A traditional, caffeine-free blend inspired by seafaring heritage
Sailor’s Brew is a distinctive blend rooted in tradition, originally developed as a comforting drink for hardworking communities. Rich in roasted, nutty notes, this caffeine-free tea combines brown rice, codonopsis root, foxnuts, ginseng, licorice and goji berries into a grounding brew with depth and character.
A heritage recipe, reimagined for modern tea drinkers.
The Origins of Sailor’s Brew: A Story of Survival and Discovery
Sailor’s Brew came from a little-known chapter in nutritional history — the discovery of Vitamin B through humble rice.
In the late 19th century, Asian sailors on long sea voyages often suffered from beriberi, a debilitating disease that caused weakness, nerve damage, and fatigue. For years, the cause remained a mystery. It wasn’t until researchers observed that those consuming unpolished rice remained healthy, while those eating polished white rice fell ill, that a breakthrough emerged.
The key lay in the brown rice polishings — the outer layer of the grain, rich in what we now know as Vitamin B1 (thiamine).
Long before this discovery was scientifically understood, sailors had already stumbled upon a practical solution. Some began soaking brown rice in water, creating a simple, nourishing brew that extracted these essential nutrients. This humble preparation helped sustain them through long journeys at sea, reducing the risk of beriberi and restoring vitality.
Sailor’s Brew reimagines this age-old practice. Crafted from roasted brown rice and thoughtfully blended with complementary herbs, it pays tribute to both tradition and resilience — transforming a survival remedy into a comforting, everyday wellness tea.
A brew born at sea, rediscovered for modern wellbeing.
