Four Sigmatic recently launched its 'Organic Instant Tea Collection,' featuring four varieties to address common health concerns that can be alleviated by drinking the brand's health-targeted teas.
Firstly, 'Protect' is formulated to support immune health while 'Mood' promotes a positive mindset throughout the day. The third tea option is 'Calm' which like its name, helps alleviate and relax the mind and body. Lastly, 'Happy Gut' features gut-friendly ingredients to support digestion with ginger and unique ingredients like yacon and turkey tail.
Each tea in the collection is made with "organic mushroom extracts, including lion’s mane, chaga, turkey tail, and reishi, and botanicals and functional ingredients such as L-theanine, lemon balm, elderberry, and probiotics—free from sugar, stevia, and artificial flavors" in a convenient multi-serve format, allowing them to be prepared easily without using tea bags or sachets, and enjoyed hot or cold.
