Description

I created this blend for my niece, who is an avid runner. Her dedication and determination have always inspired me, and I wanted to craft something that could support her body the way she supports her goals. What I didn’t expect was how much I’d come to love it myself—especially as a recovery tea. We’ve found that drinking Runners Tea at night is incredibly effective for restorative sleep and for giving the body a chance to rebuild and recharge. It’s become a staple for both endurance during the day and recovery at night.

Flavor Profile:

Earthy and mineral-rich from nettles and ashwagandha, with a refreshing lift of peppermint. Eleuthero and gotu kola bring depth and clarity, while skullcap provides a gentle calming balance. Licorice root adds a smooth sweetness that ties the blend together, creating a cup that feels both strengthening and restorative.

Loose Leaf Brewing Tips:

Use 1–1.5 Tbsp per 8–16 oz hot water (200 °F). Steep at least 10 minutes before removing the steeper. Save the contents for a second brew.

A Little Note:

Herbal blends require a longer steep time to fully extract their flavor and herbal support. These blends may be re-steeped a second time.
