Introducing the Med Valley Daily Blends - 3 essential superfood teas from an organic & regenerative family farm for:
Sustainable energy & focus (without caffeine or crash)
Easier adaptation to stress
Daily vitamins, minerals & micronutrients
Happier belly & calmer mind
Evening relaxation & sleep
I started Wilsala because I couldn’t find organic, additive-free, high quality tea blends made by independent American farms.
At the time, I was struggling with all the challenges of middle age & new fatherhood:
Weight
Way more aches & pains
Sluggish energy
How to get my eating back on track
Having kids sent all stress through the roof
It rekindled my interest in herbal tea.
And while I didn’t expect a magic bullet, I thought tea might nudge everything in the right direction.
Except... it turns out, organic & 100% healthy herbal tea from independent USA farms is… almost non-existent.
I hit roadblocks at every step:
Tea bags are terrible for you (and the earth) due to microplastics. And they usually contain “the fannings” which is the industry term for lowest quality tea.
So anything in tea bags is off the table.
The vast majority of tea is imported, meaning it spends most of its life in boats, warehouses and then sitting on a shelf. It's ancient.
Plus, most of that tea is from just a couple big companies. Good luck finding any real info about their sources.
And since they’re basically tea factories? All the high speed machines pummel out whatever nutrients the plants did have.
Finally, the real kicker:
SO MUCH "healthy" tea contains artificial or “natural” flavors. That stuff is straight from the processed food industry… no thanks!
I didn’t realize it would be so hard to fulfill this simple request.
So like any weary, mildly depressed, over-worked new dad, I…
Decided to start a tea company. How hard could it be? :)
Quite hard, of course. But after many months, I found the perfect family farm in southern Oregon:
Jeff’s been farming organically for decades. Elise is an experienced herbalist. Their son is learning the ropes.
So in terms of growing & then blending organic teas to support health & happiness, it’s a dream team.
Even in the hardcore world of small-scale organic farming, they are perhaps the most extreme I've ever found.
Yes, they do all the "usual" stuff that comes with triple certification from the USDA, Oregon Tilth, and Regenerative Organic Alliance.
What makes them unique is just how far they go beyond that.
For example:
During the growing season, the plants live a hard life.
This valley sees maximum sun and minimum rain. This Mediterranean climate is hard on the plants.
And they let them struggle... which is what makes these teas so potent and flavorful.
After harvest, they immediately walk all plants to their custom dehydrator to gentle-dry on site.
No plastic:
They don't use plastic "weed guards" in their soil. It's a dirty little secret how much plastic most organic farms use.
Instead, this team weeds by hand... It's hard work! They do it willingly to eliminate the waste and risks of plastic-leeching.
No fences:
They don't fence off their fields from the surrounding wilderness because it would disrupt the area's wildlife migration patterns.
This invites visits from plant-munching deer, honey-seeking bears, curious coyotes, etc.
But they insist their land remain fully integrated with the surrounding ecosystem and this is one way they do so.
Year-round salaries to the crew:
This is another rarity in the farm world. Aside from providing a better life to the team, this stability allows them to become more intimate with the plants.
And in turn, we get far better teas.
Seed collection:
In perhaps the most extreme example, they collect 96% of their own seeds.
It's meticulous and difficult, which is why it's so rare even among the most obsessive organic farmers.
By achieving this control over the growing cycle, their plants are regionally-adapting to thrive more and more with each passing season.
Actually, THIS may be the most extreme example:
In the mid 2010's they fought and won a case in federal court to protect their county from seed contamination by corporate, genetically-engineered factory farms.
Southern Oregon has a long tradition of organic farming, and because of their legal work, this will remain the case for generations to come.
Med Valley teas are made by hardcore farmers with an unwavering commitment to doing things the right way.
In each cup of this tea, you get single-origin flavor unique to its southern Oregon birthplace... a one-of-a-kind experience you won't find anywhere else in the herbal tea world.
It is quality you can see, smell, taste and then feel.
After discovering this wonderful farm, fast forward through many more months of experimentation and... today I’m thrilled to present you:
If you too want teas that are organic, healthy & full of REAL flavor, we've come up with the blends to fall in love with.
In the morning: energy & focus (w/o the crash)
At lunch and afternoon: calm mind & happy tummy
At night: relaxation and sleep
And all day nutrition from a huge variety of native plants you won’t find anywhere else.
All plant superfoods.
All organic & regenerative.
All single origin from an independent family farm in southern Oregon.
All handled with care every step of the way.
But let's be honest:
Most people barely eat any herbs. That oregano in the cabinet is ancient. Fresh herbs at the store are expensive & wilt in 2 days.
We fixed all that.
Just 1 cup with each meal gives you 16 different superfood herbs to support you during each phase of the day: morning, afternoon & night.
And don't forget your free organic cotton tea bag whenever you venture out.
After all, flavor & nutrition don’t HAVE to end just because you left the house! 😀
A diverse array of organic plants have always been a cherished part of humanity’s daily diet… among native tribes, many are still a prized food source for vitality and healing.
But since the ~1950’s, we’ve moved away from food diversity & organic principles.
Why? Because factory farms & huge processed food companies have changed the way we eat and get nutrition.
Now, huge farms grow huge rows of the same strains of the same plants. They’re doused with herbicides and pesticides, then processed into packaged comfort foods.
Even organic grocers offer little variety.
So the corporations make their millions while we’re left with few food choices, sagging health, and barren soil.
Of the few independent farmers left, many are struggling.
At Wilsala, we believe superfood herbs are crucial to vibrant health & vitality. Not just for us tea drinkers, but also for the farmers and the earth.
By giving your body dense nutrition that only organic superfood plants can provide, we’re going back to our roots.
And because they’re organic & hand blended on-site, the vitamins, minerals & micronutrients are abundant & absorbed more efficiently.
With this blast from the past, we’re creating the future of health.
And I hope you’re coming with us.
It's energizing like coffee, but without the caffeine and crash.
The primary ingredient is organic Tulsi, India’s most sacred herb. It's also known as Holy Basil.
Combined with organic Lemon Balm and Milky Oats, these herbs are known to help adapt to stress and support the brain's functions.
Organic Skullcap, Nettle, Alfalfa & St John's Wort further enhance the flavor while adding even more vitamins and minerals.
It's a one-of-a-kind, caffeine-free beverage.
I drink it every morning.
Nourish is a lovely tangle of vitamins, minerals and... protein!
It starts with a blend of bright raspberry leaf and subtle peppermint.
Organic milky oats and horsetail add healthy vitamins and minerals.
Organic nettle, one of America's most under-utilized superfoods, adds plant-based protein and even more minerals.
Finally, basil and alfalfa round it all out with a soothing finish.
Nourish is wonderful served hot. And it shines even brighter served iced. It's sweet without sugar. It's pretty.
Plus, the botanicals are known to settle the stomach and calm the nerves.
Brew a big pitcher and keep it in the fridge. It makes for a wonderful daily ritual.
Kids love it, too.
Dusk prepares you for bed without leaving you groggy in the morning.
Organic Valerian, California Poppy & hand-picked Chamomile flowers make the base of this relaxing tea.
Organic Passionflower, Milky Oats & Skullcap work in harmony to further calm your system.
Whether you seek solace from the day's stress or simply want a healthier way to wind down for the night, Dusk offers a peaceful flavor that's perfect before bed.
Customers celebrate Dusk for helping their nights without disrupting their mornings.
Each cup is an invitation to enjoy bedtime serenity as you drift off to restorative sleep.
The perfect evening companion.
