The BEE'S KNEES {iced tea}
Premium green tea with floral and citrus hints reminding you of the beautiful gardens that grew this brew… and our bee friends that helped it along! When sugar is added, a burst of sweet honey flavor comes forward perfectly complimenting the tea and herbs.
Health notes: This blend is loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, nervous system nourishment, anti inflammatory properties, anti aging benefits, heart love, and a touch of gentle energy.
Our little fountain of youth.
The rose petals gently offer heart nourishing properties and anti inflammatory benefits while the green tea strengthens those anti inflammatory benefits, offers rich antioxidants and a touch of happy energy. The lavender and lemon verbena soothe the nerves to create the perfect gentle pick me up when paired with the green tea. Dried oranges nourish the digestive system and are supported by the lemon verbena in this action as well. I drink this brew and splash a little spritz on my face for extra beautifying properties.
