What is Oatstraw ?
Oatstraw (Avena sativa) is an herb in the grass family that comes from the oat plant. Oatstraw tea is made from the plant’s green stems and leaves, which are harvested before the oats fully mature. For thousands of years, oatstraw has been valued as both a food source and an herb used in traditional wellness practices.

Tap a note to explore it
Earthy
Earthy teas taste grounded and full. Their flavor lives close to the source, in soil, root, leaf, and wood, giving them a depth that fruit and floral blends simply don't reach. Smooth, low in bitterness, and satisfying in a way that feels nourishing.
Grassy
Grassy teas taste young and alive. Their flavor comes from leaves picked at their freshest, all sweet greens and clean vegetal brightness with a finish that refreshes rather than lingers.
Sweet
Sweet teas taste like sugar that was never added. Honey, ripe fruit, and soft florals rise straight out of the leaf, giving these cups a gentle roundness with no bitterness to work around. Easy to love, easy to brew, and the friendliest doorway into loose leaf.
