The allure of herbal tea is undeniable. It's not just a beverage; it's a cozy hug in a cup, a moment of respite in a hectic day. For centuries, people across cultures have turned to herbal teas for their delightful flavors and health benefits.
But what makes these brews so special? Let's dive in.
Which Herbal Teas Are Better for Your Health?
Herbal teas have been cherished for centuries, not just for their delightful flavors but also for their myriad health benefits.
These infusions, made from herbs, flowers, fruits, and spices, have been used in traditional medicine across cultures to address a range of health concerns.
For instance, chamomile is often recommended for its calming properties and its ability to aid sleep. Peppermint tea is lauded for its digestive benefits, while hibiscus is known to help with blood pressure regulation. Ginger tea is a go-to remedy for nausea and is also believed to have anti-inflammatory properties. Echinacea tea is often reached for at the first sign of a cold, given its immune-boosting reputation.
Magic Hour's collection of herbal teas is designed to nourish body, mind, and spirit while tasting naturally delicious at the same time.

What Do Herbal Teas Taste Like?
Herbal teas offer a symphony of flavors. From the tangy kick of hibiscus in Ruby Moon Hibiscus Elderberry Tea to the soothing notes of tulsi in Lucid Dreams, there's a taste for every palate. The Aquamarine Dream brings a soothing Ayurvedic touch with adrenal tonics, while Moringa Moon Herbal Tea offers the earthy goodness of moringa leaves.
Are Herbal Teas Actually Tea?
Here's a fun fact -- most herbal teas aren't technically "teas"! True teas come from the Camellia sinensis plant, like green or black tea. Herbal teas, on the other hand, are infusions made from herbs, flowers, fruits, and spices.
So, while they're called "tea," they're more accurately described as "tisanes" or herbal infusions.
What Are Some Common Herbal Tea Ingredients?
Herbal teas encompass a wide range of ingredients, each bringing its own unique flavor and health benefits. Some of the standout ingredients from the collection include:
- Mint: Found in Mantra Mint Herbal Tea, it's refreshing and great for digestion.
- Chamomile: A calming flower often used to aid sleep.
- Hibiscus: The tangy component of Ruby Moon Hibiscus Elderberry Tea.
