Herbal Teas

Much of the therapeutic value of herbal teas is in their precious essential oils that can easily evaporate unless the tea stands covered in a teapot. Generally, the finer fresh herbs are chopped the more they will yield their flavour. To gather Lemon Balm on a summer's day, let it steep in the pot and then sip it whilst reclining in a shady grove of the garden, is bliss indeed!

For pre-dried cut herbs, pour a cup of boiling water over a heaped teaspoon of the herb and allow to stand for 5-10 minutes. Some may prefer to use a little added honey. If so, choose honey the less heated or treated in any way. It is usually wise to not keep taking the same herb or mix of herbs past a few days unless under the guidance of a practitioner. Continued use of one herb may aggravate the very symptoms you are trying to alleviate.

All our teas are free of caffeine. Their flavours are often subtle compared to the more well-known Indian teas, yet these teas can be both refreshing and healing. For maximum enjoyment keep them stored in glass jars away from the light.

Our teas are individually priced, but average out at about $3.50 / 50gm.
