Tea

Summer is on its way! 
Beat the heat by chilling some of the brews below.

We proudly carry Mountain Rose Herbs organic teas.

Infusion = Tea made from leaves, flowers and light material. Put 1-2 teaspoons of herbal tea material into a brewing utensil of your choice and place in a 6-8 oz size cup. Add lightly boiled water and allow it to steep for 3-5 minutes. For a more "medicinal" effect steep 15-30 minutes. Will keep refrigerated for 24 hours.

Decoction = Tea made from bark, roots, seeds, twigs and berries. Put 1-3 tablespoons of cut herb, seed, root, bark, etc into a pot of water (16-32 oz) and allow to sit in non-boiled water for at least 5-10 minutes. Set on stove and bring to a slow boil, then turn down to a simmer for 10-30 minutes. Strain and drink. Will keep about 72 hours if refrigerated. Most decoctions can also be brewed via single cup through a regular infusion process as noted above, but without the strength.
