Tea of the Week: Tranquility Blend


One of the things we love about tea is its calmness. The process of preparing and drinking should be taken time over, allowing it as a way to quiet and the mind and focus on the present. It is important to embrace these pockets of calm whenever we can, shielding away the distractions that the busy world outside relentlessly fires at us.

Whether Bristol has an extremely high number of people embracing Zen philosophies, journeying along the path to inner calm - or just some very stressed ones, the popularity of our ‘Tranquillity’ green tea blend clearly offers a rather appealing promise!

Using a combination of herbs; spearmint, lemon balm and lemongrass, known for their calming effects on the body, with our Organic Mao Jian green tea we think we’ve created a little cup of calmness…

Spearmint helps cool the body and is often used to calm the stomach, whilst both lemongrass and lemon balm have traditionally been used in herbal medicine for its antibacterial properties and as a sedative for the muscles and mind.

Mao Jian is a lovely, light green tea, making it a good base for blends. As with all green teas, it is high in antioxidants, helping your body fight off natural and chemical toxins and combined with these herbs, it is a wonderfully restorative tea.

And if all this goodness wasn’t enough to make you feel more at ease, it also tastes deliciously refreshing, and tastes just as good a little cooler, so you don’t need to worry about taking your time!

So come in at 2.30pm any day this week to see what a difference indulging in a little moment ‘tranquillity’ can make to your day!
