Herbal Supplement. Traditionally used to support the cardiovascular system. Since 1922. NSF certified gluten-free. USDA organic. The Alvita Story - In 1922, a new era for tea consumption began in America. The herb alfalfa, long known for its beneficial nutrients, was packaged in tea bags and sold to an emerging health food market. This product became known as Alvita and set the standard for future herbal teas. Today, Alvita represents more than forty single-ingredient teas, each one uniquely distinct, just like the individuals who drink them. Alvita chooses only the highest quality organic, wild-crafted, or cultivated botanicals, perfectly prepared to provide you with the best Mother Nature has to offer. Historical and scientific literature is painstakingly studied to ensure that the correct traditional plant and most appropriate servings are used, delivering premium flavor and quality. Herbs are gifts from the earth. Alvita takes its stewardship seriously by offering carefully harvested teas in earth-friendly packaging. Our beautifully illustrated boxes are made using recycled paperboard and our English, pillow style tea bags are oxygen bleached, not chlorine treated. You won't find a better product, with a cleaner package - anywhere. Alvita - brewed with confidence, steeped in tradition. 100% recycled paperboard. Recyclable. The deep red tea produced by hibiscus (Hibiscus Sabdariffa L.) comes from the vibrant red flower buds, or calyces, that are harvested just prior to blossoming. While long used as a fragrance in perfumes and sachets, as well as an ingredient in jams and jellies, ancient herbalists recognized the unique benefits of this herb, and traditionally used hibiscus tea to support the cardiovascular system. Alvita Hibiscus Tea is made with premium-quality, organic hibiscus calyces, and exudes a refreshingly tart flavor and light floral aroma. Certified organic by QAI. Certified gluten-free by NSF.
