XX Blend

Nature

XX Blend is colourful, inspirational, and most of all, feminine in nature. The myriad flavours and and textures in this tea are reminiscent of the Earth itself. And so this herbal blend is a celebration of colours, tastes, aromas, and feelings.

Taste

XX Blend's taste is floral, sweet, and fresh. Hibiscus and rose form the top, more floral notes, while peppermint and lemongrass bring a freshness to the palate. Rosehip adds a dash of sweetness, and just like that all parts of the palate are stimulated.

Effects

XX Blend's effects are subtle and gentle. The tastes come together to create a relaxing yet celebratory experience — the kind that one enjoys in a hot bath, for example. XX Blend is calming and soothing to the feminine parts we all carry.

Uses

XX Blend is the perfect tasting mid-morning tea to use daily for its health benefits. Motherwort, violet, and sage are all herbs very well known to promote women's health and regularity, while all of the other plants used contain a host of different minerals and nutrients. Use XX Blend for a moment of peace or as a healthy breakfast.

Who

The XX Blend is perfect for the person who likes to sip on something healthy and delicious in the mid morning. It's best for those who want to nourish their feminine parts. XX Blend is made with herbs that can be used by people of any age and any physical constitution. However, as this herbal blend is made with plants, please check the ingredients for any known allergies.

When

The XX Blend can be enjoyed at any time throughout the day when a moment of reflection is needed.

How

Sourcing

All ingredients are 100% traceable and unadulterated. Medera aims to manufacture products with ingredients and supplies from Australia. However, some herbs are not grown locally or are not grown to organic standards. Therefore, Medera sometimes uses herbs of non-Australian origin. Medera is 100% transparent about the sourcing of each and every ingredient in each and every product.

Medera's biophotonic glass jars are manufactured in Switzerland and are sourced from Australian suppliers.

One of the beautiful things about shopping for botanical products at Medera is that you can do a beautiful thing for the world and the environment.

Medera's product comes to you with absolutely zero plastic. Every last detail of Medera's packaging is plastic-free:

• Biophotonic glass jars
• Compostable bubble mailers
• Cardboard shipping boxes
• Greenwrap or biodegradable bubble wrap
• Compostable sticky tape

Medera makes a huge effort to purchase from suppliers that also boycott plastic so that Medera doesn't produce a lot of waste making products for its customers.

Medera chose biophotonic glass jars for its packaging because of its unique ability to block UV light. UV light degrades compounds in botanical materials, especially aromatic ones. Oils are also prone to rancidity after exposure to UV light. Biophotonic glass jars mean that your jar of tea or body oil can sit right on the bench without being compromised by light (such as what happens with amber bottles). They should be reused when you've finished indulging in their insides because they're high quality glassware.

All compostable packaging products can be composted at home. Simply use them the exact same way you would compost your green waste, and they will break down into organic biomass. The Greenwrap can be recycled like any other cardboard.

We think about every step in the manufacture process and try to innovate a new way of doing things at every step of the way. We know that every part of the manufacture process has a footprint including transport, packaging and delivery. We aim to reduce that footprint in every way possible — and we're always excited to tell you how we did it.
