In the hills surrounding Jerusalem, aromatic herbs thrive in dry mountain air and vivid Mediterranean sunlight. ShalvaTea draws on this landscape to create herbal blends that highlight the natural fragrance and character of Israeli grown plants. This Jerusalem Blend combines lemongrass and lemon verbena, two herbs known for their bright citrus aroma and refreshing flavor.

When steeped in hot water, the herbs release a clean, uplifting scent that fills the room before the first sip. Lemongrass contributes a gentle citrus sharpness, while lemon verbena softens the blend with a smooth, lemony sweetness. The result is a light, calming tea that works well at the end of the day or during a quiet moment when you want to slow down and enjoy something simple.

“May there be peace within your walls, tranquility within your palaces.”
Psalm 122:7

ShalvaTea was established in 2014 by David Ross. After completing his master’s degree in forestry at Yale University, David immigrated to Israel and became fascinated by the variety of fragrant herbs growing in the Judean Mountains. Inspired by their natural qualities and traditional uses, he began creating herbal tea blends that showcase Israeli grown plants. The name “Shalva,” meaning tranquility in Hebrew, reflects the calm moment he hopes each cup of tea will provide.
