Herbal Teas: Rose Geranium / Lemon Verbena

The refreshing lift of natural, calming rose geranium tea (leaves) is felt immediately. Pleasantly combined with de-stressing Lemon Verbena (leaves), its a super herbal tea either hot from the pot or iced. Best sweetened with ethically obtained honey or brown sugar. A pinch of dried herbs is enough for a pot. Its a very pale tea not like conventional tea blends.

We use only glass teapots for our herbal teas for great flavour and sterile brewing.

Grow your own herbs and make sure you buy them correctly labeled from a knowledgable plant nursery, specialising in herbs. Just a couple of plants of each will soon grow to give you an endless supply of fresh herbal tea straight from your own garden.

Both of these herbs also dry successfully and a good way to dry them is by placing them in a hanging paper packet.

They are low in tannins and caffeine.

Using herbs

• If any side effects are experienced, immediately stop using the herb and if necessary consult your doctor.
• Only use the herb if you are 100% sure that it the correct herb.
  
• If you are ill or have any health concerns, consult your doctor.
  
• Don't always drink the same infusion. Max use - 10 days and then skip a week.
  
• One cup of a particular herbal infusion per day, is enough.
