Something we’ve put our minds to this holiday season is bringing you a few small items that would make excellent stocking stuffers. Among those are our brand new, house-made herbal tea bath sachets! Each of them is a collection of herbs, hand selected by our in-house herbalist, and lovingly placed into muslin bags marked with our beautiful logo.
Each sachet is meant to be simmered in a gallon of water for about 8-10 minutes or until the tea begins to become fragrant. The sachet is taken out of the water and the resulting tea is poured into a nice, hot bath. To give a bit of variety, there are three options: Refreshing Blue Mint, Moisturizing Flowers, and Warm ‘n’ Cozy.
Refreshing Blue Mint is a delightfully zingy combination of peppermint, spearmint, Chu Mei Green Tea, and Butterfly Pea Flowers. As you brew this tea, the water will become blue and will give a sense of adventure and whimsy to any holiday time bath.
Moisturizing Flowers is a fragrant collection of flowers and skin-nourishing leaves- Rose Petals, Lavender Flowers, Jasmine Flowers, Hibiscus Flowers, and Marshamllow Leaves. This tea not only smells amazing, but will leave your skin feeling silky smooth after your bath.
Warm ‘n’ Cozy is meant to evoke those Winter nights spent all bundled up with a cup of your favorite, spiced tea. Cinnamon, Star Anise, Allspice, Nutmeg, and Black Tea combine to create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere perfect for a good book and a hot bath.
With any of these tea baths, the sachet can be used twice. Once the bag is simmered once, allow it to cool and then put it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
