Tea is an ancient remedy for soothing the nerves We’ve been getting a lot of questions on this topic today (& lately), so here’s our Tea Master’s top tea picks for instant serenity: Angelwater (mint, rose, lavender need we say more?). This is one of our most popular blends & it remarkably effective at helping take the edge off of a stressful situation. Lullaby is a soothing evening blend that envelops you in tranquillity. but you can enjoy it anytime of day when yo...u’re feeling anxious or stressed. Jasmine Oasis transports you to a heavenly jasmine scented oasis - & away from the cares of the world. Dragonwell is a green tea. Our harvest is intentionally grown in shade, which boosts the production of a calming amino acid that creates a zen state of mind. It also provides the tea with a naturally sweeter taste. For added relaxation, before or after your cup of tea, apply our Happy or Sweet Dreams aromatherapy roll-on remedy to temples & pulse points on wrists. Inhale & let serenity wash over you. If black teas are your cup of tea, try London Fog - it contains bergamot which is naturally calming & uplifting, along with vanilla, which also soothes the nerves. Even though black teas contain caffeine & are energizing, they impact everyone differently. If you enjoy black tea & don’t find it overly stimulating, you can enjoy a cup of it to decompress from stress as well. Studies show it helps speed recovery from stress.
