Last year we introduced D Tea F, an aphrodisiac tea. Both men and women can benefit from drinking this tea! Many guests have asked us what about this blend makes it an aphrodisiac. Let’s dive into the ingredients! D Tea F is a blend of damiana leaf, rose petals, lemon balm, hibiscus, ashwagandha and rose black tea.
