Inspired by the icefields of the Canadian Rockies, Fire & Flowers is a tea that celebrates both resilience and renewal. In nature, fireweed is one of the first signs of life after a wildfire, its brilliant purple blossoms painting valleys and alpine meadows with hope. Much like the land, our bodies also crave cycles of clearing and renewal—and this radiant blend was crafted with that balance in mind.
Why Detox with Fire & Flowers?
Seasonal changes often leave us feeling sluggish, prompting a desire for a reset. Autumn in particular is a time of transition, when nature reminds us to shed what no longer serves us and prepare for the quieter months ahead. Fireweed, the heart of this blend, has been traditionally valued for its cleansing and soothing qualities. Its naturally grounding character helps the body release, refresh, and restore balance. Made from the leaves and flowers of Chamerion angustifolium (also known as willowherb or rosebay willowherb), has been used in traditional medicine for centuries across Europe.
