Also they wanted to emulate us by having a cup of tea. Those of you who have inadvertently tried giving your children drinks that may contain caffeine of large amounts of sugar know that these are hyperactive combinations. You also probably feel a little guilty thinking \"my child should be drinking something that is more healthy and not something that  wires them up\". Well we formulated a Kid's Tea. We theorized that the Herb and Fruit teas are full of natural fruits which are very tasty and refreshing; there are significant amounts of Vitamin C and other essential nutrients in these dried fruits and they are caffeine free so all we had to do was make a blend that was appealing to children's taste buds. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is where my children came in - they became human guinea pigs or perhaps a better term might be young tea tasters. Interestingly, when formulating these blends the reaction whether they were tasty or not was swift - probably one of the fastest tasting sessions we have ever carried out. Children and adults alike can enjoy these teas - either hot or cold! At home we would always keep a pitcher of Kid's Tea in the refrigerator, which our children consumed with great delight. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA few tips:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- do not sugar these teas excessively; there are natural sugars in the fruits, which sweeten the brew when rehydrated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- make popsicles from the Kid's Tea for your children to enjoy outside with their friends\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- let them pour their own drinks (outside of course! they have to learn sometime) - the low cost of kid's tea (despite it's wonderful taste) makes a learning curve relatively inexpensive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- in the evening after dinner they to can enjoy a warm beverage and you can enjoy a relatively peaceful moment as a family.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- take the bubblegum out before you add the hot liquid to make the tea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blend of various dried fruits and herbs from Canada, USA, Thailand, Spain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apple + Rosehip pieces, Hibiscus + Cornflower petals, Currants, Elderberries, Natural flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wildberry currant and fruity, tending sweet with a slight tart character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInfusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tending red\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Hot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil.

The condition, known scientifically as desynchronosis, is the result of crossing time zones faster than your internal clock can keep up.

According to sleep researchers, there are two peak times a day when these rhythms kick in, 3 am to 5 am and 3 pm to 5 pm.

There are many who opt for a chemically assisted solution, i.e. popping a sleeping pill and drifting off to sleep once the plane has reached cruising altitude. Certainly this would ensure you get to your destination rested, but sleeping pills come with their own set of potential complications. Since our business necessitates almost continual travel to the world's distant quarters, we've developed a number of methods for combating jet lag to the best of our abilities. One of these has always been to pack a blend of rooibos and camomile for the journey. We like to bring a couple of tea sacs in our carry-on and infuse a cup once airborne. The herbal combo soothes the mind and body and provides the body with a good dose of vitamins and antioxidants, making our arrival a little more easy to deal with.

On one trip to visit with an Indian supplier, our Master Blender set off from our Canadian office in Toronto, flew 8 hours to Zurich, another hour to Rome, then 15 hours to Colombo, Sri Lanka where he spent 2 hours laid over, flew to Chennai, India, spent a further 8 hours laid over, where he discovered that his luggage hadn't arrived and finally hopping a flight to Calcutta. All told, from the time he left the office until he reached the guesthouse where he would be staying, 42 hours had elapsed! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuffice it to say that on a trip like that, the hours, days, customs clearings, airports, meals taken at odd times, countries, languages and time zones blend into a jet-lag so thick it feels like walking you're walking through soup. In a word, it's bonkers. What does it feel like? If asked, you might well have heard our Master Bender say something along the lines of, \"I feel like I've been hit by a bus!\" Or, \"I feel like I've been shot out of a cannon.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, since these trips are business trips, not vacations, when Metropolitan personnel arrive overseas they have to gather themselves quickly and conduct business. So, in addition to learning a thing or two about jet lag, we've also learned a few ways to combat the affliction. In addition to staying hydrated, exercising and eating well, we've found that a nice cup of tea can help out nicely. To that end we're pleased to offer some of our Master Blender's secret Jet Lag tea recipes.

For travelers in particular, maintaining a sense of physical and spiritual equilibrium can feel next to impossible. There are flights and flight delays, there's waiting for luggage that may or may not arrive, foreign airports, stations and streets to navigate -sometimes it seems everything is conspiring to throw us off track. Thankfully, Balance is here to help restore a little balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the first sip of this spectacular blend, the body seems to reconfigure itself along a more peaceful meridian. Chilean rosehip makes an excellent tonic for a tired and worn out body. Anise was well known amongst ancient Egyptians to rejuvenate the digestive system and soothe your respiratory pathways and raspberry is known to improve your vitality. Licorice is a powerful herb that eases body tensions and clears the respiratory system. The spice components of clove and cardamom jump start your entire body. There is much historical evidence to suggest that Nettle, a component of the blend has the ability to settle the body. Some natural historians report that ancient druid herbalists frequently prescribed nettle for its natural medicinal properties. Likewise calendula, has long been prized by herbalists for its ability to cleans and detoxify the body, in particular the liver and gallbladder. Safflower, another component is also believed in natural medicine circles to enhance blood circulation and restore balance to the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaken together, these herbs work to restore internal order in the body and make us feel better about ourselves. (Not only that, but they taste great! The cup offers a mellow herbaceous character with light spice that our taste testers found irresistible.) The next time you're feeling a little out of the loop, ask for a cup of Balance, your body will thank you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blended in Canada with components from: Chile, Egypt, Thailand, South Africa, Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maipo valley, Nile Delta, Sing Buri, Cedarberg, Tuscany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Teabag =TBC (tea bag cut herbs and fruit), Loose tea=Coarse cut herbs and fruit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e Various: sea level to 2500 feet above sea level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Various including air or machine dried, cut and sift, hand or machine sorting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosehip, Anise, Raspberry, Nettle, Licorice, Cardamom, Rooibos, Clove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e A satisfying and deliciously balanced blend.

We can learn a lot about bees form these three verses. We'll go about it backwards. Verse three - A swarm of bees in July are not worth a fly. Why? By July, pollination of the fruits and vegetables we eat is long over. Verse two - A swarm of bees in June is worth a silver spoon. Why? The summer is when honey, nature's sweetest nectar, is typically produced. Finally verse one -A swarm of bees in May is worth a load of hay. Why? For the answer we turn again to pollination. In this verse, hay is standing in for all fruits and vegetables pollinated by the honeybee. Unbeknownst to many, bees are responsible for pollinating upwards of 60% of the produce we eat. No bees, no produce. It's a fact. To honor this noble insect and its important role in our lives, our Master Blender developed this juicy blend of the fruit and flowers it loves. Bees - Buzz! Buzz!

Generally (dependent upon weather patterns) the second cut (takes place during mid\/end August) is the most flavorful, coolest and most pungent, (literally takes your breath away and makes your eyes water). Peppermint is an herb and contains no caffeine. Quite often peppermint is consumed after meals as the oils stimulate the flow of bile to the stomach and helps relieve gas pains. Additionally, it has been reported and written that peppermint sweetens the breath and calms the digestive system, plus it helps heartburn, stomach ache and nausea. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are several varieties and countries of origin of \u003cem\u003eChamomila\u003c\/em\u003e - sometimes referred to as bachelor buttons because of the shape of the flower heads - but the best quality comes from Egypt. The sandy loam and nutrients from the Nile create perfect growing conditions. Camomile flowers have a yellow center and white petals - they almost look like a daisy. Essential oils in the flowers produce a soothing pleasant aroma and a fruity character. In some parts of Europe, particularly southern France, camomile plants have been strewn on floors or pathways to give the area a good scent. Camomile can be made into a pleasant aromatic tea which is slightly bitter but with a fruity flavor. It is often sipped for relief of health problems ranging from toothache to nervousness. Camomile has also been noted as beneficial for soothing headaches and is a natural relaxing herb known to assist the restless and those suffering from insomnia. In many circles Camomile is called nighty night tea or sleepy tea on account of its natural properties which promote restfulness and drowsiness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCombining these two wonderful and extensively used herbs has produced a wonderful, caffeine free, cup of herbal tea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: If you are pregnant, unsure whether you should drink this herbal tea or simply concerned; we recommend you consult your physician fro consumption advice.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Egypt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nile River Delta\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1st Grade\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e below 500 feet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Field grown, sundried\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury egyptian camomile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very aromatic with a fruity tending floral flavor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInfusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tending light and yellowish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Hot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil.

The sandy loam and nutrients from the Nile create perfect growing conditions. Camomile flowers have a yellow center and white petals - they almost look like a daisy. Essential oils in the flowers produce a soothing pleasant aroma and a fruity character. In some parts of Europe, particularly southern France, camomile plants have been strewn on floors or pathways to give the area a good scent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCamomile can be made into a pleasant aromatic tea which is slightly bitter but with a fruity flavor. It is often sipped for relief of health problems ranging from toothache to nervousness. Camomile has also been noted as beneficial for soothing headaches and is a natural relaxing herb known to assist the restless and those suffering from insomnia. In many circles Camomile is called nighty night tea or sleepy tea on account of its natural properties, which promote restfulness and drowsiness. It is also known to assist digestive disorders by settling the stomach and calming the nerves. The plant's botanical name \u003cem\u003eMatricaria\u003c\/em\u003e, is derived from the Latin term for womb because it was once used as an herb to treat female troubles. \u003cem\u003eCamomile\u003c\/em\u003e is derived from ancient Greek and translates as \u003cem\u003e\"Ground Apple\"\u003c\/em\u003e in reference to the fruity aroma.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLike many teas and herbs camomile should be consumed without the addition of milk but this does not preclude additives such as honey, lime, lemon, cinnamon etc. One of the fun things to do with a widely used consumer herb like camomile is to make your own blend. Try camomile with peppermint and call it Camomint Soothing Sleeper - camomile provides the sleepy portion of your blend and the peppermint provides the soothing part (peppermint is known to soothe upset stomachs).

Way back then, according to an essay published in China later on during the 3\u003csup\u003erd\u003c\/sup\u003e century BC, Shang dynasty rulers had already pinpointed the world's finest ginger growing in Sichuan province. In those days ginger was also being widely consumed throughout India by the ancient Hindus. Both cultures thought very highly of ginger for both its use as a food ingredient and for its purported medicinal properties. Its beneficial uses in this regard were thought to cover a veritable grocery list of common human ailments ranging from indigestion, to lack of appetite, the common cold, nausea, morning sickness related to pregnancy, leprosy, even restoring a low sex drive! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs previously mentioned, widespread use of ginger was not limited solely to the ancient East but spanned the globe. For the Romans, Greeks, Moroccans, and other historic cultures of the Mediterranean, ginger root also held a valuable place in every household. Interestingly it was in these communities that dried ginger - like the one we are offering here - began its rise in popularity. The reason for this method of consumption was born out of necessity as the root was transported along the ancient caravan routes from the Far East. Fresh ginger would spoil during the long trip; so enterprising merchants devised methods for drying the raw root. As time wore on, fresh ginger became available in the West as the root came to be grown in parts of Europe and Africa. Even so, many cultures continued to use the dried variety.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nWe're pleased to offer you our version, which is grown in the Sing Buri region of Thailand, home to some of the world's finest ginger farms.

They believe that a cup in the morning invigorates them for the day ahead and a cup after work helps them unwind. Now here's the amazing part -the people of these villages routinely live to be more than 100 years old. In the 1960s, a team of Chinese medicinal practitioners and herbalists researched the phenomena and made some interesting discoveries. They found that the herb was very high in antioxidants and functioned as a powerful \u003cem\u003eadaptogen, \u003c\/em\u003ean herb that increases the body's resistance to trauma, anxiety and fatigue. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInterestingly, the herb's adaptogenic properties were known about at least as far back as 1406.

If you are using hibiscus petals in a tea and you intend to add milk to the tea, keep the ratio of hibiscus to tea low, as hibiscus will curdle milk. If teashops want to create their own signature blends, hibiscus can make your blend distinctive and a blend that only you can create.

Inspired by Ipanema's world famous beaches - listed by the Travel Channel as the world's sexiest -Clementine Spice has music on the mind. [A historical footnote, Ipanema beach wasn't always so sexy. The name Ipanema comes from the Tupi language, spoken by Brazil's native inhabitants and means, \"bad water\". However, the beach's water is remarkably clean owing to large breakers offshore -so why the name? Well, the ancient Tupi relied on the warm southern waters for fish, and since these waves break very close to shore at Ipanema, the shoreline was no good for fishing.] It is of course, perfect for sun tanning!

After numerous experiments, our Master Blender settled on a combination of dried herbs and fruits infused with the sweet citrusy goodness of all-natural clementine flavoring. It was felt that clementines possessed the perfect balance of sweetness and tangy citrus -the embodiment of the sun itself -and best reflected the spirit of the beach. [Another historical footnote: clementines, (Latin: Citrus reticulata) weren't named until 1902. It is believed the fruit was discovered by a priest, Father Cl̩ment Rodier, in the garden of an orphanage he ran in Algeria. After the discovery, people began to call the fruit clementine after the old priest who found them.]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTurn up the heat with a spicy pot of Ipanema Clementine Spice today.

Lavender is also used for soothing the nervous system, (see below directions for preparation as an infusion).Lavender is also used as a local anesthetic. It is applied as a compress directly on a cut, bruise or sprain. To make lavender decoction boil 3 tablespoons of flowers in 1 liter (or quart) for 10 minutes. For bee stings, a teaspoon of petals in a sachet soaked in very hot water and then applied to the sting can help ease the pain and swelling. Lavender is often used to make a bath a pure aromatic delight. The practice of using it in bathes dates to ancient Rome where lavender was so prized that few of the aristocracy considered bathing without it. Proof of this can be found in the root of lavenders names: In Latin, \u003cem\u003elavare\u003c\/em\u003e means \"to wash\".

Many of the most famous of these can be found on the European flavored streets of San Telmo, the city's oldest residential barrio, (neighborhood). San Telmo's decidedly Bohemian feel is best experienced with a stroll through the narrow streets that wind and converge at elegant intersections anchored by such celebrated cafes as the Bar Britanico, El Hipopotamo and Bar el Federal. A stop at any of these establishments offers an opportunity to enjoy a \u003cem\u003ePicada\u003c\/em\u003e, an Argentinian plate of meats, cheeses, bread and olives followed by a steaming cup of Mate served as a non-alcoholic digestif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMate has been quaffed in large quantities by porte̱os (citizens of Buenos Aires) since at least the 17\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century. The beverage is traditionally prepared by packing dried Mate leaf into a hollowed calabash gourd and sipping it through a silver straw, known as a \u003cem\u003ebombadillo\u003c\/em\u003e. The drink was introduced to European settlers by native inhabitants of the region who prized the leaf for it's soothing effect on the digestive system and restorative properties, owing to the presence of \u003cem\u003eMateine\u003c\/em\u003e, a relative to caffeine. Recent studies have shown that the tea is also rich in a multitude of nutrients including antioxidants, Vitamins A, C, E, B11, B2, calcium, potassium and more. What's more, Mate is believed by some to improve cholesterol levels and allergy symptoms.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best part of a steaming cup of Mate however is the flavor. On its own, the cup is raw, pleasingly bitter with a subtle astringent bite. We've sourced a delicious new variant on tradition in the form of this amazing lemon flavored blend. The presence of all natural lemon flavoring adds an incredible layer of sweet and sour citrus that fills out the cup and lingers on the finish.

Of Thailand's roughly 65 million people, 64% are engaged in agriculture with roughly 5.2 million farming families. Most of these families run small subsistance operations. In recent years however, the Thai government has encouraged crop diversification as a way to help build a more sustainable agricultural economy. Among the crops they recommended was lemongrass. Why was lemongrass chosen? Interestingly, the Thai government recognized that since millions of Thai nationals had emigrated to Western countries, and with Thai restaurants subsequently springing up everywhere from London, to Buenos Aires, to Milwaukee, lemongrass was effectively being marketed worldwide. They saw that the world over, the lemony flavour was being used to flavor everything from curry to Thai milk shakes.

The Egyptians believed that in the same way that a grandfather cares for his grandchildren, licorice root eased coughs and other lung related ailments - hence the name.

OK, we made up the Woodstock part - but all the information we came across did indicate that this name was probably developed by Hippies.

The Mercedes nameplate has graced the front of luxury automobiles in one form or another since 1900. But did the name start with, and is our herb and fruit tea named after a car? Let's delve further. The name Mercedes actually began as a Spanish girl's name. In fact, in 1878 the Spanish Queen Consort, wife of King Alfonso XII was a Mercedes, Maria de las Mercedes d'Orl̩ans y Borbon, a.k.a Merc̩ed̩es\/ Marie des Graces d'Orleans-Montpensier, to be exact. (Not sure that name would fit on our tea label.) Then there was Dia Maria de las Mercedes de Borbon y Habsburgo-Lorena of Spain, a princess and former Heiress Presumptive of the Spanish royal crown from 1885-1886. (Also a little long for a tea label.) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMore recently there is Mercedes Agnes Carlotta McCambridge, the 1949 Academy award winning actress, Mercedes Sosa, the famed Argentinean folk singer and Merc̩desz Stieber the famous Hungarian water polo player. Reading through the list it's clear that in addition to the luxury car brand, the name Mercedes has over the years, graced an eclectic mix of interesting and notable female characters. So is our tea named after one of these? Hmm, we still haven't taken into account all of the towns and cities that carry the name. There's Mercedes, Argentina, Mercedes, Philippines, Mercedes, Uruguay and Mercedes Texas, not to mention two Colleges carrying the name in Australia. Clearly, the name is everywhere. So, who or what is our tea named in honor of? Well, we're going to have to go with... all of them, you know, to reflect the rich tapestry of life in the grand sense of the term. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo further reflect that rich tapestry, we've woven together some of the richest, spiciest and most flavorful ingredients we could find. The cup opens with the crisp character of autumn apple delicately layered with exotic cardamom, cloves and pepper leading to a light lingering cinnamon finish.

You aren't alone. The term has been variously attributed to a famous Harlem Jazz club of the 30's, a popular dance move and an old horse track. The last of these is believed to be the true origin. According to a old time New York reporter, \u003cem\u003eBig Apple\u003c\/em\u003e was a term coined by traveling stable boys from New Orleans working the New York tracks. Apparently, they loved coming to the city because that's where the big money was. Evidently the opportunities were so great they began referring to New York as the Big Apple -a place where everyone could get a bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eName aside, New York, both the city and State has a long apple tradition. In fact, no fewer than seven apple varieties got their start in NY State -the Acey Mac, Cortland, Empire, Fortune, Jonagold, Jonamac and Macoun. One need only take a country drive around the state to see how engrained the tart crispy fruit is in the psyche of NY. The traditions reach so far back it is believed the first commercial orchards were probably planted by the Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam sometime in the 1700s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, as any good North American will tell you, when there are apples, pie is sure to follow. And as any good tea master will tell you, when you have a superb flavor profile, as you do with apple pie in its marriage of tart crisp apple and delicate spice m̩lange, a tea blend is sure to follow. We developed New York Apple Spice with the goal of capturing all the fruity nuance of spiced apples and the lush orchards they come from. A pure herb and fruit tea, New York Apple spice offers a character as robust as the city it's named after and the vitamin and antioxidant power of hibiscus, rosehip and apples. The blend is rounded out by the addition of cinnamon and cloves to add a pointed layer of spice to the cup.

The call of sea birds overhead? Warm breezes blowing in off the water? Fishing boats put-putting out to the great deeps? It's impossible to pinpoint one feature on its own - the answer of course is all of the above. In the same way you might ask -what makes At the Waterfront herbal tea so appealing? Is it the spearmint? The peppermint? The South African Honeybush? Again the answer is all of the above. Let's break it down to discover why. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpearmint (Mentha spicata) -Native to Europe and parts of Asia, natural health practitioners believe that spearmint engenders a calming effect on the digestive system. The spicy herb also packs a full-bodied minty flavor.\u003cbr\u003ePeppermint (Mentha piperita) -Often referred to as the world's oldest medicine, Peppermint was used by the ancient Greeks and Egyptians as a nerve tonic and stimulant. Stimulant eh? One taste and you'll see why. \u003cbr\u003eRosebuds -Roses have been used to flavor beverages since at least the days of the ancient Egyptians. Their addition to this blend adds subtle floral notes reminiscent of late summer.\u003cbr\u003eHibiscus -The petals of the hibiscus flower, one of the most beautiful exotic flowers on earth, has been used to make herbal teas from Mexico to the Sudan. Worldwide, there are more than 220 known varieties of this stunning flower. \u003cbr\u003eOsmanthus -A highly fragrant flower. On their own, they produce a rich, floral cup. As part of a blend they add a well-balanced, herbaceous layer of flavor. Used as an herbal tea in China for millennia.\u003cbr\u003eCamomile -Arguably one of the world's most popular herbal teas, camomile has been grown in Egypt since the days of the pharaohs. Known to aid digestion and engender an overall feeling of well-being. Great before bed. \u003cbr\u003eHoneybush (Cyclopia) -Native to South Africa, Honeybush is known in Afrikaans as \"Heuningbos\" The plant gets its name by virtue of the fact that the leaves produce a sweet, honey-ish tea. Similar in character to Rooibos, with added sweetness \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePut all the above together and you've got an amazing cup of herbal tea.

Without dating him too much, we can tell you that back in the early 70's, he took a motorcycle trip through Europe - something which worried his mother back home in Canada to no end. (Don't worry though, he wore a helmet. It's still hanging at his cottage!) The southern leg of this journey took the future tea Master through the rolling dry hills of Spain, through one dusty village after the next. One morning on a whim he turned his bike in the direction of Valencia, a city noted for its lush orange groves. Once he arrived there he took a room in a local Pensione, dusted himself off, and ordered up a lunch of roasted chicken and fries. A few minutes later, the Pensione keeper's wife appeared in the doorway with his tray of chicken, and a glass of the house specialty to wash it down. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHad the house specialty been wine, this story would be going nowhere. But as luck would have it, the woman had brought him a tall glass of freshly squeezed orange juice scented with Vanilla. (Later that night, this time after a few glasses of wine, he found out that the Pensione Keeper's brother kept an orange grove, and his uncle grew vanilla on Madagascar. He also found out that the Pension keeper had a daughter home for the summer from the art College in Madrid but that's another story.) Anyway, the lingering flavor of this glass of juice stayed with him for many years until one day, after he had found his calling, he decided to brew an herbal tisane that captured its sweet essence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter experimenting with various blends our Master taster finally hit on a blend that perfectly captured the magnificent flavor that had so impressed him many years before. The result is the caffeine free tisane you have before you now - a blend of herbs and fruit that imparts a wonderfully fresh citrus character balanced by soft creamy notes of vanilla.

Most of the aesthetic gardens in the Roman colonies went to seed leaving only those that provided food, such as vegetables and orchards. Ironically it was during the Dark Ages that the science of herbal medicine made great strides and the unique trustee of ancient Roman and Greek scholars' knowledge was the Catholic Church. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was the time when monks pioneered agriculture. Each monastery had its own orchard, vegetable garden and a\u003cem\u003e hortus conclusus\u003c\/em\u003e, or closed garden. The closed garden was used to grow herbs that were both spiritual and curative. Lilies and roses formerly woven into the wreaths of the Roman gods Isis and Aphrodite were now used to worship the Madonna. The importance of these gardens was such that around the year 800, the emperor Charlemagne sent each of his intendants a list of those plants that were to be cultivated in his empire. The document was known as \u003cem\u003eDe Capitularis\u003c\/em\u003e and of the ninety plants listed the iris and rose were first and second respectively; followed by several other commonly know herbs such as sage, rosemary, cumin, mint, mallow and coriander. These plants played important roles, both culinary and medicinal. They often conferred taste and color to foods and perhaps most important, they preserved foods and masked the taste and odor of overaged meats. During the 1100's the Crusades came upon the Italian town of Salerno which was the site of a renowned medical school founded by four doctors, an Arab, a Roman, a Greek, and a Jew each of whom was appointed the guardian of the secular knowledge of their people. These men were recognized as true masters and their teachings would influence European medicine for centuries to come. Rose petals and buds were used by women to enhance the beauty of their hair and skin. Not surprising, knowing that following the rose blooming a rose hip develops, and a rose hip contains a multitude of vitamins which have properties that enhance one's skin amongst its other properties. There are more different kinds of roses than of any other plant in the herb category, and they all provide rose hips of one description or another. One variety of rose is even called Tea Rose named for the resemblance of its fragrance to black tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTea uses - Rose petals are commonly used to make a tea blend or infusion colorful and visually appealing. If teashops want to create their own signature blends, rose petals and buds can make your blend distinctive and a blend that only you can create. A special blend helps build loyalty amongst your customers and is well worth the effort. A lovely recipe using rose petals is called Darjeeling Rose Orange Cinnamon Tea - a delightful mix of rosebuds with an orange cinnamon zest that can be consumed hot or iced. This tea is best consumed without milk. For each serving you will need: 1 1\/2 teaspoon of Mim Darjeeling estate tea, a large pinch of rose petals and buds, a teaspoon of orange peel and a pinch of cinnamon. Mix everything together and prepare as you would for a normal cup of tea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tuscany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buds and petals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e below 1000 ft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type: \u003c\/strong\u003eDried Rosebuds and petals\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose buds and petals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light floral notes and pleasant lingering finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInfusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tending light pink with light rosy notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Hot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil.

For some it's a walk in the woods, taking the air while birds call from the trees. For others serenity is found within - a calming of the spirit. Throughout human history many have tried to capture the feeling of serenity and what it means to us as individuals. The ancient Greeks developed the concept of ataraxia, the absence of cares and freedom from worry. From Buddhism we get Passaddhi, serenity of the body, speech and thoughts on the path to enlightenment. More recently, Romantic poet William Wordsworth, (7 April 1770 -23 April 1850) wrote that \"poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in serenity\". We couldn't have said it any better ourselves. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eUnfortunately, as modern people in our busy world, finding peaceful moments in which to reflect on life and wax poetic may be a little hard to find.

The basic odor is fresh, piquant and peppery, but can vary with each type of mint. All the varieties of mint belong to the same botanical family, Labiatae, and their lavender or rose-colored flowers blossom all summer long. In an early Greek myth, Persephone, the queen of the underworld, became angry at her husband's wandering eye, especially when Hades noticed a young nymph names Minthe. One day, in a fit of jealousy, she turned the lovely woman into mint. Armed with this story, Hippocrates warned men to use mint cautiously.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpearmint, mentha spicata, also known as garden mint, balm mint or Notre-Dame mint, is one of the most well known and commonly found varieties. Its narrow leaves are deep green and its flowers are grouped together in pointed spearhead formation. Spearmint is highly appreciated for its digestive properties and its ability to relieve nausea especially due to motion sickness. Quite often it is also used to find relief from headaches and tension. Inhaling the steam from a double strength infusion will help relieve nasal congestion. Mint tea can also be used in compresses to soothe itching and inflammation. In the olden days, some doctors claimed mint was an effective aphrodisiac. In the book - The Taste of Morocco, Robert Carrier notes that mint tea is used to \"cure insomnia, calm the nerves, sharpen the senses and wake up those who are drowsing\". As with any herb, if you begin taking it for medicinal reasons, you should do so in tandem with a doctor's consultation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMint is lovely when blended with lime, but also works marvelously with balm, green anise, vervain, orange blossom and licorice. Mint is a traditional drink in North Africa and the Middle East and is always served to welcome friends, family or visitors from afar. It is very often prepared using green tea - generally gunpowder tea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRECIPE FOR MOROCCAN MINT TEA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlace 2 or 3 tsp. of green gunpowder or black tea into a teapot and add boiling water.
