Favorite herbal teas?
What are your favorite herbal teas? Looking for some new things to try this summer! Thanks!
I don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, but Fusion Teas has some pretty good tisanes: http://www.fusionteas.com/
I am a big fan of Rooibos. (Being careful not to call it “tea” because it does not come from the camellia sinensis plant)
South African Rooibos is caffeine free and light. It has a very earthy taste and is quite refreshing. I’ve heard rumor that the air in South Africa smells like Rooibos!
If you like Rooibos ( I do as well ;) I would highly suggest “Red Lavender” by Zhena’s Gypsy Teas http://www.gypsytea.com/Red-Lavender-Loose-Leaf—P146C32.aspx
It is incredibly smooth and relaxing.! Their “Italian Chamomile” is also a wonderful tea for nighttime, one of my favorites..I drink it every night ;) A great tea company!! ;-)
Thanks, I’ll check it out! Anything new really is what I’m looking for.
Your quite welcome! heres some background info on Rooibos if you’re interested in learning more about it: http://epiteablog.com/what-is-rooibos-tea/
I really like Souvia’s Spring Fling (http://www.souviatea.com/store/Spring-Fling.html), it’s a pretty unique herbal. I find that many of the flavors in herbal blends (non-rooibos) overlap and make them taste similar, but this one has eucalyptus and a couple other elements you don’t see that often.
My favorite though would have to be Rishi’s Bergamot Sage (http://www.rishi-tea.com/product/gram-tin-begamot-sage-organic-caffeine-free-herbal-blend/caffeine-free-herbal). If you like a hint of savory in your tea, it’s perfect: like the herbs of thanksgiving dinner in a cup.
The Citrus Lavender Sage and Swiss Vervaine Melange from Teavana are both excellent, especially iced.
And the Lemon Rooibos from Adagio is great.
These all sound so good!
Unfortunately I can’t have sage as I’m a nursing mom and it reduces milk supply, but I will for sure check out some of the brands I have not heard of!
Foxtrot by Adagio has always been a favorite (rooibos/chamomile/peppermint), and you can concoct your own version with less expensive bulk herbals.
Some of my favourites include Jessie’s Tea (Coconut, lavender, rooibos) and Midsummer Night’s Dream (Orange and mint) from David’s Tea.
I would recommend Northern Lights from DAVIDsTEA:

It is honestly one of the best things I’ve ever had in a cup.
I wish I had ordered that Northern Lights! I just got a largish order from David’s. Why I actually think I need more tea I’ll never know but I’m trying to cut way back on caffeine. (Try being the key word) ;-)
