About Skin Glow

The herbal blend built around Vitamin C and traditional clearing herbs.

Hibiscus flowers and rosehips are two of the highest natural sources of Vitamin C in the plant world. Vitamin C is the cofactor the body needs to synthesize collagen, the structural protein that keeps skin firm and elastic. Red clover and burdock root are Western herbalism's traditional "alteratives," herbs used to support the body's natural clearing and detoxification processes. Spearmint, peppermint, rose, elderflower, and calendula round out the blend with cooling, soothing botanical notes. The cup tastes tart and floral, like crushed cranberries with a mint finish.

Why the Vitamin C pairing matters.

The body cannot produce collagen without Vitamin C. Rosehips contain roughly 1,700 to 2,000 milligrams of Vitamin C per 100 grams of dried fruit, which is about 20 to 40 times more than an orange by weight. Hibiscus contains less Vitamin C than rosehips but brings anthocyanins, the antioxidant pigments that give the flower its deep red color. The two botanicals work together: one delivers the building block for collagen production, the other protects the skin from oxidative stress.

The alterative tradition.

In Western herbalism, "alteratives" are herbs that support the body's elimination pathways, particularly the liver and lymphatic system. Red clover and burdock root both carry this traditional use. The logic: clear skin often reflects a body processing metabolic waste efficiently. Spearmint and peppermint cool what Traditional Chinese Medicine calls "internal heat," the redness and inflammation that shows up on the skin when the system runs hot. Blended in our Salem, Oregon kitchen.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Tart and fruity with a floral undertone. Smells like crushed cranberries, fresh rose petals, and a hint of cool mint.

In the cup: Sharp and tart up front from the hibiscus, like biting into a fresh cranberry. The mint sweeps through the middle and cools the palate. The rose and elderflower soften the finish with a floral sweetness.

Finish: Clean, cooling, crisp. The tartness lingers, but the mint rounds it out.

Iced: The tart-floral profile shines over ice. Drinks like a botanical agua fresca. Add a teaspoon of honey to balance the hibiscus tang, or leave it sharp for a refreshing, no-sugar cooler.

Why You'll Love It

Hibiscus and Rosehips, the Vitamin C pair: Rosehips contain 1,700 to 2,000 milligrams of Vitamin C per 100 grams of dried fruit, roughly 20 to 40 times more than an orange by weight. The body cannot produce collagen without Vitamin C as a cofactor. Hibiscus brings anthocyanins, the antioxidant pigments that protect skin cells from oxidative stress. Traditional use in herbal skin tonics dates back centuries across European, Middle Eastern, and Latin American traditions.

Red Clover and Burdock Root, the alteratives: In Western herbalism, an "alterative" is an herb that supports the body's natural clearing and detoxification pathways, particularly the liver and lymphatic system. Red clover (Trifolium pratense) and burdock root (Arctium lappa) both carry this traditional use. The herbalism logic: clear skin often reflects a body processing metabolic waste efficiently. The tradition runs through European folk medicine and American Eclectic herbalism from the 19th century.

Mint, the cooling nervine: Spearmint and peppermint both contain menthol and other volatile oils that create a cooling sensation on the skin and mucous membranes. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, skin redness and inflammation are often understood as signs of "internal heat." The mint cools the system. The sensation you feel drinking the tea is the same cooling action herbalists credit with settling inflamed tissue.

Rosa damascena

Fragrant petals that bring soft floral romance to a cup.

In the cup

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.

Peppermint Leaf

Mentha x piperita

Cool, crisp menthol, traditionally used to refresh and ease the stomach.

In the cup

Peppermint is a hybrid mint with an unusually high menthol content, the source of its cool, sharp taste. The menthol gives an instant cooling lift and a clean finish. It is valued for flavor and its long history as an after-meal cup. Much of the U.S. crop grows in the Willamette Valley.

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.

Rosehips

Rosa canina

The tangy fruit of the rose, bright and vitamin-C rich.

In the cup

Rosehips are the small red-orange fruits left behind after a rose blooms, dried for a tart, fruity, slightly tangy cup. Famously rich in vitamin C, they were brewed into syrups during wartime when citrus was scarce. In a blend they add a bright, berry-like zip and pair naturally with hibiscus.

Hibiscus Flowers

Hibiscus sabdariffa

Bright magenta petals with a bold, cranberry-tart punch.

In the cup

Hibiscus is the deep-red calyx of a tropical flower, dried for tea and steeped into a brilliant magenta cup. The flavor is bold and tart, close to cranberry, with a refreshing edge that shines over ice. Known as agua de Jamaica in Mexico and a favorite across Africa, it brings color and zing to fruit blends.

Elderflowers

Sambucus nigra

Delicate, honeyed blossoms with a soft floral sweetness.

In the cup

Elderflowers are the creamy white blossoms of the same shrub that gives us elderberries, picked in early summer. They carry a light, honeyed, floral sweetness that is gentler than the berry. A European hedgerow classic, the flowers turn up in cordials and spring teas, lending a soft, fragrant lift to a cup.

Calendula Flowers

Calendula officinalis

Golden petals, long used in folk tradition to soothe and brighten.

In the cup

Calendula, also called pot marigold, is a bright golden-orange flower used for centuries in European folk herbalism. In tea it adds gentle color and a mild, slightly earthy note. It is best known in skin and beauty traditions, which is why it shows up in our complexion and women's wellness blends.

A few notes from our teamakers.

Iced Beauty Tonic
Cold-brew 2 teaspoons in 16 ounces of cold water for 8 hours in the fridge. Strain. Pour over ice with a squeeze of lime and a drizzle of honey. The cold extraction keeps the hibiscus bright and drops the astringency. Drinks like a spa water with depth.

Double-Duty Facial Steam + Drink
Brew 2 teaspoons in 16 ounces of full-boil water for 6 minutes. Pour half into a heat-safe bowl, let it cool slightly, drape a towel over your head, and steam your face for 5 to 7 minutes. Pour the other half over ice, add honey, and drink it. Internal hydration plus topical steam. A full spa ritual from one pot.

Skin Glow Popsicles
Brew double-strength (2 teaspoons in 8 ounces, 6 minutes). While warm, dissolve 2 tablespoons of honey into the tea. Let cool, pour into popsicle molds, and freeze. The anthocyanins from the hibiscus stay stable when frozen. A Vitamin C treat that tastes like berry-floral ice.

Your Questions About Skin Glow, Answered.

Does this tea support skin health?

The blend provides Vitamin C, which the body requires to produce collagen, and anthocyanins, which are antioxidants that protect skin cells from oxidative stress. Traditional herbalism uses red clover and burdock root to support the body's natural clearing processes, which can reflect in the complexion. Hydration itself is one of the most effective supports for plump, healthy-looking skin, and this tea makes drinking water more appealing. For skin concerns, consult a dermatologist or qualified health practitioner.

Can I use this tea for a facial steam?

The essential oils in rose, mint, and elderflower make this blend suitable for a facial steam. Brew a strong pot (2 teaspoons in 16 ounces, steep 6 minutes), pour into a heat-safe bowl, and let it cool slightly so the steam is warm but not scalding. Drape a towel over your head and let the steam open your pores for 5 to 7 minutes. Then pour the cooled tea over ice and drink it. A two-part ritual.

Is this tea sweet or tart?

Tart. The hibiscus gives the cup a sharp, cranberry-like tang. The rose and elderflower add a floral sweetness that softens the finish, but the dominant note is tartness. If you prefer a sweeter cup, add a teaspoon of raw honey or agave. The honey rounds the hibiscus without masking the floral notes.
