1. Mint Teas

Mint teas are full of relaxing effects, helping to soothe the body and calm the mind. Often bright minty notes such as Peppermint or Spearmint are blended with the refreshing taste of lemongrass, making it a perfect option for a soothing, uplifting morning cup. Moroccan Mint tea, a blend of the finest Chinese gunpowder tea and exceptional quality spearmint, is another perennial favorite.

Our Organic Bloom Chamomile Bliss is made with the highest quality chamomile available, and the large, fragrant flower heads make for a sweet and floral cup that’s perfect for soothing the body and mind. For an extra treat, enjoy it with a generous portion of honey! 

3. Lavender Teas

Lavender is another herb that has been shown to relieve stress and promote relaxation, making it a soothing addition to many of our teas and herbal infusions.

4. Rose Teas

Used for centuries in everything from rose water to essential oils, rose petals have been shown to have a potent relaxing effect.

A powerhouse wellness blend that will restore your inner zen every time, with a perfect balance of light and earthy  combining with sweet and floral character. 

5. Matcha

Most teas made from the camellia sinensis plant contain some amount of L-theanine, a unique amino acid that promotes relaxation and stress relief. In particular, matcha has even higher levels of L-theanine than other teas, the result of the shaded growth period the tea undergoes before harvest. The combination of caffeine and L-theanine is known for producing a calm, meditative state and what matcha enthusiasts often refer to as a body high.
