Why we label the evidence

Most tea-and-health writing online treats a petri-dish study and a large clinical trial as if they say the same thing. They don't. We read the research, label every claim strong, moderate, limited, or traditional use, and link the studies so you can check us.

Plenty of beloved herbal remedies land on “traditional use, little clinical evidence.” We say so anyway.
