Herbal Loose Leaf Tea

Want to try a herbal tea? We like the fiery Zing Zing Lemon & Ginger to wake us up, or for that extra pep in the afternoon Orchard Dawn. Friends with more subtle palates love the refreshing Herb and Rooibos blends, and recommend Robert Adams Festoon for a mellow but tasteful choice.

Herbal teas are infusions of herbs, spices and plants. They don’t come from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant. They are caffeine free and able to be served hot or cold, herbal infusions can be enjoyed by all.

The vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants found in many herbs have shown to provide many short and long-term health benefits. Herbal teas are wonderful alternatives to sugary or caffeinated drinks, while still providing great taste and a natural boost to your day. 

Herbal teas are great for treating a cold. Many herbal teas help with the breakdown of fats and speed up the emptying of the stomach. The antioxidants and vitamins found in herbal teas are great for helping fight disease and infections, and relieve arthritis and joint pain. Herbal teas aid the slow-down in the ageing process. They calm the mind, relax the muscles, and lower your blood pressure, so a cup of herbal tea is ideal before bed, and they can act as mild anti-depressants. Rooibos, Spearmint and Chamomile can even be a treatment for acne.
