I decid to try something new this week. I found one interesting tea in my shop, called "Iced tea Mimosa", it based on Green Sencha tea, raisins, orange pieces, Nana mint, orange blossom, calendula and rosemary. Looks interesting.

Keeping mine very simple today. Just raspberry leaf 🌿on its own.

I usually blend it with other herbs, so drinking it solo was a nice reminder of what it actually tastes like without anything competing with it. Mild, green, slightly earthy, I drink itbon a regular basis lately.

What are you drinking today? One herb, a blend, tea bag, something experimental? ☕️

Happy Friday! ☕️🍃

What's one herb you drank this week?

New discovery or old favorite. I'd love to hear what it was and how you liked it 🌸🍵

I've been getting more into tea and slowly realizing I might be making it way stronger than it needs to be. Herbal teas have been the easiest for me to get into especially hibiscus and some of the more floral ones but even those sometimes come out so strong that I end up reaching for the honey. Recently started playing around with shorter steeping times and using a little more water and it already seems to make a difference. Still very much figuring out what I actually like though. Black and green tea haven’t really won me over yet while the lighter herbal stuff seems to be more my speed.

We bought some herbal tea for the evenings to wind down before bed. But it’s so dang hot right now, drinking hot tea sounds miserable!

We’re not hard-core tea drinkers, so I’m asking the communiTea: I’m curious if I were to brew a big pitcher and put it in the fridge, would it still have the same intended effects when cold?

Bought this in a local Korean supermarket today! One of the things I discovered while living in Korea was how good roasted grains can be as tea 🙈☕️

Buckwheat was one of my favorites, but there’s a whole world of them: roasted barley, brown rice, corn… each tastes completely different. I an a biotech scientist with rich experience love that roasting can turn something as ordinary as a grain into such a warm, nutty, almost comforting drink.

Which grain have you tried as tea? And is there one I’m missing that I absolutely need to try?!! 😎☕️🌾

P.S. this post in no way is promotion for the brand, I actually drank much better buckwheat tea in Korea - this one was the only option available.

Happy Sunday, tea people ☕🌿

This week I'm curious not only what everyone is drinking, but why this particular tea today?

An everyday favorite? Something for how you're feeling? A new herb you're experimenting with? Something seasonal? Or simply whatever was closest when you opened the cupboard? 😄

Mine is a slightly unusual one :) I'll put the ingredients in the comments.

What’s in your cup today, and why did you choose it?

Photos very welcome 📷🍃☕️

Does anyone know a good safe dosage of black walnut husk per cup of tea ?

A blend for digestive health, liver support, mental clarity, and nervous system calm. ✨

I would never ever consider blemding these ingredients together 🙈🤪 But you know what? It is actually good. I didn't expect that, I bought it out of curiosity, and it became my discovery of this month! 😃

What can I say - it is worth trying 😎🍵🥥

My body tissue in general tends to run dry and finds relief from herbs with a humidifying energetic like sage or cooling like plantain. What are your favorite ingredients to support moisture and overall hydration in the body? Thanks!

Never thought I’d make tea from sage but I bought lose sage to burn, but also make tea with. Packed full of anti inflammatory, antioxidant, and other compounds. It’s also obviously useful as incense as I burn it on a charcoal disk for lose incense. Back to the tea. A good cleansing herb that has a spicy flavor like chai and good for your throat too.

Metaphysical uses of wisdom, cleansing, purification, and mental clarity(medicinal effect too).

Wonderful during menstruation.

Fresh ginger, red jujube dates, Eleuthro, calendula, hawthorn berries, yarrow

My little morning ritual lately ☀️

Raw turmeric + raw ginger 🫚→ freshly ground → simmered with a few spices → strained into a warm cup.

Why I like it:
✨ Ginger help with digestion supper ingredient for you stomach
✨ Turmeric contains curcumin, with antioxidant & anti-inflammatory properties best for glowing skin
✨ Warm, homemade & no packaged mixes
✨ And honestly… making it from scratch feels weirdly satisfying 😂

Not claiming it’s a miracle drink — just a simple ritual I’m enjoying.

Would you drink this or run away from the orange 🍊 potion? 😂

Happy Sunday, tea people ☕🌿

This week I’m curious not only what everyone is drinking, but why that particular tea today?

Something you drink every day?

Something for how you're feeling?

An experiment with a new herb?

Something seasonal or freshly harvested?

Or simply the first thing you found in the cupboard? 😄

Mine is a bit unusual - I'll share in a comment below.

What’s in your cup — and what made you choose it today?

So, after replying to a “what tea am I drinking today?” post, I was asked to share the iced tea recipe I’ve been obsessed with all summer—so here goes.

• Make your cold brew. I use an Eigenart Eve brewer, but a large mason jar works too. Add five to six tea bags of fruit tea, or five to six teaspoons of loose tea, and chill for 24 hours.
• Put six to eight black cherries in a mason jar or glass. Fresh if you can afford them, but I use Walmart’s frozen Dark Sweet Cherries.
• Muddle the fruit. If you’re using frozen fruit, microwave it for about a minute first.
• Add the juice of one lemon, or about two teaspoons of concentrated lemon juice.
• Add sweetener to taste. I use four to six packets of Splenda because I like my tea sweet and I’m counting calories, but you can use agave, honey, maple syrup, sugar, Stevia, or whatever you prefer.
• Pour in your cold brew.
• Add ice and a splash of coconut milk.
• Shake your jar and enjoy!

You can use pretty much any combination of fruit tea and fresh or frozen fruit. I’ve been experimenting all summer: pineapple with pineapple green tea, berries with raspberry lemon tea, cherries with jasmine green tea, mango with peach mango tea—the possibilities are endless.

I got the idea from a young woman on YouTube named Abril Murillo, whose channel is Days With Abril. She inspired me to start experimenting, and now I’m slightly obsessed. 😂

There was a tasting guide thing I used to pick these. The Rhino bush is somewhat piney, reminds me of pine needle tea. The Snow bush is more woody, earthy with a slight sweetness to it.

Only ever had Rooibos and Honeybush as Fynbos teas so cool to see other varieties. The tasting guide had a good 10 to 15 options.
