Herbal Tea: Flowers
There’s nothing like the soft, sweet and reassuring nature of flowers when it comes to relaxation. Slowly sprinkle our floral teas into a pot, watch as it brews, and decant to a steaming mug, blooming with natural perfume.
Herbal Tea: Fruit
Forget fake flavourings and get stuck into real, juicy fruit teas. Ours are a blend of natural fruit pieces, with flowers and herbs, for a cup packed with amazing aroma and really satisfying taste.
Herbal Tea: Herbs
The herbs in our teas are dried slowly to retain as much essential oil as possible. Upon infusion, they impart their incredible fragrance and taste for lasting flavour and a truly invigorating experience.
How to Make Herbal Tea
While there are some basic rules for herbal tea, you can really take the time to learn how best you like to enjoy them. We recommend the following tips to start:
+ Use fresh, filtered water
+ Balance your tea to water ratio – start with the instructions and then decide how you prefer it
+ Using boiling water, infuse for three to five minutes, depending on how strong you like it
+ Decant fully
+ We would also recommend glass tea ware so you can fully appreciate and admire the infusion as you wait
+ Our Self Filling Cornfibre Tea Bags are great for making loose leaf more convenient, too
Herbal Tea: Gifts
Don’t keep our teas a secret! A tea gift is such a generous one, as it continues to offer pleasure time and time again. Our Duo Sets are a great shout with different combinations of loose leaf teas such as Organic Ginger Breeze and Moroccan Mint.
Herbal Tea: Roots & Seeds
As well as being delicious, herbal teas can often be of great health benefit, which is why we’re always looking for new and interesting ingredients, especially roots like liquorice and seeds like caraway.
