Attention Everyone!
Attention Everyone, I am about to go gung ho with Lavender! (bet that's a phrase you've never heard before!)
This lavishly, lovely purple plant is just so power-packed - even the smell of its perfumed promise is enough to relax even the wildest of sorts! And that oh-so familiar, yes come closer, but not too close, striking and sensuous aroma that is the trademark of the Lavendula family is a natural miracle that no science will truly ever understand. And with the added benefit of consumption, the aromatherapy effects of this gorgeous strand of violet explosion compound into an actually cellular metamorphosis within!
Mmm, mmm, mmm, yes indeed- this potent plant is a treasure beyond measure and deserves a place in every garden, every home, every cup of tea! So, to honor this love I have for the plant medicine that is Lavender, Yera Dé Herbal Teas will be expanding its product line to include, not only our already popular stress remedy tea, Chrysanthemum Lavender, but a whole slew of fun, unique and what I consider necessary purple additions!
1) Let's start with Early Girl, the perfect brew for the early morning on-the-goer who wants to be up but just a bit slower than the typical buzz of black tea. With it's gorgeous layering of Bergamot and Lavender, this scrumptious citrus/floral duo will surely disappear sip by sip by sip as you greet your morning, only to be re-steeped almost immediately upon finishing!
2) And who can deny the intrigue of Lavender Mint. I mean, what better combo is out there to remedy not only the ailments caused by, but the actual activation of stress! With this delicious herbal double and its Peppermint tingle & Lavender calm, the mind and body will instantly receive the message that it's time to get well soon! Safe for nearly everyone, short of pregnant and nursing mothers, luscious Lavender is shockingly a member of the Mint family; and indeed when combined, these contradictory cousins, work together to simultaneously stimulate and alleviate; each in its own way activating the body's own healing potential!
And just as a lil sneak peak for all you die-hard Yera Dé fans- let it be known that I plan to expand way past tea and eventually add tea foods & liquors & crafts, spa products, herbal honeys and tea baths to my repertoire; so, be sure to be on the lookout for some Lavender Mint infusion tools sometime on the horizon!!
3) And then we have The DayDreamer, in honor of a dear friend, in fact, many- who never cease to see ever more beautiful possibilities! This loose leaf herbal blend will combine the magic of Damiana, a brilliant and subtle sedative with the lure of Lavender and the freshness of Fennel, sprinkled with a hint of Spearmint. This is a tea that frees the mind from the shackles of worry and infuses the heart with a teaspoon of hope! This is for all the amazing humanitarians who are helping me to Heal the World One Tea Bag at a Time.
4) And last, but certainly not least... Sweet Dreamzzz (are made of these!) A tea that still surprises even me, the tea lady! I am so freakin pleased to have been blessed with this ability to collect, combine and intuitively collage the flavor and the function of a myriad of leaf, root, fruit and herb into this harmonious liquid lullaby. Yes, I must confess, at this stage of the game, this 7-herb blend encapsulates the epitome of my interest in herbal medicine and tea.
Including plants from nearly every continent, each imbued with an extensive history of physical and metaphysical uses, Sweet Dreamzzz is designed as a drink-before-bed-blend; yet, it contains none of the moderately dangerous nervines (plant compounds that act therapeutically upon the nerves, particularly in the sense of a sedative) that I see in many blends that populate the tea section of nearly every grocery store.
Nope, one of the things I vowed to do in starting this organic herbal tea company was to use the wisdom of the ages, both the science and the spirit of past and present to present teas made with herbs I, and the majority of expert herbologists & healers out there, agree are generally safe for regular consumption. So, on that note, let me just say that the Blueberry Licorice Lavender goodness that is the core of our soon-to-be released sleepy-time tea is, in this tea blogger's mouth, a veritably worthwhile cup of tea! And as per request from a number of customers, this sleep blend contains no chamomile.
Alas, this concludes my little Lavender exposé! Thanks for tuning in! And be sure to keep a look out for all of these new blends on our website www.YeraDeHerbalTeas.com and for sale at The Good Earth Natural Foods Co., Blue Wind Gourmet and at our tea tables at The Maker's Market @ Anne Marie Gardens (1st Sat. of every month from 9am - noon) and in the Campus Center at St. Mary's College. *Check our LOCAL Updates link for more details!
Until next time, my friends,
Make Every Day a Yera Dé.

Friday's Featured Herb: Lemongrass
"There is no grass like Lemongrass.
It is a truly useful medicinal plant and a delicious food flavoring."
More than it's inviting scent and distinct flavor, Lemongrass (Andropogon citratus, also known as Tanglad in the Philippines) really does possess a lot of useful, albeit under-appreciated, properties and provides an abundance of worthwhile health benefits, without any known negative side effects.
Did you know that Lemongrass Tea helps tone muscle and tissue cells and cleanses your liver, pancreas, kidney, bladder and digestive tract?! It's even been shown to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol by cleansing the body of excess fats, uric acid and other toxins in the body. Lemongrass tea has even been shown to help reduce acne and pimples and improve overall skin health!
Because Lemongrass possesses both antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, it is often used to alleviate indigestion, gastroenteritis and nervous disorders and consumed consistently over time, Lemongrass Tea can greatly improve metabolism, digestion and blood circulation! And most importantly, Lemongrass Tea provides safe, effective & almost immediate stress relief! (and tastes great too!)
And as an added tip for women, in the Philippines, it is suggested to mix Lemongrass with pepper (either as tea or cooked into a meal) as a home therapy for menstrual troubles, nausea and to help stimulate lactation.
Try Some Lemongrass Today!
in Our Delicious & Soothing Afternoon Delight or in our Energizing Maté Límon & Blueberry Ginseng Stimulant Tea, Maté Sky (More New Tea Blends Featuring This Amazing Herb Coming Soon!!!)
Added tidbit about Lemongrass:
Many people actually already know Lemongrass by it's other popular name- citronella - the common scent you usually find in candles, perfumes and soaps. Citronella is known for its calming effect that relieves insomnia or stress. It is also considered as a mild insect repellant.
*And, when it comes to pets, citronella is used to neutralize excessive barking of dogs. For some reason, dogs hate citronella, and many people use Lemongrass spray bottles to help lessen their dog's disruptive behaviors.

(W)holistic Wednesday
"In education and medicine, we struggle to educate and treat the whole person, because it is the whole person walking through a day, a disease, and a life. But what does it mean to take the 'whole' person into account?"
- Nancy L. Brown, PhD
Holism is about raising awareness about the causes of suffering and dis-ease and teaches people to get in touch with themselves more and to learn how to relieve their suffering and prevent future symptoms; and, most importantly, holism is about enhancing the patient's life system to optimize life-long well being.
Holistic healthcare focuses primarily on prevention and treatment of the individual and addresses the unique needs and nature of the "person who has an illness, rather than the illness that has the person." (American Holistic Medical Association)
Holism is about embracing a lifetime of learning about all safe and effective options available for diagnosis and treatments. The realm of choices may include lifestyle coaching, herbal medicine, body and energy work and other complementary approaches and therapies from a variety of traditions, as well as conventional drugs and surgery if needed.
Here at Yera Dé, we fully embrace and support the holistic healthcare movement and, using our own life experiences, teach by example in hopes of helping people to help themselves. We believe in the innate healing power of the body, mind and spirit and aim to create holistic products and educational services that support lifestyle choices which are truly health(ier) on all levels. It is our lifelong goal to promote holistic health and wellness care and disease prevention education and of course, world peace!!!
And we are a relationship-centered company, which means you, our customers, are a huge part of our healing journey and happiness as well! We truly appreciate getting to know you and working with you to help you create your ideal life and perfect cup of tea!!

*National Iced Tea Month Promo*
Yera Dé Herbal Teas is running a Special Promotion til the end of June- Buy 2 Packages of Island Getaway and Receive a FREE Maté Mint & Organic Dragonwell Green Tea 1 oz. Sampler!
June is National Iced Tea Month
and we've been celebrating as often as possible!
How 'bout you?
Start today by making some Chamomile iced cubes or a refreshing cup of cold Green Tea, Rooibos Chai, Ginger Mint, Maté Límon, Vanilla Dusk, Positive Vibes or Maté Sky!
If you have a favorite iced tea, please leave a post and let us know what it is!
Here are a few fun iced tea facts:
Iced tea's popularity led to the introduction of the iced tea spoon. Its long handle allowed sugar to be added to a fashionably tall glass filled with iced tea.
About 80 percent of the tea served in the US today is iced tea.
Early on, American housewives brewed and mixed tea with various fruits, juices and syrups for a Tea Punch.
To celebrate National Iced Tea Month, freeze little slices of lemon in ice cubes or make limeade ice cubes for a refreshing touch in iced tea. Also, seltzer water added to iced tea creates a refreshing, flavored spritzer, or if you are ready to "kick it up a notch", add a splash of citrus vodka to iced tea.
Please note that June is also Turkey Lover's Month, National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month, National Papaya Month, National Dairy Month and National Frozen Yogurt Month.

About 80 percent of the tea served in the US today is iced tea.
Early on, American housewives brewed and mixed tea with various fruits, juices and syrups for a Tea Punch.
To celebrate National Iced Tea Month, freeze little slices of lemon in ice cubes or make limeade ice cubes for a refreshing touch in iced tea. Also, seltzer water added to iced tea creates a refreshing, flavored spritzer, or if you are ready to "kick it up a notch", add a splash of citrus vodka to iced tea.
Please note that June is also Turkey Lover's Month, National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month, National Papaya Month, National Dairy Month and National Frozen Yogurt Month.

Calling All Tea-Enthusiasts & Dad-Lovers!
Stuck on what to do for dear-old dad? Bored of buying neckties and greeting cards?
Well, this year I encourage you to treat one of the most important men in your life — your Dad— to a special celebration! Do something nice for that wonderful man that bounced you on their knee as a baby and taught you to ride bikes and drive cars and who continues to inspire your love and respect... Throw him a special, one-of-a-kind Father’s Day Tea Party today (or anyday!)
*Also a great idea for Grandpas and Husbands and Brothers too! In fact, just invite the whole family for a day of fun in the sun and tasty tea!
Men throughout the world enjoy tea, drinking anything from a delicate pale white tea- such as Bai Hao Yin Zhen (from the Fujian province in China) to a bold, black Assam with its delicious malty palate. Depending on personal preference, your dad might even be a spicy Chai guy or perhaps prefer some iced Peppermint or even a mellow Chamomile.
STEP 1: Pick a theme for your tea party
Remember, it’s all about HIM. Pick a theme that is centered around something he really enjoys doing.
A few fun examples could be:
Golf Lover’s Tea, with grass-green décor and golf-themed food.
Favorite Sports Team Tea, using your dad’s favorite team colors throughout your décor.
Camping Tea, complete with tent and camp cups and plates.
Mechanic’s Tea, with lots of tools among the décor and overalls for outfits.
Variety Tea, with tea-sampling and a Smörgåsbord of yummy treats.
Beach Day Tea, complete with beach chairs, towels and games & pitchers of fruity iced tea.
The possibilities are endless!
STEP 2: Pick a location and decorate it
As they say in the realty game: Location, location, location! Pick one that’s appropriate and decorate it around your theme.
STEP 3: Decide your menu
There are some teas processed and blended for particular occasions, but I don’t know of any specifically for Father’s Day. So, you could serve bold breakfast blacks or go with some special green teas or even explore the wonderful world of herbal blends!
(all available at Yera Dé Herbal Teas wink, wink!)
Whatever teas you select will help you select the foods to serve. Or you can pick the foods first, in keeping with your theme, and then select an appropriate tea to pair. For example, a fun food idea for a Golf Lover’s Tea Party would be little round cookies or donut holes, rolled in powdered sugar to resemble golf balls and placed on grass-green paper plates to add to that golf look and feel.
If you’re grilling, pick a tea to go with hamburgers, grilled chicken or fish, etc. Something strong like Ceylon, Darjeeling, Assam, Nilgiri, and Kenyan would be appropriate. If you want it iced, brew it up hot first, then pour into a pitcher and place in the refrigerator overnight. You can add sweetener and flavorings such as mint to the pitcher or let each guest add their own.
STEP 4: Enjoy!
Wishing you all a Happy Father’s Day!
