Why Drink Elderberry Tea?
American elderberries are naturally rich in anthocyanins and other antioxidants that help protect your cells from oxidative stress. Many people enjoy elderberry as part of a daily wellness routine because research suggests regular consumption may support immune health, healthy inflammation response, heart health, digestion, and overall vitality.
While elderberry tea isn't a replacement for our concentrated syrups, it's a comforting, caffeine-free (or low-caffeine, depending on the blend) way to make elderberry part of your everyday routine.

Why Our Teas are Different from Other Brands.
Not all elderberry teas are the same.
At Popple Tree Creek Farms, we grow American elderberries right here on our family farm in northern Minnesota. Our tea blends include our own elderberries and elderflowers, carefully paired with herbs we love like hibiscus, mullein, chamomile, lemon balm, or spruce tips to create blends that are both enjoyable to drink and thoughtfully crafted for different occasions.
Whether you're looking for a bright, fruity tea to start your day or a calming herbal blend before bed, every cup begins with the same commitment to quality ingredients, small-batch production, and American-grown elderberries.

FAQs about our elderberry teas...
Is it good to drink elderberry tea every day?
Absolutely. Research has shown that elderberry provides the most benefits when taken daily.
Can kids drink elderberry tea?
Our kids love drinking elderberry and elderflower teas. Our Elderberry Hibiscus Tea has small amounts of caffeine from the white tea, but our others are caffeine free, and safe for kids.
What form of elderberry is most effective?
If you're looking to boost your immunity and support the rest of your health more effectively, drinking the syrups are a more potent form of elderberry than tea. We like to add a spoonful of the syrup to our tea to sweeten it and add flavor in addition to the health benefits.
Is elderberry tea better hot or cold?
You can enjoy our teas hot or cold! It's totally up to your preference, and it won't reduce the effectiveness of the elderberries or other ingredients. For drinking the deep breath tea while sick, we find it to be more soothing when sipping hot.
Does elderberry tea make you sleepy?
Elderberry does not contain any natural sedatives. Our Elderberry Hibiscus Tea is energizing, and includes a touch of caffeine. If you are looking for a tea to make you feel sleepy, our Night Time Ritual is perfect. It includes elderflower, chamomile, lemon balm, and tulsi, which all have naturally calming and relaxing properties. Which makes it a perfect drink before bed.
