Part of Bigelow's specialized "Plus" nutrient-fortified line, it blends classic, soothing kitchen remedies with essential minerals to help bolster your body's natural defenses in a comforting hot drink.
What Comes in the Bundle?
- Quantity: You receive a bulk Pack of 6 boxes.

Key Ingredients & Functional Benefits
This blend features a robust, carefully curated mix of botanicals alongside a targeted mineral supplement:
- Zinc (Zinc Gluconate): The standout wellness addition. One brewed 8-ounce cup delivers 3mg of Zinc, which accounts for 30% of your recommended Daily Value. Zinc is highly regarded for its crucial role in reinforcing immune function, supporting cellular growth, and combating oxidative stress.
- Zesty Ginger: The primary flavor driver. Ginger is naturally rich in gingerols, which provide a warming, spicy kick and are traditionally used to ease minor nausea, soothe scratchy throats, and calm digestion.
- The Herbal Base: Instead of standard filler leaves, the ginger is grounded by a warm, earthy base of Red Rooibos and Rosehips, alongside Fennel and Pumpkin Seeds, which add a gentle, smooth complexity to the body of the tea.
- Natural Honey Granules: Blended directly into the bag to offer a touch of authentic, smooth, and golden sweetness that perfectly balances the sharp heat of the ginger.
Dietary & Quality Highlights
- Naturally Caffeine-Free: Because this is an all-herbal and rooibos formulation (containing no actual black or green tea leaves), it is completely stimulant-free and safe to enjoy right before bed or when resting through an illness.
- Clean-Label Standards: The recipe contains no artificial colors or preservatives. It is certified Gluten-Free, Non-GMO Project Verified, and Kosher Parve.
- Zero Calories: Despite the sweet honey flavor profile, it contains 0g of sugar and 0 calories per serving.
How to Prepare It
To properly activate the functional ingredients and extract the spicy ginger oils:
- Bring fresh, cold water to a rolling boil.
- Pour 8 fluid ounces of boiling water directly over 1 tea bag in a mug.
- Steep for 4 minutes (leaving the bag in for 5 to 6 minutes will yield a much spicier, sharper ginger bite).
- Remove the bag and enjoy. It is delightfully sweet and spicy on its own, but adding a fresh squeeze of lemon juice pairs beautifully with the ginger-honey flavor profile, especially if you are drinking it to soothe a sore throat.
