We can’t get enough of this zesty Lemon Lime blend! It’s been our go-to sip in the test kitchen, and let’s be honest, we’re loving every citrusy drop (because, well, it kind of is our job). If you’re a Lemon Lime lover, this tea delivers all the refreshing tang you crave, minus the sugar crash. It’s the ultimate combo of fun and function, keeping you refreshed and on track with your wellness goals.

What really makes these teas a game-changer? It’s all thanks to gymnema sylvestre—our secret weapon, affectionately known as “The Sugar Destroyer.” This powerful herb has been used in traditional medicine for centuries to curb sugar cravings and regulate blood sugar levels. Gymnema works by blocking the taste of sweetness on your tongue, which helps to naturally reduce your desire for sugary treats. So while you’re sipping on that sweet, fizzy goodness, gymnema’s got your back, making sure you enjoy every moment without the sugar spike.

Sencha Green Tea

Rich in catechins, particularly EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), Sencha tea offers powerful antioxidant properties that help protect the body against oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. It is known to boost metabolism and support weight management, making it a great addition to a healthy lifestyle. Sencha tea also promotes heart health by improving blood circulation and lowering cholesterol levels. The natural L-theanine in Sencha helps to promote relaxation and reduce stress while enhancing mental clarity and focus.

Orange Peel

Orange peel, often discarded, is a treasure trove of health benefits. Rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants, orange peel helps boost the immune system and protect the body from oxidative stress. It also contains flavonoids like hesperidin, which have anti-inflammatory and heart-protective properties. The high fiber content in orange peel supports digestive health by promoting regularity and aiding in detoxification. 

Gymnema Silvestre

Gymnema Sylvestre, often referred to as “The Sugar Destroyer,” is a powerful herb traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine. It is well-known for its ability to reduce sugar absorption in the intestines, making it a valuable ally in managing blood sugar levels. Gymnema can also help curb sweet cravings by blocking the sugar receptors on your tongue, making sugary foods taste less appealing. Additionally, this herb supports weight management, promotes healthy metabolism, and has been shown to help improve insulin function, making it an excellent choice for those looking to balance their blood sugar and maintain a healthy diet.

How to Steep Loose Leaf Tea

What is Tea Ceremony?

FAQ

Yes, all of our teas undergo rigorous third-party testing to ensure they meet the highest standards for quality, purity, and safety. We proudly hold certifications for each blend, so you can sip confidently, knowing that our teas are crafted with care and integrity.

Our teas are cultivated, harvested, and blended from soil to cup with the Magic Hour Rule of Love. The base of our teas is grown in the tea estate where I was married :)! The exquisite buds are grown and harvested by our friends in a garden that touches the sky at the top of the mountains in the high-country of Sri Lanka. The pristine Idulgashinna Bio Tea Garden’s perched above a wildlife preserve. It was the first tea garden to become certified Biodynamic and organic in the world, it’s home to our family of farmers and growers whose respect towards nature and one another has become the gold standard of tea estates all over the world. We also source from small organic family gardens in Taiwan, Rwanda, India, Yunnan, Kyoto and Kagoshima, Japan.

Our formulator, Zhena, is an aromatherapist and was one of the founders of the Organic and Fair Trade movement over 25 years ago. She was crucial in getting rules for organics passed and has had a long-time passion for organics, Biodynamics and pure products. Her blending style is bold and she uses Organic-Compliant extracts of fruits, essential oils, and spices that fall under the “Natural Flavors” broad stroke ingredient description by the FDA. We only use extracts and flavors extracted with non-toxic methods and are 100% natural coming from the fruit or spice or flower that is distilled without chemicals.

Other companies may use “Natural Flavors” that are in a Propylene Glycol base—Zhena fought the label standards on this chemical 15 years ago and is dedicated to NEVER using flavorings with this or any other chemicals. Our flavors are entirely extracted naturally using alcohol or steam distillation. In the blending process, if the extract has alcohol, the alcohol dissipates. If you’ve ever used Vanilla Extract for cooking—you’ve used what Zhena uses in larger volumes.

When we writes, “Natural Flavors” it’s not because we wants to but that’s what the FDA requires. It’s not a great description and we assure you our standards are of the highest using only natural extracts and essential oils.

Please feel free to enjoy most of our teas without worry regarding being vegan compliant.
As of May of 2021, the only tea we have that is not vegan is Quintessence, which contains honey crystals.

You could steep our teas many times. A new flavor nuance will arise each time. If you’re planning to steep more than twice, you might want to add an additional teaspoon or two according to taste and the strength desired.

It's a common misconception that tea ceremony has to take up a lot of time from your schedule. I want to encourage you to take time for yourself, daily, in a simple tea ceremony. Simply naming 3 gratitudes as your water boils will uplift and shift your day!

However, the process only has to take as little as 10 minutes! For example, for most of our teas we suggest steeping 1 heaping teaspoon in water that is between 160--212 degrees (depending on the tea type--check the label!). As you steep your tea for the recommended minutes, take 3 heart-breaths, expanding the emerald green energy of your heart chakra. As you expand that blessed energy, you will activate your true intelligence which is found in the heart.

Then as you steep your loose-leaf magical tea, center into your senses. As yourself the Magic Hour sensory questions:

  • What do I hear?
  • What do I see?
  • What do I feel?
  • What do I smell?
  • What do I taste?

Then sip your tea with newfound presence.

Presence is where heaven is found. We want you to find your heaven on a daily basis!
