Shalom Teas
I love herbal medicine & this includes herbal teas.
I enjoy blending teas for my clients & have expanded this to include a range of therapeutic blends for common complaints, & have expanded to include some great tasting, health promoting Novelteas.
All my teas are:
-
Naturopath blended (based on my training in herbal medicine)
-
Made from high quality (ACO) certified organic herbs*
-
Therapeutic
-
Taste good
*Occasionally a herb is unavailable as certified organic, in which case I substitute with wildcrafted – that is grown & harvested in the wild from their natural habitat (so while not certified organic, by nature they are grown naturally without chemicals).
All tea blends come in 2 sizes - small and large. Each small bag will make at least 3 cups of tea, large bags will make at least 9 cups of tea.
For regulatory purposes, each blend has a listed weight - this varies from blend to blend as the weight of herbs varies greatly (this doesn't change the number of cups of tea you will get out of the bag). The listed weight for each blend is the minimum weight of tea for that blend as there is variation even within the blend.
I have kept my tea pricing simple at $8 for small bags & $16 for large bags.

Tea or Tisane?
‘Tisane’: an infusion (as of dried herbs) used as a beverage or for medicinal effects.
AKA “herbal tea”; but did you know that herbal teas are not technically teas? By definition “tea” is made from the plant Camellia sinensis (think black tea, green tea, oolong). Herbal “teas” on the other hand are an infusion made from a plant other than Camellia sinensis.
So a ‘herbal tea’ is really a ‘tisane’. I just like the word.
