Today, I'm excited to share with you one of nature’s simplest yet most profound gifts – chamomile. As someone who’s spent the better part of thirty years wandering through nature’s vast pharmacy, I’ve come across countless herbs, each with its own story and set of benefits. But, let me tell you, few can match the gentle power of chamomile.

Each ingredient in “Comfort” is handpicked for its healing properties, to not just alleviate symptoms but to nurture and restore. Let me walk you through the natural pharmacy that blends into each cup:

Watching them dance on the breeze, I fancied them as tiny parachutes embarking on grand adventures to unknown lands. Little did I know, years down the line, my own journey would lead me back to these humble plants, not in playful whimsy, but in profound respect for their hidden virtues. Dandelion, often dismissed as a mere weed...
As a kid growing up in the south, black iced tea was a staple around our house. Brewed in the early morning and served iced all day long, it was what we drank. Back then, I had no idea that the black tea I enjoyed so much was more than just a thirst quencher—it was a powerhouse of health benefits.
Nestled in the lush countryside where the whispers of the past blend with the knowledge of the ancients, grows a plant steeped in folklore and medicinal power – the Hawthorn. This rugged, thorny bush, much like an old friend, has stories to tell and wisdom to share. For over centuries, Hawthorn has been revered not just for its delicate flowers and deep red berries, but for its hearty essence that seems to echo the beat of life itself.
Hey there, friends. If you've been following along, you know I'm all about the dance between nature and health along with the sheer zest of living life to its fullest. Today, I want to shift gears a bit and talk about something that's just as crucial to our well-being but is often overlooked or not considered. I'm talking about the unsung hero of our daily lives, sleep.
Detoxification isn’t about fighting our body's natural rhythms; rather, it’s about supporting these rhythms in a gentle way. Our “Detox” tea blend is designed to aid this natural process with ingredients inspired by nature and tradition.
When folks hear the word "marshmallow," their minds often jump straight to those fluffy, sweet confections perfect for roasting over a campfire. But before you start dreaming of s'mores and hot cocoa topped with these sugary delights, let's clear up a common mix-up that's as old as the hills.

Howdy, it’s Jack! Let's explore the world of rooibos, a naturally caffeine-free delight from South Africa’s Cederberg region. We use it as a base for many of our blends. It has a natural sweetness and it has an amazing, robust flavor with an abundance of health benefits that makes it a great foundation to build a blend that can help support many aspects of a happy healthy life.
These Jack Tales are my thought and opinions, musings and reflections on our teas and how we make them and why we make them - that is why I and we do this and made The Original Jack Tea for you.
Hopefully they embody and express to some extent the experience and learning that I have accumulated about health and wellness as it relates to herbs in general and “teas” specifically. With all my heart I believe in and have come to know during my life’s journey that nature and natural remedies are often ones that can and do provide not just some alternative but what is in the end the better choice after all.
My intention is not to provide “advice”, per se - although I will admit at times it could seem that I’m am.

You are as we all are free to come to your own conclusions about these things and in fact all things - based on our own experience and understanding.
