Scientifically known as Actaea racemosa, formerly classified as Cimicifuga racemosa, black cohosh is a member of the Ranunculaceae (buttercup) family. Native to eastern North America, this perennial plant is found in woodland areas from southern Ontario to Georgia. The plant is characterized by its tall, white flower spikes that bloom in late spring to early summer, and its large, compound leaves. Black cohosh has been used by Native American tribes for centuries, particularly for women's health concerns.

The genus Actaea contains approximately 20 species, with Actaea racemosa being the most well-known for its medicinal properties. The species name 'racemosa' refers to the plant's raceme-like flower clusters. In traditional medicine, particularly among Native American and European herbal practitioners, black cohosh has been primarily used to address women's reproductive health issues, especially menopausal symptoms. Its roots are the primary part of the plant used in herbal preparations, valued for their potential to alleviate hot flashes, mood swings, and other menopausal discomforts.

The history of organic Black Cohosh Tea is deeply rooted in Native American traditional medicine, where it was used for various health issues, particularly in women's health. Recognized for its therapeutic benefits, Black Cohosh became a staple in herbal medicine, used to treat menopausal symptoms, menstrual cramps, and to promote general well-being. With the rise of organic farming practices, the cultivation of Black Cohosh has evolved to ensure a pesticide-free harvest, enhancing its appeal to those seeking natural and organic remedies. This focus on organic cultivation has preserved the potency and purity of Black Cohosh Tea, solidifying its place in herbal wellness traditions.

Organic Black Cohosh Tea is naturally caffeine-free, making it an excellent choice for individuals seeking to avoid caffeine or reduce their intake. This attribute allows it to be consumed at any time of the day or night without the risk of disturbing sleep patterns. Its lack of caffeine makes it a popular option for those looking for the herbal benefits of teas without the stimulant effects typically associated with traditional tea and coffee.
