elixirs







Elixir tonics & teas has traveled the world in search of the fabled, mystical and often secret herbal formulas that have inspired legends, transformed cultures, and opened gateways and frontiers—real and surreal.

From a "Bula Bula" South Pacific island paradise; from the other side of the Great Wall of China; from an old brujo on the edge of Urubamba plateau; an exhaustive search through medieval archives and from the great North America native cultures, we have gleaned and assembled a truly amazing array of some of the world's most wondrous tonics.

Choose a destination, be it wellness or well being—a tonic to lighten the way. Gan Bei!



Gan Bei! (pronounced gone-bay) is a salutation like "Bottom's up!" or, "Cheers!" Literally translated as "empty cup", the metaphorical significance to the sages of old reflected a greater state of enlightenment, like that of an "empty vessel" containing nothing yet the essence of all things.
Served daily at the apothecary—cold, with sparkling or flat water, or hot like a tea.
