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

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.

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.

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.
