Ingredient Spotlight: The Journey Behind Our Stress Relief Blend

At The Mantra, we wanted to create something more than just a cup of tea—we wanted to craft a ritual. A simple moment where you could pause, unwind, and truly reset. But to do that, we knew we needed to blend ingredients that would work together harmoniously, offering you not just a pleasant taste, but real relief.

The process wasn’t about picking herbs that were trendy, or just the ones that seemed relaxing. It was about looking at nature’s offerings and choosing the herbs that would give you the maximum benefit—ingredients that, when combined, could work with your body to ease stress, promote calm, and restore balance.

We started with Jatamansi (Spikenard), an herb known for its calming and grounding properties. This one was non-negotiable—it’s a natural remedy for calming the mind, perfect for when the weight of the world feels too heavy.

Then, we brought in Chamomile, the quiet healer. Gentle yet effective, Chamomile is known for its ability to ease anxiety and help with sleep. We knew it would be the perfect partner for Jatamansi, offering softness and calm while the mind found its balance. 
But we didn’t stop there. Ashwagandha, the adaptogen known for helping the body cope with stress, joined the blend. It’s like a grounding friend who reminds you that it’s okay to slow down. Then, we added Lavender, which is practically synonymous with relaxation. Its calming scent and stress-relieving qualities would make this blend feel like a warm embrace.

Licorice Root added a natural sweetness, but also served as a support for adrenal health, helping the body respond to stress more effectively. Cardamom, with its warm, spicy notes, brought a sense of comfort—perfect for melting away tension. Finally, we added Gotu Kola, known for mental clarity and energy, so the blend wouldn’t just calm the body, but support your mind when it needed to focus and reset.

Each ingredient was carefully chosen, not just for its benefits, but for how it would complement the others. Together, they create a perfect synergy—a calming blend designed to help you find peace in a world that never slows down.

No magic here—just nature, intention, and a moment of peace in every sip.
