The verdict
Where this pick fits.
Echinacea purpurea root and elderberry — the two-ingredient backbone of half the herbal pharmacy. Traditional Medicinals uses high-potency extract, which means the steep takes time and the flavor is unmistakably medicinal: floral, slightly bitter, clean. Sixteen sachets, no honey blended in for palatability. Drink it as medicine.
