FAQs about our teas

This blog post aims to answer some frequently asked questions about our artemis tea range.

What artemis tea is right for me?

Our tea range is designed to support many different areas of your health, from digestion, to stress and sleep, to immunity.  If you’re not sure where to start, we recommend the Liver Detox and Kidney Cleanse teas as a daily support for your hardworking detoxification organs. 

How do I make my artemis tea? 

Use 1 level teaspoon (1000mg) of tea and place into an infuser. Pop the infuser into a cup and add 150ml of just-boiled water. Let infuse for 5-10 minutes. 

If you want to drink 3 cups of tea/day it is also fine to make this in an infuser pot or plunger.  Take 3 level tsp and add approx. 500ml just-boiled water. Let infuse for 5-10 minutes.  You can take this with you in a reusable takeaway cup or a thermos. 

When should I take my artemis teas?

Some teas are best before a meal, some are best after, and some can be taken whenever suits you.  We recommend checking the label of your artemis tea for specific instructions. 

How many cups of tea should I take?

1 cup/day is suitable for maintenance, and up to 3 cups/day can be taken for more focused support. 

How long can I take my artemis tea for?

This depends on what tea you are taking and for what reason.  Many of our teas are designed to support your body long-term and can be taken daily for months or even years! 

(Ask our staff how many years they have been drinking the Liver Detox and Kidney Cleanse teas!).  

Some teas make sense to take for a shorter period of time, eg: take the Breastfeeding Tea when you are breastfeeding, or the Immunity Tea when you need a little extra immune support. And some work best when taken long-term, such as the De-Stress Tea or the Liver Detox & Kidney Cleanse Teas. 

Can I mix two artemis teas together? 

Each artemis tea has been formulated to address a specific purpose and is best taken on its own. 

Having the teas separately allows time for the body to better absorb and use the compounds in the plants. It also allows the perfect ratio of plants to water, which ensures that the plant compounds are effectively extracted into the liquid. 

Additionally, some teas work best when taken at a certain time of day, eg: Liver Detox Tea before a meal, Digestive Tea after a meal, and Sleep Tea 30-60 minutes before bed. We recommend that you keep them separate for best effect. 

Should I drink/eat the leaves/herbs?

You do not need to drink or eat the spent herbs from your tea.  

When you make your artemis tea, you are extracting the water-soluble plant compounds into the hot water. This is where the goodness is!  And while some of the plants would be fine to eat afterwards, many are very hard (eg: are roots or bark) and would be terrible on your teeth and digestive system, and most wouldn’t taste very nice after they are extracted!

How do the artemis teas taste?

All of the artemis teas contain an expert blend of potent, high-quality, medicinal plants and nothing else.  There are no flavours, colours, additives or preservatives added to these teas.  

As such, they taste, well, like plants!

The flavour varies depending on the blend, with many teas containing naturally beautiful-tasting plants to enhance the flavour.  Think fennel, aniseed, peppermint, licorice, and cinnamon. 

One of our teas – the Liver Detox Tea – has a somewhat bitter taste profile.  But this is on purpose!  Our bodies have bitter receptors all throughout, and stimulating those receptors through bitter foods or drinks can support areas of our health such as our digestion and detoxification systems. 

Are your teas certified organic?

Yes, all of our teas are BioGro certified organic. 

Where do your tea ingredients come from?

As medicinal plant experts, we source plants from wherever they grow best in the world.  Most of our plants come from Europe and are organically and sustainably grown and harvested.
