Emperor Augustus Wild Lettuce Tea

BACK IN STOCK!

Our wild lettuce tea has a mild, herby flavor reminiscent of green tea. While it is commonly referred to as wild lettuce tea, it is more accurately described as an infusion. A few pinches steeped in hot water with honey and lemon can offer a relaxing experience at any time of day. Made from 100% Lactuca virosa, this tea is historically associated with Emperor Augustus of Rome, who is said to have consumed lettuce infusions during times of fever.

Identifying wild lettuce plants from other similar looking plants is a big problem for people making their own tinctures. Getting genuine raw materials is also a big problem for manufacturers. As far as we can tell, most of the cheap wild lettuce products on the internet are made from materials produced in China with no way to know what is actually in them.

The Solution:

All of our wild lettuce extract is genuine. The base ingredient for our lactucarium products comes from privately sourced wild lettuce and is manufactured according to rigorous standards. We press our own Egyptian lettuce seed oil from seeds imported directly from Egypt. Our tea is harvested by hand using fresh lactuca virosa. As well, our tincture is produced from locally harvested material and made in our lab using maceration and low temperature reduction.
