Dried Sea Buckthorn Leaf

In the high-altitude valleys of Lahaul-Spiti, Palden Lamo gathers leaves from wild sea buckthorn shrubs (Hippophae rhamnoides), the same hardy mountain plant behind our sea buckthorn berries. The leaves are dried and packed with nothing added. Steep them in hot water for a natural, caffeine-free herbal drink.

They brew into a mild, earthy cup with a flavour similar to green tea, but without the caffeine.
