Full Moon Loose Tea - makes over 20 cups!
Enjoy this magical blend of heirloom Peony, Rose, Holy Basil (tulsi) and Cardamom.
In Ayurveda medicine, Peony is considered tri-doshic (able to balance all three doshas- Vata, Pitta & Kapha). This makes it a great tonic plant for all of us. It’s medicine is powerful! Peony is an antispasmodic, blood tonic, liver tonic, Antipyretic (reduces fever), relives tension, helps menstrual cramps and relieves inflamed skin. It always reminds me of the full moon with its qualities and the moonlit color.
I harvest the flowers in the spring from my heirloom white and pink Peonies, along with a few other Ayurvedic adaptations such as Rose, Tulsi and a touch of cardamom pods. It’s one of the most heavenly tasting teas when you add a bit of nut milk and manuka honey to it.
Make your own ritual on a full moon with this tea blend by steeping it in boiling hot water in a safe glass container and set out under the full moon for one night to charge its healing properties. You can then keep this infusion in your refrigerator for about a week, reheat it as a warm tea or add ice as a cool drink. When you receive the bad, some of the herbs will settle on the bottom, so make sure to shake the bag upside down to mix the blend well before adding to your teapot. Or alternatively, you can dump out the tea into a container and mix with hands or spoon.
You’ll receive 1.5 oz of this tea blend which will make approximately 15-20 or more cups of tea, depending on how strong you like your tea.
What are Doshas? In Ayurveda they are our “body types”. Your body type summarizes the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness. Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency.
