The name Cortisol Heart Tea Bundle might sound a little confusing at first. What does cortisol have to do with heart health? Well, actually, a lot.
When you’re stressed, cortisol helps prepare your body for action by increasing heart rate and constricting blood vessels, temporarily raising blood pressure. But when stress becomes chronic, your stress response and cardiovascular system can both stay working overtime.
That’s why we created the Cortisol Heart Tea Bundle, with herbs that support a healthy stress response, blood pressure, circulation, heart health, and restful sleep for daily cortisol and cardiovascular support.
Below, you'll find answers to all the frequently asked questions we get about the Cortisol Heart Tea Bundle.
What comes in the Cortisol Heart Tea Bundle?
The Cortisol Heart Tea Bundle includes two teas: Blood Pressure Support Tea for daytime cardiovascular support and Cortisol Sleep Tea for stress and sleep support.
Together, they’re designed to support a healthy stress response, cardiovascular system, healthy circulation, relaxation, and restful sleep.
What is the difference between the Cortisol Heart Tea Bundle and the Cortisol Tea Bundle?
Both bundles are designed for people who want to support their bodies through ongoing stress, but they have slightly different focuses.
The Cortisol Tea Bundle provides broader whole-body stress support. It’s a great choice if your biggest concerns are things like feeling wired but tired, poor sleep, brain fog, stubborn belly fat, low energy, or simply feeling like your nervous system is constantly on high alert.
The Cortisol Heart Tea Bundle puts additional emphasis on cardiovascular support. It’s a great option if stress management is important to you, but you also want to support healthy blood pressure, circulation, and heart health, particularly as you move through midlife and beyond.
What are the ingredients?
The Blood Pressure Support Tea features hibiscus and hawthorn leaf and flower for cardiovascular and healthy blood pressure support, along with cranberries, cinnamon, ginger, coriander, cardamom, fennel, clove, star anise, orange peel, and white pepper for additional antioxidant, circulatory, and digestive support.
The Cortisol Sleep Tea combines passionflower, chamomile, lemon verbena, lemongrass, lavender, hawthorn leaf and flower, linden, butterfly pea flower, and hibiscus. Calming nervines help relax and support the nervous system for better sleep, while hawthorn and hibiscus provide additional heart and circulatory support.
Can I drink these teas if I take blood pressure medication?
If you take medication for your heart, blood pressure, blood sugar, or another medical condition, talk with your healthcare provider or pharmacist before adding this bundle to your routine. This is especially important with blood pressure medications because herbs such as hibiscus and hawthorn may interact with certain medications or add to their effects.
Can these teas help with both high and low blood pressure?
The Cortisol Heart Tea Bundle is designed to support healthy blood pressure and overall cardiovascular function, rather than push blood pressure in one direction or another. Herbs like hibiscus and hawthorn support the heart and healthy circulation, while the stress-supporting herbs help address another factor that can affect cardiovascular health.
However, if you already have low blood pressure, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using the bundle, since some of these herbs may lower blood pressure further. The same applies if you take medication for high or low blood pressure.
Does the Blood Pressure Tea contain sugar?
The cranberries used in our Blood Pressure Support Tea are lightly sweetened with organic cane sugar. However, you are only steeping a small amount of the cranberries in water and then straining the herbs out, so only a minuscule amount makes it into your finished cup. Less than 1mg per cup.
Can I mix the Blood Pressure Tea and Cortisol Sleep Tea together?
Absolutely! We’ve tried these two teas mixed ourselves and loved the combination. The tart, fruity flavor of the Blood Pressure Support Tea pairs really well with the lighter floral and citrus notes of the Cortisol Sleep Tea.
Simply mix the two teas before steeping for an easy way to get the heart, stress, and nighttime support of both blends in one delicious cup.
Can I use the Blood Pressure Tea with the regular Cortisol Tea Bundle instead?
Yes! You don’t necessarily need to switch bundles.
If you already love The Cortisol Tea Bundle but want additional cardiovascular support, you can simply add Blood Pressure Support Tea to your existing routine.
You can drink it separately or mix it right into your Cortisol Daytime Tea.
Do the Cortisol Heart Teas have caffeine?
No. Both Blood Pressure Support Tea and Cortisol Sleep Tea are caffeine-free.
What do the teas taste like?
Blood Pressure Support Tea is fruity, tart, berry-sweet, and warming. Hibiscus and cranberry provide the bright tartness, while cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, clove, and the other spices give it warmth and depth.
Cortisol Sleep Tea is lighter and more floral, with soothing citrus notes from lemon verbena and lemongrass and a gently tart finish from hibiscus.
Can men drink the Cortisol Heart Tea Bundle?
Absolutely. The herbs in the Cortisol Heart Tea Bundle aren’t just for women.
How long does it take to notice a difference?
Herbal support is about consistency rather than expecting one cup of tea to change everything overnight. Some people notice relaxation or improvements in their sleep fairly quickly, while cardiovascular support is something that may take a little longer.
If you monitor your blood pressure, continue doing so as recommended by your healthcare provider rather than relying on how you feel to determine whether your blood pressure has changed.
How long should I drink the teas?
These teas are designed to become part of your daily routine. A general rule of thumb is for every year you have been dealing with the health complaint, drink the teas for at least a month. So, if you have been dealing with chronic stress for 8 years, drink the teas for at least 8 months. Consistency is key.
Can I drink the teas hot or iced?
Yes! Both can be enjoyed hot or iced.
Can I add sweetener?
Of course. Both teas can be enjoyed without sweetener, but you can add a little honey or your preferred natural sweetener if you like.
Are the herbs organic?
Yes, all the herbs we use at Loose Leaf Tea Market are organically sourced.
How many servings are in each bag?
Each bag contains enough loose-leaf tea to make 30 cups, based on using 1 teaspoon per 8-ounce cup of hot water.
How do I brew the teas?
These are loose-leaf teas; you can use a tea infuser, reusable strainer, or drawstring paper tea filter to make brewing easy.

Can I buy the teas in the Cortisol Heart Bundle separately?
Yes, you can purchase Blood Pressure Support Tea and Cortisol Sleep Tea individually.
Can I drink the Cortisol Heart Tea Bundle while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Pregnancy and breastfeeding aren’t the time to guess with herbs. Because this bundle contains a variety of herbs, talk with your healthcare provider before using it while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Why are the Cortisol Heart Teas so expensive?
This isn’t grocery store tea. We use high-quality, certified organic herbs sourced from regions where each plant thrives best. We also partner with trusted suppliers who perform third-party testing to ensure purity, potency, and safety. You’re investing in real, powerful herbal support and your body will thank you for it. And .67 cents per cup of tea is significantly cheaper than energy drinks or your favorite Starbucks beverage.
Where do you get your herbs from?
We handcraft and ship everything from our Tempe, Arizona facility. Our certified organic ingredients come from around the globe, sourced from the environments where each herb grows best. Our trusted suppliers perform third-party testing for agricultural chemicals, mold, heavy metals, and other contaminants to ensure the highest quality and safety.
