Spring is a time of newness and invigoration when the earth begins to wake up after a long winter nap. Families are finally able to go outside without layers of clothing and the slight warmth of a spring breeze brings a feeling of renewed energy. Every season is accompanied by a bouquet of smells and flavors, experiences that seem new to us every year.
Spring teas are one way that you can share
this season with your friends and family, so start your kettle and keep reading
for a few of our favorite brews.
Hibiscus Tea
If you’re ready to dust off your patio
furniture and sit outside with a cup of tea, you truly can’t go wrong with the
clean, citrusy flavors of hibiscus. Hibiscus teas have been shown to boost health
on number of different fronts. A cup of hibiscus tea each day can bring balance
to the blood, boost immunity, support a healthy metabolism, and may help calm
nervous disorders.
To brew hibiscus tea for yourself, steep loose
tea or a tea bag in a mug of hot water for 5 minutes and enjoy the gorgeous
crimson color. Serve either hot or cold and steep with honey for a bit of
sweetness.
Our
Recommendation: We love Organic Hibiscus Tea from Gaia Herbs.
This unique and colorful tea is made from organic hibiscus and mandarin orange
peel essential oil for a tangy fragrance you’ll go back to again and again.
Teas
with Sinus Support
Spring may be a time for lovely flowers and
free green buds, but for many it’s a time of sneezing, itching, and seasonal health issues. Certain blends of
herbs and botanicals can bring relief, reducing sinus issues and providing a
comforting experience. The right cup of tea can not only bring relief for
seasonal symptoms but can boost your immune system, ensuring you can ward off
whatever germs you pick up on your dash to the store or jog around the
neighborhood.
Our
Recommendation: If you’re looking for a tea that
provides sinus support, try Sinus Comfort Tea from Gaia Herbs. This tea
contains a gentle, botanical aroma of rosemary leaf and sage, as well as
oregano, thyme, and marshmallow root. This blend of effective herbs offers
calming support for your sinuses and senses no matter what the spring pollen
throws your way.
Spring
Tea Blends
Spring teas don’t have to contain only one
ingredient alone. Some of our favorite teas are a delicate blend of herbs which
merry together for delicious drinking experience. Citrus notes often blend well
with minty herbs to create a balanced experience. Many tea blends are perfect
for all ages and can be enjoyed any time of the day or night. There are even teas that help you sleep!
Our
Recommendation: For an all day sipping tea your entire
family will enjoy, Easy Day Tea from Mountain
Rose Herbs. Containing a blend of Blackberry, peppermint, snd lemon balm, this tasty blend is sure to be a hit!
