Arctic Warriors

The arctic conditions, harsh winters and nightless nights of summer, make Lapland a rather unique growing environment loading our herbs and berries with powerful substances, which cannot be artificially copied.
Roseroot and Angelica, herbs native to Lapland, have a long history. Already the Vikings and the Sami people knew their healing powers. Somewhere along the way, however, the modern man forgot these natural healers and they remained forgotten.

These wonderful Lappish herbs are now available to us through the story of three Arctic Warriors – Defence, Endurance and Energy – who used to help the ancient people and are now replenishing the modern man.

We've tested the three, they all taste herbal, delicious and an amazing packaging...  for me the favorite is endurance! Providing balanced energy throughout the day with a yummy flavor :)
