Throat Coat®

| Average Customer Rating:

Winner of 2014 Cleanest Packaged Foods Award, Prevention magazine

Personality
Smooth and silky.

Herbal Power
Helps you sing it loud, say it proud, stand up and be heard.

Reason to Love
Slippery elm or Ulmus rubra (Latin for “red elm,” so called for its lovely reddish bark) is a beautiful, native North American elm tree. It’s the inner bark of this tree that is actually called “slippery elm” due to its, yes, slippery, smooth, and slimy-in-a-good-way properties. Combined with licorice and marshmallow root, we think this tea blend is like taking your voice to the spa—because we all need a little comfort sometimes so we can get back to being our best.

Taste
Sweet and earthy, silky, with a distinct licorice taste.

This Tea Changed my Life

“After drinking a mug of this tea thirty minutes before each performance, I was able to perform and sing better than ever. The taste can be tricky at first but once you're used to it, it will be worth it, I promise!”

Great for soothing the Throat

“This is a great product for me in that I do a lot of public speaking and my voice is crucial to making presentations, teaching and preaching. I use it daily as a substitute to drinking coffee.”

Wonderfully earthy

“It has the most earthy fragrance and taste and does wonders for your throat. You can actually feel it 'coating' your throat with its goodness. Love the fact that it comes from environmentally conscious manufacturers. Definitely my favorite herbal tea.”

Love it!

“First Traditional Medicinals tea I have ever tried and I'm hooked! If my throat ever starts to feel scratchy I reach for this. If I run out I always pick up more to keep in stock even if I'm not sick because when I am I have to have this.”

What’s in your cup?

One of the primary sources of wild slippery elm bark (an ingredient in this tea) is in Eastern Kentucky. We are honored to partner with rural Appalachian families there who approach their bark collection with a deep reverence for the trees and plants of these hilly forests. Carefully harvesting limited and sustainable amounts of the bark by hand, they are maintaining the health of the trees, and preserving this precious resource for generations to come.

Rated 5 out of 5 by IAmSopralto from This tea... Oh this tea! I am a vocal major in college, and my voice gets tired from singing all day every day. I wanted an organic tea to sooth it, so I figured I would give Throat Coat a try. I am in love, people! I drink a cup every morning on my way to class as well as at the end of every day. This tea makes my voice feel very nice and ready for use, and I strongly believe that it also helps with smooth performance. I have recommended this tea to many other vocalists, and they are all hooked as well!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Eileen from Throat Coat really works! Between singing practices and singing to the public, my throat has become a bit hoarse, so I started using Throat Coat. I can feel the coating settle in my throat. Last evening, after a long day of talking and practicing my songs, my throat worried me. It was feeling dry and scratchy, so I steeped some Throat Coat with some honey added. Wow - in minutes the scratchiness in my throat was gone! From now on, I'm going to coat my throat with this tea before and after singing. God bless, Eileen Shaver

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great product I bought this product soon as I received it there was already a buzz from people asking me about it. After using this product I can tell the difference in my singing and voice. Would recommend to any musician singers performers a natural way to keep that vocal chord in tact and good shape.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Susan CD from Throat Coat is still my favorite! Throat Coat has been my "go-to" tea whenever I have a lot of singing or performing to do. Although our local supermarket does stock it, sometimes they run out of the original variety. It's wonderful to have it delivered to my doorstep.

Rated 5 out of 5 by judyg from Great Benefits! I bought this item awhile back, and I'm so happy I did. Working at a bank with a sales position, I talk all day long and this tea provides a coat for my throat and prevents it from getting dry and itchy. Great taste as well!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ebony from The Best I tried this for the first time about two months ago because I am a singer. I've never my life been a tea drinker or a hot beverage drinker. Now I have to make sure I keep at least two boxes on hand at all times. This tea is soooooo freakin delicious!! All of Traditional Medicinals tea are good.
