Description
Té Tonantzin / In partnership with Arca Tierra
There are places in México that completely change your understanding of food once you see them with your own eyes. The chinampas of Xochimilco are one of those places.
When you arrive at sunrise, you begin to understand not only how our ancestors cultivated food thousands of years ago, but how food was always intended to grow. You understand the relationship between the earth, water, seeds, medicinal plants, biodiversity, nourishment, and community. You understand that protecting the ecosystem and protecting tradition are often the same thing.
At Matriarca, we understand that certain modern processes are necessary in order to bring products to more people. But projects like this one serve as a reminder that some things can still hold onto their original story.
Té Tonantzin was created to bring a small piece of the chinampas into your home.
This blend was developed in partnership with the team at Arca Tierra and agrónoma Ale, who shared with us that this is the first tea blend ever produced by Arca Tierra. The process became an exercise in patience and care. Every leaf and petal was dehydrated slowly and intentionally to preserve not only flavor and aroma, but also the natural colors and textures of the plants themselves.
When you open the tea, it looks almost like confetti from the earth. Different colors, shapes, petals, and textures coming together in a way that feels alive.
All grown from the soil of the chinampas.
Preparation Instructions
Heat fresh water to just below boiling (about 190°F / 88°C). Add 1–2 tsp loose leaf tea per cup and pour water over botanicals. Cover and steep for 5–7 minutes to preserve aroma and delicate plant compounds. Strain and enjoy warm as part of your evening wind-down ritual. Optional: sweeten lightly with agave or honey.

I’ve really been enjoying this tea! 🍵✨ It has become part of my nighttime routine and has helped me relax, sleep better, and wake up feeling more refreshed.

Delicious tea very smooth and soothing and I added some agave nectar and it added just the right amount of sweetness. It's so pretty too. ☺️
Me encantó el sabor!

I got my order recently and as always, it came in beautiful packaging. The tea was really good and like a relaxing treat. The color was a pretty pink and that made it feel more special.
The tea is amazing!! Enjoy having a cup in the evening
Absolutely delicious ❤️
Such a nice way to end a long day. I love it for hot tea but think it’s be delicious iced as well. It’s mild and smells good. Super comforting! I love it unsweetened but I’m sure some Matriarca agave nectar would be delicious!
Love the flavor, and it helped me sleep deeply and wake up refreshed.
This is my 3rd time ordering the Jalapeños! Love them!
This tea is life. From packaging to taste it's out of this world. It smells like heaven. And tastes even better. I drink it at night. It helps me relax. It helps my bloating. And it helps me get a good night's sleep. So good!
Quality, as usual!
Delicious!
1. The jar I received did not have a seal when I removed the cap. 2. The writing on the back of the label is SO SMALL you cannot decipher what herbs are in the mix additionally, the ink is black (I believe) and its very hard to read against the green label.
Beautiful packaging. The tea is delicious and every steamy cup invites memories of my Abuelita (Bipa). Thank you for sharing your heritage with us.
Best nighttime tea I've ever had. Love the subtleties in the blend. Incredible flavor! My 14 year old son also asks me to make one for him most nights :)
I find it to be very comforting
This tea is one of the most beautiful teas I have ever seen. And once you learn where it comes from...just beautiful! It has quickly become part of my evening routine as I wind down for bed. It has a mild taste and is so soothing. I'm very happy to make this part of my continued evening ritual.
Im forever grateful to the Matriarca products, Love them!! Specially because I know how important it is for Chef Marcela to have Clean good products. Trust them infinitely. Thank you Chef Marcela!!
I am not a big tea lover, but love all her products and love this history and culture of our people. I decided to try this tea and am so in love with it and drink daily!!! You need to try this tea. It is simply amazing!!
Such a beautiful experience. So herbal, so connected.
Really loved this blend. Taste like peace in every sip 💗
I love the flavor of the tea, I can taste the quality, work and love that goes into it. I make a happy dance when I see the amaranth’s color sipping through it and know I’ll get to enjoy it soon 💕 If I had to give a suggestion, just a change in font color on the packaging, it’s a bit hard to read for a señora close to needing glasses 🤓
Excellent
My new nighttime must!
Loved it!
Excellent product! Quality and attention to detail superb. The aroma from the tea-relaxing. Drinking the tea calms your nervous system.
I have not had a chance to prepare a cup of tea. The tea looks amazing and the aroma divine.
