About Muscle Ease

The Post-Workout Recovery

You pushed your body hard; now give it permission to rest. This blend is a potent "recovery tool" in a cup. We pair Organic Kava Root (famous for relaxing the muscles) with White Willow Bark (nature's original pain reliever). To make it delicious, we balance those earthy roots with tart Hibiscus and bright Lemongrass.

Why It Works

This is functional herbalism at its best. White Willow Bark contains salicin, a compound similar to aspirin that has been used for centuries to ease aches. Kava Root works on the nervous system to physically relax tension in the body. Together, they create a powerful sense of release after a long hike, a gym session, or a hard day of manual labor.

The Cool Down

Drink it warm or iced. After a sweaty workout, nothing beats this tea iced—the Hibiscus makes it tart and thirst-quenching. If you are sore from the cold, drink it hot to let the Kava warm your muscles from the inside out.

Organic Ingredients
  • Organic Hibiscus Flowers
  • Organic Kava Root
  • Organic Lemongrass
  • Organic White Willow Bark
Tasting Notes

Aroma: Tart and citrusy. The scent is dominated by Lemongrass and fruity Hibiscus.

Flavor: Complex and functional. It starts with the cranberry-like tartness of Hibiscus, followed by the peppery, numbing earthiness of the Kava and Willow Bark.

Finish: Dry and clean, with a mild mouth-numbing sensation (the mark of quality Kava).

Why You'll Love It

White Willow Bark: The inner bark of the white willow tree contains salicin. In the 19th century, scientists used this compound to develop aspirin. It is the oldest pain-relief herb in history.

Kava Root: Native to the Pacific Islands, Kava is prized for its ability to induce physical relaxation without mental fog. It is the perfect herb for when your body is tired but your mind is racing.

*FDA Warning: Ask a healthcare professional before use if you have had liver problems, frequently use alcoholic beverages, or are taking any medication.

Craft Your Cup

  • The Bath Soak: Don't just drink it! Put 4 tablespoons in a muslin bag and drop it in your hot bath. The herbs will steep into the water, creating a soothing soak for sore muscles.
  • Recovery Popsicles: Brew it strong, sweeten with honey, and freeze. These are amazing after a summer run.

Your Questions About Muscle Ease, Answered.

Is this safe for everyone?

Because it contains White Willow Bark (salicylates), people who are allergic to aspirin or taking blood thinners should avoid this tea. It is also not recommended for children.

Does it taste like medicine?

Kava and Willow are naturally bitter roots, but we balanced them with plenty of Hibiscus and Lemongrass. The result is a tart, fruity tea that hides the "medicine" taste very well.

Why does my mouth feel numb?

That is the Kava! High-quality Kava root contains kavalactones, which cause a temporary, harmless numbing sensation on the tongue. It is proof that the herbs are potent and working.

FAQs Simply Answered

Are your teas organic?

The Short Answer: Yes. Every single leaf, root, and flower we source is Certified USDA Organic.

The Details: We believe that flavor starts in the soil. We strictly partner with growers who practice sustainable, organic farming, organic approved pesticides, no GMOs, and no "natural flavorings" sprayed on the leaves. While our Salem facility is a dedicated small-batch kitchen (and not yet a certified processing plant), our commitment to 100% organic ingredients is absolute. You are drinking pure nature, nothing else.

What are the "Refill Bags"?

We designed our system to be sustainable.

Our Signature Tin, protects the tea and contains all the detailed brewing and ingredient information.

The Refill: When you run low, you buy a Refill Bag.

Please Note: These biodegradable bags are designed as "Transport Vessels" only. They are not intended for individual sale. Upon arrival, please use the refill bag with into your YBTCO Tin. This ensures your tea stays fresh and you have the correct brewing instructions at hand.

Where is this made?

Handcrafted in Oregon.

Every batch of Yerba Buena tea is blended, tested, and packed in our dedicated tea kitchen in Salem, Oregon. We do not use co-packers or giant industrial machines. We blend in small lots to ensure that the oils are still volatile and the spices are still punchy when they reach your cup. It is a difference you can taste.

Is it safe for allergies (Gluten/Nuts)?

We keep it clean. All YBTCO teas are naturally Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and Vegan. Our facility does not process wheat, soy, peanuts, or dairy.

The Coconut Note: The only allergen present in our facility is Coconut (Tree Nut), which is used in specific blends like Maven Blend and Turmeric Spice. We adhere to strict cleaning protocols to prevent cross-contamination, but if you have a severe tree nut allergy, please shop with caution.

When will my order ship?

We know you are ready to brew. Because we hand-pack orders, they typically leave our Oregon kitchen within 2-3 business days.

  • Free Shipping: We cover the shipping on all US orders over $70.
  • The Carriers: We ship via USPS and UPS. You’ll get a tracking number the second your label is printed so you can follow the tea to your doorstep.
