Why Costa Rica? Why This Tea?
Costa Rica is home to one of the world's five "Blue Zones" — regions where people are known for exceptional health and longevity well into their 90s. Researchers have long been intrigued by the lifestyle and dietary habits of communities in the Nicoya Peninsula.
"The morning tea ritual wasn't just a habit. It was the daily reset that supported their energy and wellbeing, even as they aged."
— Inspired by traditional Costa Rican wellness practices
Among the habits researchers noted was a consistent use of herbal teas made from local roots, plants, and botanicals — many of which are associated with supporting digestion, energy, and metabolic function.
Scientists have found that a key factor in sluggish metabolism and weight gain — especially as we age — is the gradual decline of mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are the tiny powerhouses inside every cell responsible for producing energy and burning fat. When they become less active, the body stores more fat and produces less energy, even with a healthy diet.
The specific combination of herbs in the Costa Rican tea tradition contains compounds associated with supporting mitochondrial health — helping cells produce energy more efficiently and supporting the body's natural fat-burning processes throughout the day.
All Day Slimming Tea was formulated with inspiration from this tradition. It combines a morning tea designed to support energy and metabolism with an evening tea designed to support detox and restful sleep — creating a simple, enjoyable daily wellness ritual.
