Our choice of name is simply a nod to the essential role played by this natural ingredient - Hops. Hops contain Valerenic Acid, which has calming properties, and we discovered that certain teas and hops complement each other perfectly, resulting in a unique and delicious taste. By brewing our premium teas and hops together at a low temperature, we are able to achieve a natural sweetness without the need for sugar or artificial sweeteners. We believe that Hoptonic represents the perfect balance of taste and natural goodness.
