2100ml (4 x 525ml) Caisse 4 Herb Essiac Tea Exact Recipe & Method Inc Sheep's Sorrel Root.

Essiac type teas are far from equal, Rene Caisse is on record as saying that it "must contain Sheep Sorrel root or it is no good". Unfortunately, there are no commercial growers who harvest whole-plant Sheep sorrel only the stem and leaves which are widely available, it takes 2 years for any amount of root worth collecting to grow & there is no machine that can harvest it, a mattock & significant determination is needed.

Google "Buy Sheep's sorrel root" the stems and leaves are readily available, but the root is not, there are no commercial growers who harvest whole-plant Sheep's sorrel, only the stem and leaves. See the photo of a bottle of our essiac with whole plant Sheep's sorrel which is from our fields here in Devon. As you can see the root is bright orange. Before buying the herbs to brew your own essiac check closely that there are bright orange particles within the herbs. Why don't other sellers have this proof of having Sheep's sorrel root? Why don't they list the root separately in the ingredients on the label? Most even spell Sheep's sorrel incorrectly as they are not qualified herbalists on the whole.

I discovered this when first making this tea for my then 3-year-old son in 2005, I could not get Sheep’s sorrel root anywhere, we searched all over the world. This is why I grow my own Sheep’s sorrel on our own completely natural land which is several miles from any source of contamination here in Devon. It must be dug up by hand, pressure washed with filtered water to separate the root from the other roots that grow among it, one cannot separate it by hand. It is then dried in a commercial dehydrator & powdered in a commercial Vitamix as the root is very tough. It can only be harvested during June as it is impossible to find the roots unless there are stems above ground to locate it. Sheep's sorrel is a hollow stemmed plant which grows very quickly only to fall over once it has produced seeds which all happens within a month.

It is brewed in 5 litre batches using only our own quad filtered, then steam distilled water. It contains nothing more, no preservatives or additives of any kind. It has not been x rayed by security at an airport when arriving at the U.K. unlike essiac teas from other countries. Rene Caisse perfected & refined an original native Canadian recipe. Through trial & error the tea was reduced to 4 herbs which must be prepared exactly to the original formula & method. My tea contains nothing more than organic Burdock root, organic whole plant Sheep’s sorrel, including the roots, organic Slippery elm inner bark powder and organic Turkish rhubarb root.

All equipment used is stainless steel, it is steam sterilised together with the UV resistant glass & lids to ensure the product stays fresh for as long as possible, obviating the need for a preservative. The bottles are filled while the tea is above 90° & to the very top so that there is no air in the bottle whatsoever once sealed. This fastidious process ensures the tea remains potable indefinitely when unopened & can be stored in a dark cool cupboard until opened when it must be refrigerated. The cheapest of anything is always of the lowest quality.

An information sheet is included with every order. Bottled in sterilised food grade U.V. protective glass bottles with tamper evident caps.
