Oakland, CA (May 14, 2024) - Numi Organic Tea, an award-winning leading purchaser of organic Fair Trade CertifiedTM teas, today announced its new Relax and Regenerate Herbal Supplement Tea Line featuring Damiana, a flowering vine native to Mexico, Central and South America, which has been celebrated for centuries as a mood enhancer and energy booster.

This latest product line, which includes three caffeine-free SKUs blended to evoke mood enhancement, expands upon Numi's successful tradition of distinctive blending, which balances delicious flavor while preserving functionality. Numi’s Relax and Regenerate Herbal Supplement Tea Line featuring Damiana is now available on the Numi Website, on Amazon and at select retailers, including Sprouts Farmers Market, for $7.99 for a 16ct box.

“I use Numi Organic Teas as an essential component of my herbalism practice. Their unique balance of efficacy and delicious flavor ensures my clients consistently consume the teas I suggest so that they experience the full medicinal benefits,” said Kelsey Barrett, a clinical herbalist, and educator who has been featured in Vogue and Edible for her work in transforming individual health through the power of plants. “It is an honor to harness the awesome powers of the damiana plant in this line of teas so that consumers everywhere can begin to experience its positive effects on mood, hormone balance, and mental health. The unique benefits of Numi’s Relax and Regenerate Herbal Supplement Tea Line is more than tea; it's a natural elixir that will stand the test of time.”

With more than 30% of adults reporting symptoms of anxiety or depression — up 29% from pre-pandemic levels2 — the Numi Organic Relax and Regenerative Herbal Supplement Tea Line, featuring Damiana, addresses a critical need by nourishing and supporting the central nervous system and restoring balance and restfulness in the body.3  Additionally, Damiana promotes hormonal health by working as an aromatase inhibitor, which slows down the enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen. With its unique blend of compounds, Damiana nourishes the nervous system, fostering a sense of calm and balance. 

"With our Relax and Regenerate Herbal Supplement Tea Line, featuring Damiana, we continue to prioritize consumer well-being while addressing the nation’s acute need for emotional and mental support and balance," expressed Ahmed Rahim, Chief Visionary Officer and Co-Founder of Numi Organic Tea, who spearheads product development and tea blending. "In response to escalating stress and anxiety levels, our unique tea line showcases Damiana, masterfully blended to evoke diverse functionalities while maintaining superior flavor. Damiana, a natural and holistic remedy, supports the central nervous system, empowering consumers to reclaim balance and restore relaxation in the midst of their bustling lives. The constellation of complimentary herbs, flowers and spices offered in the Damiana  product line round out the flavor while enhancing its benefits."
