Meet our new herbal beauty teas, your supplemental skincare solution of the future. While exploring different ways to take skincare one step further, we realized that herbal tea benefits could be reimagined as a powerful enhancement to your daily beauty ritual. Optimizing your skin health through nutrition is something Tata has always found inspiration in, and we’ve now created an innovative format to deliver it from the inside-out.
To bring this idea to life, we partnered with Art of Tea, a Los Angeles-based company that hand-blends the world’s finest organic tea and botanicals. Like us, they’re fascinated by the power of nature and obsessed with finding top tier ingredients. Together, we explored countless herbs to find the right cocktail of pure bioactive botanicals that can help you function at peak health while defending against aging from all directions. We can’t wait for you to discover our Tata Harper Skincare x Art of Tea herbal beauty teas.

“I’ve always believed that healthy skin goes beyond skincare and for me. This time, I wanted to turn inwards and focus on a practice that would help cultivate healthy skin from the inside out. - Tata
To get to the core of aging, we focused on creating herbal beauty teas that could defend from all directions, featuring botanical bioactives that help support stress relief and boost immunity from the inside out.* Aside from treating your body to phytonutrients, we also made these teas to encourage you to treat your mind to restfulness.
“Drinking tea is a practice that's rooted in slowing down and being present,” says Tata. “I've also always been obsessed with drinking tea since it has so many good-for-you phytonutrients — it's my favorite way to get my wellness in all day, every day. So in collaboration with The Art of Tea, I curated these tea blends that are designed to turn on your body's defense systems, defend your body against aging, and help you feel, look, and be your best.”

Daily stress ages you and directly affects your skin, manifesting physically in skin conditions including psoriasis, eczema, and acne. Psychological stress can also disrupt your skin barrier, triggering inflammation that leads to disruption in your natural barrier function and excess oil production. Realistically, we know there’s no magical way to eradicate stress from our lives entirely. But, we can equip ourselves with toolkits to support our minds and bodies accordingly. That’s why we made our Float Like a Butterfly Herbal Beauty Tea, the first of our two caffeine-free, stimulant-free blends. This tea is made for anyone experiencing more intense, frequent or sustained stressors. The ingredients we chose have been shown to help minimize prolonged exposure to spiked stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline and calm overactive minds.*

Nervines (like the lemongrass and rose in this blend) are types of herbs intended to nourish and support your central nervous system.* They’re typically used to relieve muscle tension, anxious thoughts, restless nights and overall stress.* Meanwhile, adaptogens (like butterfly pea and tulsi) aren’t specific to a single body system, but work overall to help your body find balance. These functional herbs have been shown to enhance your body’s ability to adapt to stress while providing a wide variety of vitamins and antioxidants.*

As we age, so do our immune systems. Immuno-aging refers to the decline in the effectiveness of your immune system due to a lowered functioning of B-cells and decreased production of antibodies. On the flipside, immuno-rejuvenation is the natural way your immune cells renew themselves. Most of our active immune system resides in our gut. An unhealthy gut microbiome will manifest itself in many ways, including skin issues such as dry patches and acne. To help it thrive, we need to feed it with a wide range of phytonutrients. We made our Flourish Like a Flower Herbal Beauty Tea to support your inner health starting from your gut — because you’re only as young as your immune system.*
Flourish Like a Flower contains a phytonutrient-rich blend of tartary buckwheat, nettle, green rooibos, lemongrass, sage, and lavender with purifying and immuno-rejuvenating properties to support a healthy immune system and protect from within.* These bioactive botanicals have been shown to support a healthy immune system while providing a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.* Its hero ingredient is tartary buckwheat, a next-generation superfood known as one of the most immune-active, nutrient-dense foods in the world. It boasts over 100 phytonutrients and key antioxidants for skin health, gut health, and collagen production.* We paired it with a supporting cast of botanicals that are equally rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals. Drinking this tea brings you a wonderfully purifying experience, thanks to the cleansing, soothing properties of sage and lavender.
BEAUTIFUL SKIN STARTS HERE: BEYOND THE TOPICALS

We can’t wait for you to experience this beauty metamorphosis. Sip slow. Drink intentionally. Glow from within.
