GARDEN GNOME

Purpose: Fun! A perfect blend for a mid day pick me up that offers light caffeine and loads of fun for the senses.  

Pick me if: You reach for a cup of energy in the afternoon but want something healthier and more refreshing than most other teas or coffee.  If you like mint and citrus, this one is probably a winner for you.  

Flavor profile: green, bright, citrus, mint, fun 

Organic Ingredients: Green Yerba Mate, Peppermint leaf, Hibiscus calyx, Lemongrass, Orange peel

Understanding the Ingredients: A playful infusion.  Fresh green Yerba Mate brings some energy along with loads of antioxidants you can feel good about while Peppermint leaf, Hibiscus, Lemongrass, and Orange invigorate through the senses.  Gently energizing and completely delightful.  This is one of our oldest blends that has been loved for nearly 15 years.  

Not your ordinary teabag: Our hand-made teabags are large since they are a full portion to provide you with the 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. They are each handcrafted in perfect measurement within a microplastic free teabag and hand stapled with a stainless steel staple. This is slow craft herbalism with care.

{10 pack is 2.5oz and 3 pack is .75oz }

Loose leaf or bagged are both created in very small batches in our woodland teahouse from thoughtfully sourced ingredients and professionally formulated by Leah, owner and clinical herbalist. 

HOW TO BREW:

Bagged:  Use 1 tea bag per 16 oz of 180ºF water. Begin drinking when temperature is comfortable but never remove tea bag. Add more hot water once the cup is finished for a second or third infusion for full benefit.  

Loose Leaf:  Use 1.5 Tb per 16 oz of 180ºF water and steep a minimum of 15 minutes.  Ideally pouring off bits of the tea as the rest continues to steep.  I really enjoy placing loose leaf in a French press, pouring off the tea to drink, and recovering with more water for a full day infusion of full benefit.  

The longer these herbs steep the better and more potent the herbal infusion will be. Add sweetness if you prefer.  

Earth first packaging: Our packaging is intentionally minimal and environmentally conscious.  The kraft bags holding our teas are 100% recycled and backyard compostable.  Our teabags are compostable, as well as the herbs inside, once the staple is removed.  They love to return to the earth.  We are constantly seeking ways we can do better and lessen our impact.
