An Aromatic Winter Herbal Tea of Thyme, Rosemary & Marshmallow Root

Breathe Tea is a caffeine-free, loose-leaf herbal tea for the colder months. Thyme and rosemary, staples of the European kitchen garden, are blended with plantain, elecampane, marshmallow root and echinacea. Whole roots and leaves are used throughout, and each serving can be steeped twice.

The Herbs

Plantain: a tissue balancer, soothing irritated throat and bronchial tissues while supporting the body to manage excess fluid.

Elecampane: a deep, warming respiratory tonic, helping to ease tight chests and shift stubborn, stuck mucus.

Marshmallow Root: provides rich, soothing mucilage that coats and protects irritated throat linings and sensitive airways.

Echinacea Root: delivers support to your immune system, helping to support your natural defenses against seasonal bugs.

Thyme and Rosemary: offer properties that work as natural antiseptics, helping to ease tight airways and open up the chest.

Taste Profile: Fresh and herbaceous, led by thyme and rosemary, with a smooth, rounded finish from marshmallow root.

Weight: 80g loose leaf (makes approximately 30 cups)

Format: Loose leaf, for a teapot or infuser

Caffeine: Caffeine-free

Additives: No added flavourings, colourings or preservatives

Plantain (Plantago major), Elecampane Root (Inula helenium), Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis), Echinacea Root (Echinacea purpurea), Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis).

Our Breathe Tea is designed to be easily integrated into your daily routine to help maintain clear, open airways:

The Infusion Method: Add 1 teaspoon of the loose herbs into a teapot or an infuser cup. Pour freshly boiled water directly over the blend. Cover immediately and let the herbs steep for 10–15 minutes. Strain, allow to cool to a comfortable drinking temperature, and enjoy.

Bonus Infusion: You can infuse the same serving of herbs a second time with boiling water to enjoy a subsequent cup later in the day.

When to Drink: 1 – 2 cups during the day. You can increase to 3 cups per day to provide additional comfort when you need it.

Safety & Cautions

Functional herbal infusions must not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Not suitable for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Health Notice

Breathe Tea is a herbal tea and is not intended to replace medical treatment. Anyone whose symptoms worsen or do not improve should seek prompt medical advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

Anyone with a history of respiratory conditions such as severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or emphysema should consult their doctor or specialist before use.

A Winter Ritual

Breathe in the Steam: Pause over the cup for a moment before the first sip.

Keep the Air Fresh: Open a window for a few minutes each day, and keep bedroom air from becoming too dry.

Cook Warming Meals: Broths and soups with garlic and ginger through the colder months.

Rest Well: Seven to nine hours of sleep, especially when you're not feeling well.

Thyme and elecampane are the traditional British herbs for a cough that sits on the chest, and marshmallow root and plantain are the soothing counterparts for a dry, scratchy one. Breathe Tea contains all four, with echinacea and rosemary.

Elecampane (Inula helenium) is a tall yellow-flowered plant whose bitter root was a standard remedy for chesty coughs in European herbal practice for centuries. Its Latin name comes from Helen of Troy, from whose tears it was said to have sprung.

Two to three cups daily, steeped covered for ten to fifteen minutes. Covering the cup matters here more than most, as thyme and rosemary carry much of their character in volatile oils that will otherwise leave with the steam.

See your doctor if a cough lasts more than three weeks, if you cough up blood, if you are breathless, or if you have chest pain or a high temperature. A herbal tea is for ordinary winter coughs, not for anything
persistent or severe.

Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Speak to your doctor or one of our Medical Herbalists before use if you take any prescribed medicine, particularly immunosuppressants.

This functional herbal infusion has been carefully formulated by our Medical Herbalists to support your everyday respiratory comfort and immune resilience, helping to keep your airways feeling clear and supported throughout the year.

Speak to your doctor before drinking it if you have asthma or any diagnosed respiratory condition, and never use it in place of prescribed inhalers or medication.

For general respiratory support and everyday protection, we recommend enjoying 1–2 cups throughout your day. If you are feeling congested or dealing with seasonal bugs, you can safely enjoy up to 3 cups a day for extra comfort.

If you are currently taking any prescribed medications, we advise consulting a qualified healthcare practitioner or one of our Medical Herbalists before introducing this blend, as some botanicals can interact with pharmaceutical medications. Please feel free to reach out to our team at info@zenmaitri.com

One 80g tin contains approximately 30 servings, depending on your preferred brewing strength. Because our high-quality botanicals use whole plant parts, you can infuse each serving a second time later in the day.

Yes, this blend is entirely caffeine-free and can be enjoyed throughout the day or evening without disrupting your sleep patterns.

While the  botanical compounds remain stable when the tea cools down, our medical herbalists recommend drinking it warm. Warm liquids support healthy circulation and help thin mucus, maximizing respiratory tract comfort.

Customer photo review of Breathe Tea for Respiratory Support | 30 Servings (80g)

So aromatically refreshing 😋 this tea is a firm favourite for me to take to work. I work for an emergency ambulance service and so are often one to one with patients full of viruses. In an effort to stay healthy I will brew myself a cup of defend tea for my journey to work and a flask of breathe to help me feel as though my airways are clean! Anyone in the health care service will understand this! As I work with different crew mates, I regularly receive compliments on the fresh aroma when I pour myself a warm drink between jobs. I have quite a collection of Zen tea but rarely I consider any others for my working nights! This tea literally is a breath of fresh air.

Customer photo review of Breathe Tea for Respiratory Support (80g)

Very refreshing and tasty. I bought this product as I am prone to colds, sinus infections, etc. I have now been landed with another cold but my symptoms appear to be clearing quicker than normal since I started using this tea.

Breathe Tea for Respiratory Support (80g)

Super quick delivery. Nice tea. I usually drink a mug of this tea in the later afternoon. Don't know if it is my imagination but I could feel a slight warming sensation in my trachea/oesophagus. Too early to say whether it has helped with congestion/coughing issue that I have had for quite a few years. Many thanks. I will reorder this tea again.

Breathe Tea

Well I’m drinking it almost every morning instead of my lemon tea. It tastes comforting and I know it won’t hurt my gums like lemon water does.. Not sure about the effects it’s had on potential colds but it does feel comforting when I drink it with a tablespoon of MCT oil when I’m fasting.

Breathe Easy Herbal Tea – Respiratory & Lung Support, Loose Leaf (80g)

I am a breathwork facilitator and this tea is part of my toolkit for preparing and supporting my respiratory system before and after breathing sessions. I highly recommend it to my clients and they love it. It also helped to keep my lungs in a decent state during my last encounter with COVID-19 among other supplements and products from Zen Maitri. I drink it as everyday tea too - it is refreshing and uplifting. Thank you
