3 Teas that Will Help You Get in the Holiday Spirit with Cured Leaves Tea Co.
It’s that time of year again! The holiday season is upon us, filled with good food, family, and friends. There’s just something about sipping a hot mug of tea when it’s cold and nippy out.
For some people, this time of year is nothing but stress; for some it even leads to depression. And that’s understandable. The darker days often cause vitamin D deficiencies in some people, which can result in not only mood shifts and fatigue, but also bone pain and muscle weakness.
And while drinking tea generally can’t help you get more vitamin D (supplements or food can help with that), it can lift your mood and help you cope with any extra stress you might be feeling. Here at Cured Leaves Tea Co., we’re looking to sip something authentic that not only tickles our taste buds but also lifts our spirit.
To help you get into the holiday spirit (or deal with its stress), here are three teas from our collection that will warm your body and heart, while relaxing your mind.
We all know that, starting in October, this is the time of year for pumpkin spice everything. People tend to gravitate to that flavoring because it warms them when it’s chilly. Those flavor combinations might be a bit played out, but many of us still crave something spicy to sip. If that sounds like you, Great Rise might be exactly what you’re looking for.
A robust blend, this black tea offers notes of citrus, spice, and cloves that will waken your senses. It's a great tea to start the day with, giving you a moment of respite before you tackle whatever holiday challenges lay ahead. It also serves as a delicious latte!
Now, for those of you want to kick it up a notch, our Spicy Black Chai is right up your alley. It’s a traditional Malawian-grown black tea that we’ve combined with traditional chai spices like cardamon, pepper, cinnamon, and others. This unique blend is a full-on multi-sensory experience, with a fragrance that will instantly put you into a festive mood. Sipping this will warm you up more than any ugly sweater.
This time of year, we often find ourselves reflecting on what’s passed and what’s to come. Or we find ourselves wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of the season.
If this sounds familiar, then our Quietude tea might be perfect for you. A pleasing blend of South African Honeybush and green rooibos, chamomile, valerian root, lavender, and calendula deliver a warm, soothing, and relaxing sip that’s perfect for helping you unwind and let go.
Know someone who loves tea, but you’re not sure what to get them? Our 5-tea sampler set makes the perfect gift for anyone looking for a satisfying sip. Of course, you could also get them something from our signature line of teaware, too, for the complete experience!
And if you want to give back, Cured Leaves Tea Co. has the perfect opportunity for you. We have partnered with Satemwa Tea & Coffee Estates to allow our customers to pay for planting a new fruit tree in Malawi. Satemwa works diligently to protect the indigenous forest on and around their estate, and through our partnership we are working to help small farmers diversify their income, improve their carbon footprint, reduce food insecurities and atmospheric CO2 by planting fruit trees!
Cured Leaves Tea wishes you and your loved ones a happy and healthy holiday season!
