I've been adding this to my evening tea for about three weeks now, mainly for the natural silica. The dried cut is clean with barely any dust in the bag, which I appreciate.

Steeped a tablespoon in hot water for about ten minutes and the tea came out mild, almost grassy. I've been drinking it daily for my hair and nails, and the silica content is exactly why I switched to this dried herb instead of capsules.

The stems are surprisingly crisp and clean, with a deep green color that tells me it was dried properly. I’ve been steeping it every morning for two weeks now and the silica content is exactly why I bought it—my hair and nails feel stronger already.
