Personality: Smooth and silky. Herbal Power: Helps you sing it loud, say it proud, stand up and be heard. Reason to Love: Slippery elm or Ulmus rubra (Latin for "red elm," so called for its lovely reddish bark) is a beautiful, native North American elm tree. Its the inner bark of this tree that is actually called "slippery elm" due to its, yes, slippery, smooth, and slimy-in-a-good-way properties. Combined with licorice and marshmallow root, we think this tea blend is like taking your voice to the spa--because we all need a little comfort sometimes so we can get back to being our best. Taste: Sweet and earthy, silky, with a distinct licorice taste. The statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
