Dear friends and nature enthusiasts,
For years, I’ve wandered through the forests and meadows of Transylvania’s Botanical Treasures, my eyes and heart wide open to the miracles growing beneath our feet. Those who follow my work know I’m deeply in love with the world of plants, mushrooms, and everything that grows naturally in our corner of the world.
Working on “Wild Kitchen” has opened my eyes to an incredible hidden treasure: the rich medicinal plants that grow spontaneously in Romania. From forest floors to sun-drenched meadows, every corner holds healing secrets passed down through generations.
The Supreme Tea: A Love Story for Nature
Throughout my research, I’ve dreamed of a tea that captures the essence of Transylvania. Not just a simple blend, but a true botanical journey. A tea that embraces local traditions, supports health, and reconnects us with nature.
After months of experimentation, research, and tastings, I’ve created what I consider the most complex and rich tea blend I’ve ever tasted. A tea that brings together 15 different plants, each with its unique story, each with incredible benefits for the body.
What Makes This Tea Special?
- A true immune system booster
- Emotional and mental balance
- Detoxification properties
- Cardiovascular support
- Stress reduction
- Cognitive stimulation
