No, not before this herb’s medicinal benefits are recognized, and before it is legalized in our country. – Then we will have the choice of having the same blends with Cannabis.

"hachichit albé" literally means "the herb of my heart". In Lebanon and its surrounding countries, the lands of rebirth and abundance, we use it to call upon our very loved ones, be it our children or spouses, evoking the deep fresh, renewing feelings we feel for them, taking the term “darling” and “love of my heart” to a deeper level, where the grass is always green.

For the founder, the magic of a dried herb coming to life again, making us feel at best in our skin, naturally embodies the spirit of "hachichit albé"

All our blends are reviewed by an herbalist.

Teas are generally made with the main component Camellia Sinensis, rich in ethylamine and theine also known as caffeine. Those same components are found in Mate, therefore we categorized it in our collection as a tea.

Herbals are theine free.

Theine and caffeine are the same substance. The word caffeine has been used for coffee, and theine for tea.

However, this substance is ingested differently in tea than in coffee, as the other healthy components of tea, like polyphenols and L-theanine, interact with the caffeine metabolism, slowing down its absorption and prolonging the alertness effect between 6 to 8 hours, with no over-stimulation occurring.

They all derive from the Camellia Sinensis plant, but each has its own properties, benefits and theine consistency, depending on the age of the leaf and its drying process.

Find the properties at the back of your Blend pocket and in the table of benefits that comes in each box.

In general, related to tea, it is not advisable to give children under 12 years of age beverages that are rich in theine, although the rest of the tea components are beneficial to all. Another option could be offering the child the second or third tea or herbal infusion, with a minimal brewing time, to ensure less concentration in theine, or in any other herb that can cause them allergies. This option gets them used to drinking warm water, introducing them to a healthy lifestyle from an early age.

It is advisable to refer to the Blends Benefits List to find the ones that are child safe.
