Why Drink Tea?

Hey all!

I'm almost finished putting together my first three official teas for sale. I'm hoping you'll try each one, and of course, I highly suggest that you do cuz a) they're all pretty tasty and b) they all specifically remedy three aspects of body imbalance that almost all people struggle with: mood, energy and blood sugar. Plus they're so jam packed with nutrient dense, cleansing, revitalizing, restorative, immune boosting herbs, flowers, roots and fruits that once you start drinking them you're gonna feel so much better that you'll never again wanna go a day without tea! Once you've tried them, please honestly tell me what you think! But I hope that whatever your first reaction, you'll stick around to fully reap the benefits of all the purposeful, meticulous combining of herbs I chose to bring these teas to life.

Indeed, I think the world would run a lot smoother if we all got on a tea routine! Not necessarily the same routine or even the same herbs; but if each of us introduced maybe 4-5 relatively safe, gentle balancing teas into our repertoire and continued to consume them moderately yet regularly over the weeks and months, I bet in time we'd all start noticing how much truly better we feel.

We'd be less stressed and less run down. We'd be more energized naturally, but still somehow calmer and more at peace. It'd probably be a weird sensation at first, so foreign as we realized how off kilter we really once were.

Imagine feeling good, great even, inside and out, mind, body, heart and soul... so good that you'd stop needing to keep reuptaking the more hazard, albeit popular, aspects of existence. And no longer weighed down by a toxic dump of mood swings, junk food, chemicals and the like, we'd all start looking better, actually look like the healthy, happy, fit people we all wish we were. Heck, we'd even smell better; our bodies no longer struggling to constantly clear out toxins.

And no toxins means no toxic thoughts. The vicious cycle of glass half empty would at long last come to an end! We'd all have our glasses full to the brim!! And we'd be free... All thanks to tea! Who knew Fire, Water, Plants and People would turn out to be such a phenomenal elemental combination?!

Still, herbal medicine as a health regimen does takes time. There's no quick fix, no McMeditation that's gonna dissolve all your suffering. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither were all the bodily and emotional imbalances stirring inside us. But kinda like hittin the gym or goin on a diet or studying for a class- the investment of time and commitment to an ideal routine makes all the difference!! At first, it's tough to notice; even sometimes seems worse, as the body starts to detox. This intense release triggers headaches, nausea, fevers, fatigue and hellish moodswings as your system desperately tries to rid the body of chemical sludge. But it's worth it. There's nothing better than being clean and clear! Nothing more precious than health!

As a new tea business owner, I of course want everyone to jump on the herbal remedy bandwagon, both for their benefit and mine, but as an aspiring herbalist and former toxic junkie, I know that timing, moderation, persistence and adaptability are the true keys to changing any aspect of self. So, the herbs I wanna start you all off with are some that many of you have probably had many times before in various blends or as looseleaf. I aim for these introductory herbal teas to be potent but gentle; effective, but not risky enough to make anyone feel buzzy or cause them to suffer any ill side effects.

Of course, everyone's system is different. And there are no set rules for herbal medicine, only guidelines, so make sure you do your own research too and TRUST YOUR SENSES! Remember a small amount will go a long way! Especially with known stimulants and sedatives. All herbs, just like any drug (and perhaps any food or drink product) must be used with discretion. You are what you put in your mouth, so choose wisely my friends!! Health is Wealth and Knowledge is Power!

And as much as I'm eager to start selling you my teas and would be thrilled to be your go to tea lady, because the FDA does not fully regulate the manufacturing and sale of herbal products, it is very important that you, the consumer, thoroughly research the quality and manufacturing practices of any products you plan to take, be they mine or from elsewhere. I can guarantee you that I have chosen to source only certified organic herbs and am taking all necessary precautions in research, development manufacturing and storage to ensure you get the highest quality, safe proportioned dosages of specific herbal medicinal blends and in an eco-chic, informative fashion without having to sacrifice the almighty taste factor!!

FYI, we're gonna also have looseleaf individual herbs, such as Rooibos (non-caffeinated South African bush leaf) that will help with some of the agitation & fatigue and also some Chamomile for calming and restoring the bodymind. And eventually, we'll get ya into some of the more potent "top shelf" nervines known for relaxing/sedating the body and mind so you can better destress and get some rest. Indeed, get a good night's sleep plus maybe some organic green tea or yerba maté in the morning and you'll be pleasantly productive by day and blissfully dozing at night! That sure sounds like a good life to me! At least that is what I wish for and hope my teas can help you achieve too!

Love & Peace.
Be Well.


Until next time,
Jaime
