Maybe it’s this long, cold winter getting to us, but we’ve been super into mixing our own wellness teas lately. There’s something about boosting your go-to teas with an extra hit of natural goodness that’s like taking a straight shot of sunshine. Boosting a stress relief tea with an extra scoop of calming chamomile can’t help but make us feel more chill, while throwing an extra shot of focus-friendly cinnamon into an energizing black tea makes for the ultimate study buddy.
So how do you mix your own wellness tea blends? It couldn’t be easier. Just combine 1 Perfect Spoon of your fave benefit-packed tea with 1 Perfect Spoon of any feel-good ingredient and steep the tea as you normally would. Find a tea that’s got what you need here, then get creative with your personal tea apothecary. We love using herbs and spices like our Organic Turmeric and Texas-grown Yaupon, but you can also experiment with your favourite smoothie ingredients (think maca, lucuma and more).
1 Perfect Spoon of tea + 1 Perfect Spoon of your booster ingredient = ♥

Ginger Turmeric Tonic + Yaupon = FOOD COMA CURE
