So Many Tea Blends... So little Time!
There is something about the ritual of making a cup of tea that transcends space and time. For thousands of years and all over the world, people have been combining leaves and hot water to create simple beverages that are deeply nourishing to both the body and soul. Many cultures have their own traditions surrounding tea making, some viewing it as a sacred art.
The health benefits of tea
Drinking tea has many health benefits beyond just hydration, from the antioxidants, vitamins and minerals found in the leaves of the tea plant, camellia sinensis, to the myriad of medicinal benefits that herbal teas can offer!
Why loose leaf tea?
Loose leaf tea is preferred by many tea connoisseurs for it’s superior freshness, quality and flavor and providing the ability to make your own blends. Compared to tea that comes pre-packaged in individual bags, which often contains tea that has been ground down into a dust, loose leaf tea contains whole or lightly ground leaves, which create a stronger, more consistent flavor. Brewing loose leaf tea also gives the dried leaves more room to expand, allowing a greater concentration of medicinal constituents, as in the blend you see here, as well as many nutrients, including antioxidants, vitamins, minerals to infuse into the hot water.
Lastly, loose leaf tea is a more environmentally friendly alternative because many pre-packaged tea bags contain plastic, either in the material of the bag or in the adhesives used to keep the bag together. In addition to being non-recyclable and non-compostable and polluting the environment, these plastics can begin to break down in the hot water leaking plastic particles into the drink itself.
Herbal teas are made with the fresh or dried leaves, flowers, fruit, seeds or roots of an edible plant. My Herbal blends are all naturally caffeine-free, which makes them a popular choice for those monitoring their caffeine intake.
Herbal teas are a great way to bring natural remedies into someone's life, combined with the act of brewing & then sitting with your cup of Herbal goodness can all bring a sense of calm wellness!
You are likely familiar with the concept of sipping chamomile tea to help you fall asleep at night.
As I always say... "no matter what you say... I make a Tea for that!!"
There are so many healing plants at our fingertips - or in our backyards, that once you start on your healing / wellness path you will appreciate the wild plants & the healing they can bring in a tea cup!
