Our family favorite tea blend for many reasons! We named this blend "Simmer Down" due to it's cooling, relaxing properties. Handcrafted with a blend of homegrown Organic Lemon Balm, Organic Mint & Organic Rose Petals as well as high quality Organic Hibiscus (*not homegrown). All of these herbs are known to calm the nerves and cool down the body, which, served cold, is very useful for keeping the body & mind from overheating on hot Summer days. This tea is also delicious and soothing served hot in the Winter - energizing and uplifting the body and mind, while helping fight and prevent seasonal illnesses.
Safe for kids as well, I call this tea my "Magic Garden Tea" because many times, this tea has stopped a stomach bug instantly. It tastes great, especially when sweetened with honey or agave and is very appealing to kids. I also serve this to myself and family when I feel any kind of sickness coming on.
Each purchase of Simmer Down Tea comes with a reusable 100% Unbleached Cotton tea Bag for infusing (Instructions below).
