Heart Happy – This tea has been discontinued. It had mostly the same ingredients as the Healing Heart tea; however, some ingredients were contraindicated for those on blood thinners and the cayenne pepper made for a spicy tea, no matter how little I put in. I will leave the ingredients posted so those of you who have purchased can see the differences and similarities.
