About Refresh

The mineral-rich blend built for daily drinking.

Five herbs, chosen for what they offer the body over time. Nettle leaf brings calcium, iron, and magnesium in bioavailable form. Oatstraw (the milky-stage tops of the oat plant) feeds the nervous system with minerals and B vitamins. Red raspberry leaf is a uterine tonic, used across Western herbalism traditions to support women's cycles and postpartum recovery. Red clover is rich in isoflavones, plant compounds that balance hormones gently over time. Spearmint makes the whole thing taste clean and bright, covering the grassy undertone with a sweet, cooling mint.

The nutritive tradition.

In folk herbalism, these five herbs together form what practitioners call a "nutritive infusion," a term that separates them from teas brewed for flavor. The goal is replenishment. Steep them long (6 to 10 minutes), drink them daily, and the minerals accumulate in the body the way food does. The tradition comes out of the Wise Woman lineage, a Western herbalism approach focused on nourishment over intervention. Susun Weed, the herbalist who codified the practice in the 1980s, called nettle-oatstraw infusions "liquid vitamins."

How to drink it.

Hot or cold-brewed. Many customers make a quart at a time, keep it in the fridge, and drink it in place of water throughout the week. The flavor stays mild and minty even when brewed strong. Blended in our Salem, Oregon kitchen.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh spearmint over a green, hay-like base. Clean and herbaceous.

Flavor: Sweet, cooling mint up front. The nettle and oatstraw bring a grassy, slightly vegetal undertone that reads as earthy without tasting bitter. The red clover and raspberry leaf sit underneath, adding a mild sweetness.

Finish:Refreshing and light, with a lingering mint coolness.

Why You'll Love It

Nettle Leaf, the mineral workhorse: Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) is one of the most mineral-dense plants in Western herbalism. The leaf contains calcium, iron, magnesium, and silica in forms the body absorbs easily. Herbalists call it a "trophorestorative," a plant that restores nutrition to depleted tissues. Traditional uses run through everything from postpartum recovery to seasonal allergy support, though modern herbalism focuses on the nutritive value more than the symptom relief.

Oatstraw, the nervous system tonic: The milky-stage tops of the oat plant (Avena sativa), harvested before the grain hardens. Rich in B vitamins, calcium, and magnesium. Western herbalism traditions use oatstraw as a nervine, a plant that feeds and calms the nervous system over time. The effect builds with daily use, not single cups.

Red Raspberry Leaf and Red Clover, the hormonal tonics: Both have centuries of use in women's herbalism. Red raspberry leaf is the classic uterine tonic, used to tone the pelvic muscles during pregnancy and support cycle regularity. Red clover brings isoflavones, plant compounds that bind to estrogen receptors and balance hormones gently. Together, they anchor the blend's reputation as a women's wellness tea, though the mineral content benefits anyone who drinks it regularly.

Spearmint Leaf

Mentha spicata

Sweet, cooling mint, rounder and softer than peppermint.

In the cup

Spearmint is the gentler cousin of peppermint, carrying far less menthol, so the flavor reads sweeter and rounder, cool without the sharp bite. It is the mint of Moroccan tea and the garden bed alike. Bright and refreshing, it lifts a blend and finishes clean, and much of it grows here in the Pacific Northwest.

Nettle Leaf

Urtica dioica

A deep-green, mineral-rich leaf, a spring-tonic classic.

In the cup

Nettle is the same plant that stings in the wild, but dried and steeped it is completely tame and deeply nourishing. The cup is green and earthy, close to a vegetal broth. Rich in minerals, nettle has been a spring tonic across Europe and North America for centuries, and it grows abundantly in the Pacific Northwest.

Red Clover

Trifolium pratense

Sweet meadow blossoms, a gentle herb in women's traditions.

In the cup

Red clover is the rosy-pink blossom that dots summer meadows, dried for a mild, sweet, hay-like tea. A familiar sight across the English countryside, it has a long folk history as a gentle wellness herb, especially in women's traditions. In a blend it adds a soft sweetness and a meadow-fresh note.

Raspberry Leaf

Rubus idaeus

A green, mild leaf with deep roots in women's wellness tradition.

In the cup

Raspberry leaf comes from the same plant as the berry, though the leaf tastes green and mild, closer to black tea than fruit. It is a storied herb in women's wellness, used by midwives and herbalists for generations. Gentle and grounding, it forms the backbone of our blends for women and expecting mothers.

Oatstraw

Avena sativa

The green oat plant, a mild and nourishing nerve tonic.

In the cup

Oatstraw is the green, grassy stem of the same plant that gives us oats, harvested before the grain matures. The cup is mild, sweet, and hay-like. A gentle staple of Western herbalism, oatstraw is traditionally used as a nourishing tonic for the nerves, and it adds a soft, grounding base to calming blends.

A few notes from our teamakers.

The Cold-Brew Pitcher
Add 4 tablespoons of leaves to a quart mason jar. Fill with cold water. Leave it in the fridge overnight (8 to 12 hours). Strain. Drink it throughout the week in place of water. The cold extraction pulls the minerals without pulling the tannins, so the flavor stays sweet and mild.

The Postpartum Infusion
Brew 2 tablespoons in 16 ounces of full-boil water for 10 minutes. Drink warm, twice daily, in the weeks after birth. The red raspberry leaf tones the uterus, the nettle replenishes iron, the oatstraw calms the nervous system. A traditional herbalism protocol that midwives have recommended for generations.

The Iced Mint Cooler
Brew double-strength (2 teaspoons in 8 ounces, 6 minutes). Pour over ice. Add a squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of honey. The spearmint stays bright when chilled, and the lemon lifts the grassy notes. Tastes like a refined lemonade, functions like a nutritive tonic.

Your Questions About Refresh, Answered.

Does this taste medicinal?

The spearmint leads. The cup tastes like a sweet, cooling mint tea with a grassy, green undertone. The nettle and oatstraw add earthiness, but the mint covers it completely. Most customers describe it as refreshing and mild, closer to a mint garden than a health-food store.

How much should I drink?

The nutritive tradition suggests drinking 1 to 4 cups daily for the mineral content to build in the body. Many customers make a quart at a time and sip it throughout the day. Because it is caffeine-free and mild in flavor, it works as a water replacement. The effect is cumulative, not immediate.

Is this only for women?

The blend carries a reputation as a women's wellness tea because red raspberry leaf and red clover both have traditional uses in hormonal support. But the mineral content benefits anyone who drinks it. Nettle and oatstraw replenish calcium, iron, and magnesium regardless of gender. Men who drink it regularly report the same energy and nervous-system benefits as women.
