Bella Coola Fruit & Herb Blend

A blend of rose hips, hibiscus petals, orange peel, apple, and pineapple. Infusion is a beautiful cranberry red in color and absolutely stunning over ice. Rich in Vitamin C and naturally caffeine free. A bit on the tart side, many enjoy this with a touch of honey or other sweetener. Freeze in ice cube trays or ice pop molds for summertime enjoyment.

Chamomile - Egypt (Organic)
A wonderful chamomile from the Nile River Delta area. Very aromatic with desirable apple-like flavor notes. A calming infusion for many. Try blending with peppermint or adding a touch of lemon and honey. (Persons with allergies to plants of the asteraceae family - ragweed, asters and chrysanthemums - should avoid use of chamomile.)

Hibiscus (Organic)
Beautiful deep red infusion somewhat similar in flavor to pomegranate, but more tart.  Hibiscus is rich in Vitamin C.  Use about 1 heaping teaspoon of petals per cup.  Add boiling water and steep 3 - 7 minutes.  Add sugar or honey to taste, if desired.  Makes a beautiful iced beverage.  Add sliced citrus for additional flavor interest.

Lavender - Tibet (Organic)
Our delightful field grown lavender comes from Eastern Tibet.  Archaeology indicates Tibetans have used lavender for its restorative and spiritually uplifting qualities for at least a thousand years.  Lavender is used in meditative ceremonies at many temples and shrines in Tibet and is one of the Dalai Lama's favorite herbs.   To prepare as a hot tea, use 1 teaspoon per cup, add boiling water and steep 3 to 7 minutes.  For iced tea, prepare a double to triple strength infusion and pour over ice.   Use in shortbread or scones, or add to many other teas and herbal blends for an intriguing flavor twist.  (1 ounce of lavender buds = about 1 cup)

Lemon Meringue Herbal
