**The magic... **

Each ingredient in this blend has a long history of use in herbal traditions. Together, they create a harmonious tea that calms the mind, soothes the senses, and enhances your overall sense of well-being. Here’s why they work so well together:

Chamomile

Chamomile is beloved for its gentle, soothing qualities and its naturally sweet, floral flavor. Known as a classic herb for unwinding, chamomile is often associated with relaxation and tranquility. It’s perfect for creating a comforting cup of tea.

Catnip

Catnip isn’t just for our feline friends. For humans, it’s a wonderful addition to herbal teas, offering a mild, minty taste that complements relaxing blends beautifully. Historically, it’s been used to create a sense of calm, making it a great alternative to peppermint in evening blends.

Lemon Balm

This lemon-scented herb is uplifting yet soothing, with a light citrus flavor that brightens the blend. It’s often used in teas to encourage relaxation and to help ease the day’s stresses.

Lavender Buds

Lavender is as calming as its scent suggests, bringing a delicate floral note to the blend. While it’s best known for its aroma, it’s also a popular addition to herbal teas to create a spa-like experience.
