relaxing
This aromatic blend has a beautiful floral flavour with a sweet hint of rose that’s complemented with lavender and tilia. The exceptionally small chamomile flowers we source for this infusion contain a higher concentration of essential oils than larger flowers, which give the blend a particularly fruity, mellow flavour. The moringa leaves have a similar profile to green tea, so they round out the sweetness of the florals with grounding notes of fresh green bean. The lemon verbena adds a hint of citrus that melds with the dreamy aromas of sweet meadow flowers making this an ideal infusion delightful to help calm and let the stress of the day float away.
WELLNESS BLEND
the benefits
Moringa leaves appear to have taken on recent “superfood” status, with many health benefits attributed to them. They are rich in antioxidants and are said to have anti-inflammatory properties. Some sources link moringa leaves with modest cholesterol and blood-sugar lowering, but the main reason we added them to this blend was the benefit of helping to promote a good night’s sleep.
Chamomile is so well-loved for its calming properties and makes the perfect base for the other ingredients. Tilia has long been valued for its soothing effects and has been used to help insomnia and relieve stress. It’s said to soothe indigestion and cramps. Lemon verbena is also believed to help ease period pain and offer a sense of calm for those feeling anxious. Lavender too is known to help relaxation – who can resist that heady aroma? As this tea is naturally caffeine-free and unites these ingredients treasured for their calming properties, it’s blended specially to help you unwind before bed and best enjoyed an hour before you call it a night.
