GOOD GREEN MORNING
Let’s start our day the right way! A good green morning.
I wanted a morning brew that was not only going to help awaken me for the day, but also offer my body as much nourishment and health benefit as possible. With that desire, along came Good Green Morning. A Matcha and Yerba mate energy elixir with the nourishment of Stinging Nettle and nootropic focus support of Gotu Kola.
This isnt your typical “coffee alternative” just trying to replicate the flavor of coffee but with less acid and caffeine. It’s also not just a cup of green tea that leaves you wanting something a little bolder in the morning. This blend is in a class all its own. Bold, verdant, smooth and able to hold honey, sugar or milk of choice quite well.

GREEN YERBA MATEº
STINGING NETTLE LEAFº

Please know: Our hand-made tea bags are quite large in order to contain enough herb to offer you the full intended benefit and desired support. Each one may be re-steeped several times throughout the day. The brewed tea may also be saved in the fridge over night and enjoyed chilled the following day!
HOW TO BREW:
Bagged: Use 1 tea bag per 16 oz of 190 ºF water. Begin drinking when temperature is comfortable but never remove tea bag.
Loose Leaf: Use 1-1.5 Tb per 16 oz 190 ºF water and steep a minimum of 10 minutes.
The longer these herbs steep the better and more potent the herbal infusion will be.
Add sweetness if you prefer. May be re-steeped several times.
Enjoy!
Teaching Herbalism through TeaCraft:
In the warmer months, I crave something rich and bold in the morning but not necessarily something roasty. I want something bold and verdant. So, it was time to create it! I blended green Yerba Mate in first because I love its antioxidant rich, energy gifting properties that also blends well with other herbs. I then added our Matcha of the Dawn because nothing wakes me up in the sweetest way than a good dash of Matcha. Because of its shade grown nature, it’s rich in L theanine, catechins such as EGCG, caffeine and more. I then wanted this to be an easily absorbed morning multivitamin so I added the one and only Stinging Nettle leaf. It’s my favorite easily absorbed multivitamin that our bodies recognize as the amazing food that it is. Naturally, I also wanted focus power to begin the day or even as a boost mid day so I brought in Gotu Kola, the nootropic circulatory powerhouse. So, as you see, this is no typical cup of coffee or tea- this is GOOD GREEN MORNING.
