Bhakti Chai
Each mirco-brewed batch of Bhakti Chai concentrate is a blend of fresh pressed ginger and fiery spices - in a sweet broth of antioxidant rich Organic Fair Trade black tea. We press our ginger (not powdered) to provide an immune boost, respiratory strength, and digestive warmth while giving a jolt of sweet clarity. Bhakti means devotion through social action, and from its inception, Bhakti Chai has been sustainable (all packaging re-usable/ zero waste) and socially responsible (supporting local and international nonprofit organizations.)

Pixie Mate

It will float your soul on the wings of a softer buzz and beat the bushes for body-happy antioxidants. Pixie Mate. Take flight.

WishGarden Herbs
WishGarden Herbs was started in Boulder, Colorado in 1979 by Barbara Wishengrad, a local midwife. Her purpose was to provide herbal formulas for her pregnant and birthing clients. Every product was made by hand, then bottled and labeled in a small kitchen. Not much has changed in the making of our products. The formulas are still hand-crafted from beginning to end. As traditionalists, we prepare our medicine in small batches, apothecarial style, using only wild harvested and organically grown herbs with very few exceptions. Many of the botanicals used in our formulas have been grown on high altitude organic farms or gathered sustainably here in the beautiful Rocky Mountains around us. WishGarden is pleased to support small organic farmers in our region and strives to locally source as many of our herbs as possible.
