Description
The Schisandra (also know as Omija) berry is native to northeastern China, Korea and parts of Siberia. It has been cultivated for thousands of years as a special beautifying tonic herb found in numerous traditional culinary and medicinal recipes. Schisandra is celebrated in China and Korea as an adaptogen—herbs that alleviate stress and help the body deal with physical and mental fatigue. The adaptogenic properties of schisandra have been cited for centuries in Asian tradition for helping beautify and protect the skin from environmental stress. It is also said that schisandra's concentrated B-vitamin complex and antioxidant activity help support healthy liver function and hormonal balance. Schisandra is harvested in late summer and can be pressed fresh into juice or sun-dried for use in a variety of preparations such as herbal teas, vitality tonics and infused liquors. Schisandra literally means "five-flavor berry," alluding to its uniquely complex flavor profile with sweet, sour, salty, bitter and pungent aspects found in different parts of the berry.

Cold Brew
I tried this hot and cold, and I prefer it cold. I put 1 tbs in my tea infuser and then place it in my
...
water bottle and leave it there over night. The first thing in the morning I drink it! Quite refreshing.

Outstanding
I just received this tea today and immediately brewed it. It has a wonderful flavor! It definitely is
...
tart but has an underlying bitter taste. It reminds me of grapefruit juice with its tart, bitter and sweet taste. If you like grapefruit you will love this!

A Delicious Surprise
I ordered a sample of this tea out of curiosity. I had personally never tried a tart tea so I was not
...
sure what to expect of this. I was pleasently surprised. It's a really delicious tea with a lovely tart flavor. This isn't a tea to 'over steep' though because the tart flavor can overwhelm but if you steep it correctly it's absolutely delicious. I will be making this a staple in my tea collection from now on.

This delightfully sweet and tangy beauty blend highlights the natural balance of Omija berries with accents of luscious strawberry and succulent rosehips.
Delicately sweet quince, wild murta guava, and jammy strawberry provide a luscious flavor that is taken to greater heights with soothing linden flowers and eucalyptus.
