Looking for a quick pick-me-up in the morning? Feeling like you need a mid-afternoon boost for those long days at the office? Enertea to the rescue! We've blended the energy-giving goodness of Gynostemma, Ginger and Peppermint to create a cup of vim and vigor that will put a gleam in your eye and spicy bounce in your step. To help understand how Enertea can accomplish all of this, lets examine the blend's components in more detail.
Gynostemma: A leafy plant known in China as jiaogulan and a member of the cucumber/gourd family. According to herbalists, Gynostemma is known variously as miracle grass, herb of immortality and the fairy herb. If that doesn't sound like a plant that's going to give you a boost, we don't know what will! The first recorded use of Gynostemma as an energy enhancing tea occurred during China's Qin Dynasty (221 BCE - 206 BCE). The emperor at the time, Qin Shi Huang, drank the tea as part of his daily regimen. He needed it -Qin Shi Huang was responsible for conquering a multitude of independent states and establishing the first unified Chinese empire. (Kinda makes a day at the office feel like no biggie.)
Ginger: Widely regarded as a Yang food by Chinese herbalists, ginger is said to increase the body's heat. Consumed internally, ginger speeds blood circulation and stimulates the body. What's more, ginger's fiery flavor gets the taste buds jumping like nothing else!
Peppermint: Peppermint's ability to get you fired up hardly needs an explanation. Often referred to as the world's oldest medicine, Peppermint has the ability to perk up even the sleepiest of us while delivering high levels of Vitamins C and A. Peppermint's elevated levels of menthol are responsible for its sweet/hot flavor that can heat up and cool the mouth at the same time.
Together, these 3 wonders of the plant world pack quite a punch. So how do they taste all blended up? In a word: delicious. Sweet, with a spicy, minty bite, Enertea rolls over the palate like a tidal wave, filling the mouth with a pleasant herbal astringency. Put on the kettle, brew yourself a cup and get ready for some action!

Brewing Hot
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of herbal tea, 1 tea bag or 1 Q3 single serve packet for each 7-9oz/200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 5-10 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time, the better the flavor as more fruit and herb flavor is extracted). Garnish and sweeten to taste
Brewing Cold
Iced tea brewing method (Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 12 slightly heaping teaspoons of herbal tea, 6 tea bags or 6 Q3 single serve packets into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1 1/3 cups/315ml over the herbal tea. Steep for 5-10 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the tea or removing the tea bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced herb & fruit tea is to increase the strength of hot brew since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
Iced tea brewing method (Individual Serving): Place 2 slightly heaping teaspoons of herbal tea, 1 tea bag or 1 Q3 single serve packet into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the herbal tea. Cover and let steep for 5-10 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea or removing the bags. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional 1/2 serving. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed herb & fruit tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted.
