Inner Code is a cycle-syncing herbal tea brand rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. We make loose-leaf blends designed to match the four phases of your menstrual cycle — Flow (menstrual), Renew (follicular), Glow (ovulation), and Ground (luteal). Each blend uses organic whole herbs, fruits, and flowers with no additives or fillers, and we ship across Canada and the US.

Each blend is made to support how you feel in that phase of your cycle. Flow is warming and grounding for the first days of your period. Renew is bright and restoring in the follicular phase. Glow is light and refreshing around ovulation. Ground is calming and cozy in the luteal days leading up to your period. They're food-first herbal teas — a gentle daily ritual, not a medication.

Inner Code isn't a single tea — it's four blends built around your menstrual cycle. Regular tea is one flavor you drink anytime; our blends are caffeine-free herbal formulas, each matched to a specific phase and rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. There's no black or green tea base, so nothing keeps you up at night.

Every blend is made from organic whole herbs, fruits, and flowers, with nothing artificial. Flow: ginger root, fennel seed, and aged mandarin peel. Renew: goji berries, jujube (red dates), chrysanthemum, and aged mandarin peel. Glow: chrysanthemum, goji berries, and osmanthus. Ground: burdock root, rose petals, and aged mandarin peel.

Cycle syncing means matching what you eat, drink, and do to the four phases of your menstrual cycle — menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal. Inner Code makes loose-leaf herbal teas rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, with a blend for each phase: Flow for your period, Renew for after, Glow for ovulation, and Ground for the week before. Your daily cup shifts as your body does — no apps or strict protocols required.

Some ingredients are certified organic, some aren't. We'd rather tell you that plainly than slap "organic" on the pouch and hope you don't read closely. Every botanical is sourced through Canadian wholesalers and chosen for quality and origin first. Direct farm relationships in East Asia are the long-term plan — we're getting there!

No. The blends are made with whole botanicals only — no artificial flavors, sweeteners, preservatives, or colors. What you see in the pouch is exactly what you’re drinking.

No. All Inner Code blends are naturally caffeine-free herbal teas, made without tea leaves (camellia sinensis). You can drink them at any time of day, including in the evening.

One serving in an infuser, just-boiled water, 5–7 minutes — that's it. The whole botanicals hold up to a third steep, so each serving stretches to three cups. Every kit ships with a ritual guide that shows you exactly how to brew each blend and when in your month to drink it.

Give it one full cycle. Herbal teas are gentle by design, and consistency is what makes the ritual work — a daily cup matched to your phase, for a whole month. That's why theritual tea kit kit covers your complete cycle: it makes the full test easy. Subscribe and it shows up before you run out.

All Inner Code blends are free from common allergens including gluten, soy, nuts, and dairy. They do contain whole botanicals — note that chrysanthemum (in Renew and Glow) belongs to the daisy family, so if you're sensitive to ragweed or related plants, review the ingredient list carefully or check with your healthcare practitioner before drinking.

Our teas are made from food-grade herbs, but every body is different. Some herbs in our blends aren't recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so if you're pregnant, nursing, trying to conceive, or taking any medication, we recommend checking with your healthcare provider before adding them to your routine. If you're on hormonal birth control, the teas can still be part of your day — just talk to your provider if you have any concerns.

Not at all — the teas work whether you track closely, loosely, or not at all, and irregular cycles are welcome here. Use the ritual guide included with the kit for structure, or simply match the tea to what your body's doing. Consistency matters more than timing.

We ship across Canada and the United States. Orders are sent from Canada, and shipping is calculated at checkout.
