Summary

Damiana is a singular marvel in our collection, primarily used alone as an herbal tea or seamlessly blended into other beverages due to its mild, exotic taste. Its essence is often described as floral and earthy, a flavor profile that complements rather than overwhelms. Notably, it's a caffeine-free option in our tea range, perfect for those seeking a soothing, non-stimulant drink.

History

Damiana is a small shrub native to Central and South America. Its leaves were first recognized for their significant uses by the Mayans, who employed Damiana as an aphrodisiac and a mood enhancer. Its use wasn't just confined to the Mayans; various indigenous cultures across these regions found both medicinal and ceremonial uses for the plant. In modern times, it has been creatively incorporated into various culinary and beverage concoctions, from chocolates to cocktails.

Why We Love It

We're enamored with damiana for its subtle yet distinct flavor. Steeped alone for a calming tea, or mixed into a spirited cocktail, Damiana brings a touch of historical richness and botanical flavor that is both grounding and invigorating.

The More You Know

Damiana blends especially well with roses and chocolate, making it a perfect addition to truffles!
