It's Normal For There to Be Seasonal Variations in the Way Essiac Looks and Tastes
Occasionally we have folks reach out and let us know that their Essiac Tea tastes more bitter or less bitter than it did the last time. They also might note that the color of the tea became darker or lighter, or that the thickness or consistency of the sediment left at the bottom of the tea has changed. For many customers, they worry that these changes mean their Essiac tea is less effective, or that we have changed the formula.
Rest assured, these changes do not mean that we have changed the formula - or that the Essiac tea is less effective.
Genuine Essiac™ is a natural, organic product - we do not modify it in any way. This means that we don't use any additives or preservatives like a lot of brands do. Since our Essiac is made with organic herbs, there is less universality than there would be with conventionally grown herbs (think about how a piece of organic fruit is usually less uniform than a conventionally grown one).
We always avoid using unnecessary processing and unneeded chemicals. This way we ensure that the very best herbs make their way into your body, with nothing unhealthy being added in to get in the way. Rene Caisse was adamant that nothing was added to the Essiac tea except for the herbs themselves. And we honor her tradition to this day!
If you notice that your Essiac tea looks and tastes the exact same every single time, that is a red flag that additives and preservatives as well as overprocessing are likely being used. Buyer beware.

Seasonal Variations Affect These Organic, All-Natural Herbs
Please know that it's normal for herbs to undergo seasonal changes. By seasonal changes, we mean that some years the crop turns out different than others due to natural variations in the weather or the localle. It's the same reason why wines grown in varying locations and during different years taste different from one to the next.
Because you may get bags from a variety of batches in each order, it's normal and expected for some of the bags in each order to be different from one another. There is no need to worry. Rest assured, our staff consumes tea from each and every batch ourselves (including our beloved cat Maggie) and we also test each batch before sending it out. We would never send anything to you that didn't meet the highest of quality standards. Given our Money Back Results Guarantee, there is no way we could afford to send out sub-par herbs without having to give a bunch of refunds, so we take it super seriously. Learn more about our herbs here.
It isn't the goal for the product for the herbs to look, feel or smell the same each time.
The goal is for us to send you the highest quality product time after time and keep it all natural just like Rene Caisse and the Ojibway did. We are following the same methods and recommendations Rene Caisse and Dr. Charles Brusch came up with before passing the formula along to us. We have changed nothing at all about the formula, meaning that you get the very best Essiac tea each and every time. In our ultra-processed world, we have been conditioned to think that all products should look perfectly identical. However, that doesn't exist in nature, and it certainly should not exist in herbals.
