In the days following the passing of Charlie Kirk, the internet filled with memories—not only of his words but of the small details that reminded many who followed him. Many of those people were you our readers. One memory that quickly spread was his go-to Starbucks order: a Mint Majesty Tea with tw...

Here in the Pacific Northwest, elderberries grow wild along roadsides and riverbanks. Most people pass them by, never realizing there’s a powerful, immune-supporting plant right there waiting to be foraged. Each season, I face the same choice: do I snip the creamy, fragrant flowers or wait for the d...

Boba, also known as ‘bubble tea,’ is a really popular, trendy drink. And while boba sure is delicious, it also has a bunch of sugar, corn syrup, and junk hidden inside of it. Did you know you can easily make your own boba at home? It’s not only more affordable when you do, but it also means you get ...

 I've never been able to drink alcohol — not even a glass of wine. Having non-alcoholic fatty liver disease paired with a compromised digestive system makes alcohol one of the hardest things for me to handle.

 I grew up drinking sun tea like it was going out of style. I could never get enough of it! My mom always made it using Lipton tea bags in one of those big gallon containers with the brightly colored design on the outside. She would fill it up, set it in the sun, and then top it off with sugar. 

Summer is definitely a time for ice-cold drinks. I grew up drinking Lipton’s sun tea all summer long! Nowadays, I still love a good sun tea but made with higher quality loose-leaf tea instead of tea bags. There are so many wonderful cold drink options for summertime, including Starbucks teas and cof...

“Are there microplastics in tea bags?” I spent all last week answering this question in my many tea and herb groups on Facebook.

We often get asked about the safety of tea bags and always recommend avoiding them due to plastics. In fact, microplastics are the main reason that we only sell loose-...

While new herbs interest me (and I love to study them) I don’t particularly care for rare ones that are hard to get. I love using herbs that are easily accessible — even better if they grow in my own garden. Licorice root, star anise, turmeric, and chamomile are just a few! Growing herbal medicine i...

Life can feel overwhelming sometimes — it happens to the best of us! With all of the demands of family, work, and daily life, many carry the weight of anxiety and stress without really realizing how deeply it affects their health.

It should come as no surprise that we’re big tea drinkers. And while we love a good cuppa, something we don’t love is all of the harmful chemicals that can be found in many tea bags. That’s why we much prefer a tea filter!

While certainly convenient, store-bought tea bags are made with materials...
