5 Years Younger (Maybe) – Loose Leaf Herbal Tea | Ayurvedic-Inspired Botanical Blend

5 Years Younger (Maybe) is a loose leaf herbal tea inspired by traditional Ayurvedic botanical combinations and the rituals of self-care, reflection and relaxation.

We can't turn back the hands of time, but we can imagine what the Fountain of Youth could do if we drank it! 5YY(M) is great to drink whilst you are thinking about any anger connected to identity, maybe it helps flush imaginations that need digesting to support beauty from the inside out? Maybe, depends on what we're starting with! (Our founder drank it for 2 weeks straight and noticed some cute skin improvements!)

Created by Her Belle Tease in The Netherlands, this blend combines aromatic herbs, flowers and roots traditionally used in herbal tea cultures across Europe and Asia. It has been designed as a warming, aromatic tea to enjoy before a sauna as the Cumin, Coriander and Fennel seeds act as pore openers, during a soothing wellness moment, or as part of a considered daily routine.
