Tea lovers know there’s a perfect blend for every mood. A bright morning? Reach for something citrusy and bold. A quiet evening? Maybe something floral or earthy. But beyond taste and tradition, tea can be used as a tool for mindfulness. Whether you’re starting your day with intention or deepening your meditation practices, there’s a blend waiting to support you – one peaceful pour at a time.
Herbal teas are a great starting point for cultivating mindfulness. They not only offer comfort but a deep, grounding connection to the earth. With every sip, we’re reminded that the roots of these blends come directly from the ground, the garden, and the wild. Our Mind Your Body collection was carefully curated with wellness in mind. This powerful collection of teas and herbs offers a chance to pause and reconnect with the rhythms of nature.
Each herbal infusion is a reflection of the seasons, providing a snapshot of the land it grew from. As you sip, imagine the elements – the soil, the sun, and the rain that nurtured these herbs. Consider the cycle they’ve gone through from seedling to harvest to the moment they reach your cup. This simple process can become a ritual of presence and an invitation to slow down and appreciate the little things in life.
Soba Roasted Buckwheat, Yerba Mate Licorice, and Bamboo Tea are among the Harney family’s favorites from this collection. Soba Roasted Buckwheat is a traditional Japanese specialty that my mom Brigitte fell in love with on our visits to the former Takashimaya on Fifth Avenue in New York. Soba is naturally caffeine-free, with a delightful toasty flavor and nutty undertones. If you’re feeling experimental, this tea can also be eaten and cooked with. My dad, Mike, on the other hand, created Yerba Mate Licorice by blending two highly caffeinated herbals, Yerba Mate and Guayusa. With a touch of licorice for taste, this blend was designed to keep you going stronger (and a bit longer). The entire family fell in love with the taste of fresh bamboo during our travels to Chinese tea farms. We are pleased to offer dried bamboo leaves to prepare as a tisane. When steeped and strained like a tea, the pretty green leaves transform into a light, vegetal, and sweet brew. Our friends in China believe drinking this blend can help improve your well-being, making it a perfect fit for this lineup.
The three blends that truly set the tone for this collection can be found in our Wellness Trio. Each unique flavor profile is paired with a specific wellness goal. From relaxation to nourishment and sleep, it’s the trio of our dreams.
- Organic Golden Milk – Glimmer Wellness Blend – Lie back and experience chill like none other with our botanical Golden Milk. This blend is made with a mixture of adaptogens and spices designed to bring out your inner glimmer.
- Organic Chaga Chai – Nourish Wellness Blend – Made from wild, earthy-flavored Canadian Chaga mushrooms and potent spices, this botanical will nourish your soul and leave you with a healthy glow. We suggest trying it as a latte with your favorite milk and a bit of honey.
- Hemp Moringa – Deep Sleep Wellness Blend – Unwind and enjoy deep sleep with this one-of-a-kind blend. Inspired by traditional Ayurvedic beverages, this tea combines the intense aromas and flavors of hemp, moringa, holy basil, bold turmeric, goji berries, and coconut.
If sleep and relaxation are a priority, Organic Lemon Balm Chamomile is great option to keep near the nightstand. The sleep-enhancing blend of lavender is paired with the calming properties of chamomile, a gentle zing of lemon balm, and finished off with flavors of organic nutmeg and spearmint.
After waking up rested and ready to begin the day with intention, reach for a cup of green or jasmine tea to invite clarity and calm. Green tea is often associated with focus and gentle energy, making it ideal for mindfulness practices like meditation, journaling, or slow morning rituals. Jasmine is usually a green or white tea that has been scented with jasmine blossoms. The aroma alone has been shown to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety. If you don’t have time in the morning or throughout your day to brew hot tea, our Organic Soba Green Iced Tea is the perfect alternative. The bottled brew combines floral jasmine green tea with toasty soba buckwheat to create a unique flavor profile that will ease your mind and keep you cool in the warmer months.
Mindfulness doesn’t have to be complicated. It can begin with something as simple as boiling water, selecting a blend, and taking a quiet moment for yourself. Whether you’re brewing to wake up with intention, to wind down into rest, or to reconnect with nature through herbal infusions, tea offers a ritual that’s always within reach.
