The Researcher

I am Alex, herbal tea researcher and solo builder. This started when I was trying to answer one simple question: what does the actual clinical evidence say about the herbal teas I drink every morning?

What I found surprised me. The literature on herbal tea is a mess — cherry-picked studies, marketing-driven superfood claims, and genuine clinical evidence buried under SEO content farms. So I started researching properly: reading original papers, checking compound pathways, comparing TCM theory with modern pharmacology.

This site is the result. Every article is a deep dive into the science, or the TCM theory, behind a specific herbal tea or tea combination. I write from lived experience. I blend my own morning teas. I have been wrong about things before. But the evidence always comes first.
