Tea is great for relaxation but the flavor and the routine can get a bit bland. Home tea blends let you keep your tea time interesting. You can create an assortment of tea blends that best fit your tastes. In addition, you can create them in bulk so you can enjoy well into the future (with the help of an airtight container).
Spoonful of Sugar
Tea is good for the mind, body, and soul. Add some intention to home tea blend, by selecting ingredients for the health benefits they provide. Herbal tea is naturally filled with antioxidants that help your heart. Boost your antioxidant intake by adding a personal blend to a standard white tea. For digestive help, pack your blend with a hearty dose of ginger. Either way, put down the coffee and add an afternoon tea ritual to your life instead.
Loving Loose Leaf
Tea bags are convenient but they aren’t as potent as loose leaf tea. Home tea blends let you get more flavor out of every cup. Loose tea leaves can steep longer and give a more complex flavor profile. Additionally, the second time leaves are steeped, they can actually taste better than the first. The saying goes, “the first pour of tea is for your enemy and the second is for your friend”.
Vintage Charm
Add a vintage coffee shop vibe into your kitchen with tins or jars of tea. Home tea blends are the perfect excuse to decorate your kitchen with mason jars filled with tea time goodies. You can introduce a comforting vibe into your home that sets up a perfect environment for relaxing with a cup of tea. Add some vintage character and comfort into your kitchen.

Goodbye Tea Bags
Store bought tea bags come in multiple flavors such as bitter to slightly less bitter hot water. Joking aside, home tea blends let you enjoy tea the way you want. You can create a recipe the perfectly matches your palette. For example, you can add dried flowers to gain a refreshing floral tea. On the other hand, if you’re going for a soothing, hearty tea; add pieces of cinnamon sticks and coriander. They both bolster your blends level of antioxidants and lower blood sugar. Simply add your loose leaf tea to a disposable tea bag, steep, and enjoy!
