Behind the charming name lies a shrub that can grow up to 1.5 meters tall and is originally native to North America. Its branches are softly hairy at the tips, otherwise smooth. The leaves of Ceanothus americanus are alternately arranged, with uneven, bluntly serrated edges. Particularly striking are the white, long-stalked blossoms of this traditional healing plant, which captivate with their soft and intoxicating fragrance. This might also explain why New Jersey Tea is increasingly popular as an ornamental plant. Being highly adaptable, the shrub thrives in many environments: coastal thickets, high mountain forests, and even semi-arid desert regions. We value quality above all else. That’s why we use only ground root bark for our tablets. The roots are harvested only after experiencing deep winter frost. Why? Because freezing allows the plant to fully develop its active constituents. Only then does the inner bark take on its characteristic bright red color, signaling peak potency. We also ensure sustainable cultivation and harvesting practices—because for us, true quality includes ecological responsibility. Traditional use of New Jersey Tea The Native American peoples have long relied on the power of New Jersey Tea, using it for centuries against coughs, colds, and joint discomfort. It was also traditionally applied to support the liver, spleen, and the entire respiratory system. According to herbalist Stephen Harrod Buhner, this wide range of uses is not surprising. In his writings, he emphasizes that Ceanothus americanus supports the lymphatic system in a unique way. The lymphatic system acts as the body’s cleanup network, where white blood cells capture intruders and toxins, which are then transported away via the lymph. New Jersey Tea root stimulates and tones this system, thanks to its unique profile of constituents, including: Tannins (astringent compounds responsible for the bitter taste) Flavonoids Trace elements and minerals (iron, copper, magnesium, zinc) Proteins Interestingly, the leaves are still known in America as “New Jersey Tea,” originally used as a black tea substitute.
