The tea is made from a combination of herbs and plants that grow locally, including bilberry, spruce, and juniper. The exact composition of Vaikimistee can vary depending on the recipe used, but it is generally characterized by its distinctive flavor and aroma.

The name "Vaikimistee" translates to "quiet tea" or "silence tea" in English. This name is derived from the idea that the tea can help to promote a sense of calmness and tranquility. Vaikimistee has been traditionally consumed in Estonia, particularly in the regions of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa, where it is considered a folk remedy for various health ailments.

Some of the claimed health benefits of Vaikimistee include improved digestion, reduced inflammation, and enhanced immune function. However, it is worth noting that there is limited scientific research on the subject, and the effectiveness of Vaikimistee as a medicinal remedy has not been extensively studied.

Vaikimistee is often consumed hot, with some recipes adding honey or lemon for flavor. It can also be served cold, similar to iced tea. In recent years, Vaikimistee has gained popularity among health-conscious consumers, particularly those interested in traditional and local herbal remedies. Efforts have been made to standardize the production of Vaikimistee, ensuring that the tea is made from high-quality ingredients and following traditional recipes.
