Botanicals

There are so many botanicals that are used in these teas – some familiar and others not so familiar – that we have decided to go a little bit deeper to find out why they are included in these wonderful teas. So every month, in our new newsletter, we will be featuring a botanical for your knowledge so that you might appreciate better the infusion you already enjoy.
