Health Through Ingredients
Yerba Mate
A holly shrub native to South America, this naturally occurring caffeinated plant has more medicinal properties than tea with almost the same caffeine content per serving as coffee. Unlike both tea and coffee, Yerba Mate is heart-healthy, does not raise blood pressure, has incredible amounts of antioxidants and minerals, and creates a smooth caffeine buzz.
Rooibos
Also known as "Red Tea," this shrub native to South Africa touts many health benefits. It is caffeine-free, low in tannins which allows better absorption of nutrients such as iron, packed with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, heart-healthy, and alkaline which is great for digestive issues such as ulcers. It can be thought of as nature's Motrin.
White, Green, and Black Tea
We all know and love the classics: White, Green, and Black tea. These teas are known for boosting your immune system, fighting inflammation, and even warding off cancer and heart disease. You will always obtain a steadier caffeine buzz than coffee, and also without a crash. There's plenty of evidence that regularly drinking tea can have a lasting impact on your health.
Turmeric
This root holds formidable influence in the health world, and for good reason. The bright color indicates the presence of curcumin, which is a phytonutrient that protects the body from free-radicals such as pollution and sunlight. It fights inflammation, digestive disorders, respiratory infections, allergies, liver disease, depression, and much more.
Best consumed as a tea! Any turmeric supplement you buy will always be of lower quality than whole turmeric. Since we process and dry our turmeric by hand, our teas contain a medicinal amount of curcumin, boosting health benefits more than a pill ever could.
Ginger Root
This root is the key to digestive health. Gingerol, the active component of the ginger root, encourages efficient digestion, relieves nausea, reduces pain, and boosts skin health.
Pineapple Rind
The outer layer of the pineapple fruit can be seen as nature's multi-vitamin. Vitamin B, C, folate, and niacin, and loads of antioxidants make this an easy health choice. The rind also contains a compound called Bromelain, a powerful anti-inflammatory. Drink this tea in the morning and find yourself feeling your best.
How to make the perfect cup of tea:
-
Water Temperature
Preparing the perfect cup of tea begins with the water.
- Too hot can make it taste bitter.
- Too cold will not bring out the full flavor of the tea.
- Black/Herbal teas: 205° F
- Green/White teas: 175-180° F
- Yerba Mate: 160-180° F
Quick Tip:
If you don't have a thermometer: Boil water and remove from heat. Let it sit for 2 minutes to bring the water down to black/herbal tea steeping temperatures and 4 minutes to bring it down to green/white tea steeping temperatures.
-
Tea Serving Size
The amount of tea you steep is as important to taste as water temperature.
- Too little and it will taste weak.
- Too much and it will be overpowering.
- 2 g of tea is enough for 16 oz (or a tall mug) of water.
- If you want iced tea, increase amount of tea.
- Everyone's tastes are different! Start at 2 g and experiment.
Quick Tip:
If you don't have a scale, just fill a bit less than half of a tea ball, or measure out 1 teaspoon.
-
Steep Time
There is a thin line between an under-steeped, weak cup of tea and bitter, acidic leaf water.
- Green Tea: 1-2 mins
- White: 2-3 mins
- Black: 3-5 mins
- Yerba Mate: 5 mins
- Rooibos: 5-7 mins
- Herbal: up to 15 mins
-
Sweeten It Up!
Don't be afraid to throw in your favorite sweetener.
- Our teas are zero to low sugar, so there's always room for more sweet.
- Honey goes great with our teas.
