Artemisia is an herb with an ancient history taken as a remedy for coughs, colds and influenza. Its natural extracts are employed as an antiviral in modern medicines and antimalarial drugs. It is used by herbalists in teas and tinctures to unblock pent up Qi (life energy)and to disperse inner heat caused by intermittent fatigue or illness. Artemisia annua is commonly known as "sweet wormwood" and has a special tannin structure similar to green tea and tonic water with notable polyphenols and aromatic compounds that pair well with the green tea and enlivening botanicals of this blend. Artemisia Qi Tonic is caffeinated and energized by Tencha, the stimulating and refreshing Japanese shade-grown tea used to make Matcha. The blend of artemisia and green tea is balanced with aromatic California lemon zest and anti-oxidant rich shiso leaves to create a bitter-sweet, wonderfully fragrant and stimulating infusion to expel dreary winter fatigue.
