grounding rather than stimulation.

Question 2

When should I drink this?

Accepted Answer

Many people reach for this blend in the days leading up to or during their cycle, especially in the evening. It's caffeine-free and designed to accompany your body's natural rhythm—not to override it. You can drink it anytime you want a floral, grounding cup, but it's especially comforting when you're feeling out of sync or need a moment of restoration.

Question 3

Why tulsi and rose together?

Accepted Answer

Tulsi (holy basil) is considered an adaptogenic herb in Ayurveda—steady, grounding, and warming. Rose is cooling, floral, and heart-opening. Together, they create a balance: tulsi provides backbone and warmth, while rose softens the edges and adds sweetness. The combination is meant to support both strength and tenderness—two qualities that often feel at odds during the cycle.

Question 4

Can I add honey or sweetener to this?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! The hibiscus in this blend gives it a natural tartness, which some people love and others prefer to soften. Add a teaspoon of honey, maple syrup, or agave after steeping (not during—high heat can degrade delicate flavors). The sweetness will round out the tartness and bring forward the floral notes from the rose and lavender.

Question 5

Can I steep this iced?

Accepted Answer

You can, but it's best enjoyed warm. The blend is designed to create internal warmth and grounding, which feels most comforting when the tea itself is hot. If you do want to try it iced, steep it strong (2 tsp, 7-8 minutes), let it cool, then pour over ice. The hibiscus will come forward more when chilled, giving you a tart, fruity, floral cup—less grounding, more refreshing.
