On the dunes of Ustka, amid the wind and salty mist from the sea, ripens a plant that can hardly be mistaken for any other. Its small, orange fruits glisten in the autumn sun like amber scattered on the sand. For centuries, sea buckthorn - the "lemon of the north" - has delighted not only with its color, but also with the power it hides within. It is from its fruits that an infusion is made, which can warm the body and soothe thoughts after a long walk along the seashore.

Gold from the coastal dunes

Sea buckthorn grows where few other plants can manage - on the cliffs, sands and windy dunes near Ustka. The salt air, sea breeze and harsh climate make its fruits extremely hardy and full of nutritional value. In autumn, the bushes shimmer an intense orange, giving the coast its characteristic warm hue. It is not without reason that they are referred to as "Baltic gold" - it is one of the most characteristic sights by the sea at this time of year.

Power locked in every drop

In the small fruit of the sea buckthorn is hidden the true essence of health. It is a natural source of vitamin C - it contains several times more of it than a lemon. It is also rich in vitamins A, E, K and B vitamins, as well as omega-3, -6, -7 and -9 unsaturated fatty acids. It supports immunity, acts anti-inflammatory, accelerates regeneration and improves the condition of the skin. For a body weakened by the autumn aura, it is a natural ally. An infusion of sea buckthorn relieves cold symptoms, supports the thyroid gland and gives energy when the days get shorter and the sun starts to be scarce.

Taste of autumn locked in a cup

Sea buckthorn tea has a unique character - slightly sour, with a hint of sweetness and a delicate bitterness that blends perfectly with honey and orange slices. It's a drink with a deep aroma, reminiscent of a walk among the dunes on a cool but bright day. With just the first sip, you can feel the warmth spreading throughout your body and the calm that the sea brings after the season.
