St. John's Wort While farmers and ranchers may argue that St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is little more than a noxious weed, herbalists have long recognized the benefits of this esteemed herb. As early as the 1500s, herbal practitioners used St. John's Wort to support a calm mood and relaxed state of mind. Today, St. John's Wort has become one of the most popularly consumed herbs.

Alvita St. John's Wort Tea is made with premium-quality, organic St. John's Wort flowers, and produces a uniquely earthy flavor and aroma.

The Alvita Story… In 1922, a new era for tea consumption began in America. The herb alfalfa, long known for its beneficial nutrients, was packaged in tea bags and sold to an emerging health food market. This product became known as Alvita and set the standard for future herbal teas. Today, Alvita represents more than forty single-ingredient teas, each one uniquely distinct, just like the individuals who drink them.

Herbs are gifts from the earth. Alvita takes its stewardship seriously by offering carefully harvested teas in earth-friendly packaging. Our beautifully illustrated boxes are made using recycled paperboard and our English, pillow style tea bags are oxygen bleached, not chlorine treated. You won’t find a better product, with a cleaner package… anywhere. Alvita… brewed with confidence, steeped in tradition.
