Elderberries Loose Tea - Certified Organic

Hand-Selected by Qualified Herbal Naturopath | 100% Certified Organic | Fast Australia-Wide Shipping

Harvested from the dark, heavy clusters of the European elder tree, Black Elderberries (Sambucus nigra) have been deeply embedded in European folk medicine and shamanic traditions for thousands of years. Often revered in folklore as the "Queen of Herbs" or the "Chest of Medicine" for country people, Elderberry has a long history of use during harsh winter seasons. Rich in dark purple anthocyanins, quercetin, rutin, and natural vitamin C, Elderberries are prized in modern clinical naturopathy and Western herbalism as a premier immune-fortifying botanical, celebrated for protecting cell integrity and supporting upper respiratory health.

TASTE & ENERGETICS

• Taste: Deep berry, tart, fruity, rich, slightly astringent
• Energetics: Cooling, drying, clearing, immune-restorative

TRADITIONALLY USED FOR:

• Seasonal Immune Defense: Bolstering natural immune system vigilance and supporting the body at the onset of seasonal chills.
• Upper Respiratory Ease: Soothing bronchial passages, easing throat tickles, and promoting comfortable, clear breathing.
• Rich Antioxidant Protection: Supplying bioavailable anthocyanins and flavonoids to defend cells against oxidative stress.
• Feverish Heat Relief: Acting as a gentle diaphoretic when taken warm to encourage natural perspiration and cool internal heat.

BREWING & PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Decoction (Berry Tea): Add 1–2 teaspoons of dried Elderberries to 1.5 cups of cold water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and gently simmer low for 10–15 minutes. Strain, press the berries gently to release all juices, and sip warm.
• DIY Elderberry Syrup Base: Simmer dried berries with warming spices (like Ginger, Cinnamon, and Clove) for 30 minutes, strain, and stir in raw local honey once cooled for a classic homemade immune syrup.
