Maybe it\u2019s this long, cold\nwinter getting to us, but we\u2019ve been super into mixing our own wellness teas\nlately. There\u2019s something about boosting your go-to teas with an extra hit of\nnatural goodness that\u2019s like taking a straight shot of sunshine. Boosting a\nstress relief tea with an extra scoop of calming chamomile can\u2019t help but make\nus feel more chill, while throwing an extra shot of focus-friendly cinnamon\ninto an energizing black tea makes for the ultimate study buddy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do you mix your own wellness tea blends? It couldn\u2019t 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\u2019s got what you need here, then get creative with your personal tea apothecary. We love using herbs and spices like our Organic Turmeric<\/a><\/u> and Texas-grown Yaupon, but you can also experiment with your favourite smoothie ingredients (think maca, lucuma and more).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Perfect Spoon of tea + 1 Perfect Spoon of your booster ingredient = ♥<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
