Zhivana Organics Horsetail Tea (Cola de Caballo) is an organic, wild-harvested 3 oz fine-cut herb sourced from Albania, designed for brewing herbal infusions and botanical preparations.

Handpicked from remote Albanian hillsides and gently dried to preserve its color and aroma, this horsetail (Equisetum arvense) arrives as a fine-cut herb ideal for steeping, blending, or crafting homemade preparations. Its earthy, green profile makes it a versatile addition to tea blends, tinctures, and traditional botanical recipes. Packaged by Zhivana Organics with minimal processing, the herb is offered without additives so you receive a pure, single-ingredient botanical.

What makes this horsetail different from supermarket herbs?

This horsetail is wild-harvested in the Albanian highlands and dried with care to retain its natural color and texture. Because it’s hand-collected from pristine sites and not heavily processed, the herb maintains a more authentic aroma and leaf structure than many mass-produced alternatives.

• Wild-harvested, not cultivated, from remote Albanian locations
• Gently dried to preserve color and herbal integrity
• Fine-cut for efficient infusion without excessive dust
• No additives, fillers, or preservatives

How should I prepare this horsetail for tea or infusions?

Use about 1–2 teaspoons of fine-cut horsetail per cup and steep in hot (not boiling) water for 8–12 minutes for a balanced extraction. It pairs well with complementary herbs such as nettle, lemon balm, or chamomile to round out flavor and aroma.

• Recommended steep time: 8–12 minutes at 90–95°C (195–203°F)
• Suggested dose: 1–2 teaspoons per 8 oz cup
• Try blending with nettle or lemon balm for milder taste
• Also suitable for cold infusions and homemade tinctures

What practical uses does fine-cut horsetail have in herbal crafting?

Beyond making tea, this fine-cut horsetail is sized for easy use in reusable tea bags, mesh infusers, or homemade extracts. It’s convenient for small-batch botanical projects where a consistent particle size improves infusion and straining.

• Ready for sachets, infusers, and tea blends without additional chopping
• Works well in alcohol or glycerin tinctures when strained properly
• Suitable as a component in DIY herbal formulas and topical preparations
• Fine cut reduces sediment in brewed teas and makes measuring easier
