How do I brew Bronchial Support Tea?
Steep 1 tablespoon of Bronchial Support Tea in 8 oz of just-boiled water for 8 to 10 minutes, covered. Breathe the steam while it brews, that is half of it. Drink 1 to 2 cups a day as a routine, or up to 4 cups in the seasons when you want more of it. Honey rounds out the flavor and adds its own comfort to the throat.
What is the difference between Bronchial Support Tea and Sinus Support Tea?
Sinus Support is built around herbs traditionally used for the head and the upper airway. Bronchial Support is built around herbs traditionally used lower down, in the lungs and the chest. They are different jobs and most people who use one end up keeping both on the shelf.
Is lobelia safe in a tea blend?
At tea quantities, lobelia has a long history of traditional use. It shows up in much stronger concentrations in tincture form, where it is treated with more caution. In this blend it sits at a gentle, food-safe level, and it has been part of lung teas in the folk traditions for a long time. We are blending the next batch without it.
Does the blend ever change?
Yes. We blend in small batches and we adjust as we learn and as the harvest allows. The list above is what is in the bag you would get today. When it changes, this page changes with it.
How many cups are in a package?
Enough for roughly 10 to 15 cups, depending on how strong you brew it. If you drink it daily, plan on a bag lasting a couple of weeks.
Where does this tea come from?
Hand-blended at our farm in Opp, Alabama, from herbs we grow, wildcraft, and source. No fillers and no artificial flavoring. Learn more about mullein on our Learning Center page. Want mullein on its own? We sell it as Dried Mullein Leaf for tea and as a Mullein Extract tincture, both wildcrafted here in Alabama.
