Autumn is our favorite time to revamp and restock the home and office apothecaries with our favorite herbal blends for chillier days ahead. Herbal teas for autumn are especially cozy and warm, and when enjoyed throughout the day can help keep us hydrated, and provide some therapeutic and medicinal value as well! Below are some of our favorite blends that we reach for each day and a few pearls on why we love them:

 

Ginger – ginger is one of the most warming herbs to enjoy in tea form. Its zesty and pungent flavor tastes powerful with every sip, and it really does warm you right up from the inside out. Ginger supports healthy circulation and digestion, making ginger tea a great option for those who run cold or feel like they have a slow or slightly weak digestive system. Our favorites include Lemon Ginger tea, Three Ginger tea, or simmering fresh ginger root on the stove, covered, for about 15 minutes. 

 

Green Tea – a subtle and gentle perk for morning or midday, green tea does contain small amounts of caffeine that is easier to tolerate on an empty stomach in the morning, or is the perfect late afternoon boost if you experience a bit of a slump after lunchtime. Filled with antioxidants and a mild, sweet flavor, this one is essential for any home or office tea nook. We enjoy Yogi Green tea, and Matcha Green tea.

 

Chamomile – nothing feels quite as gentle and comforting for mind, body, and soul as a classic chamomile tea. A calming nervine and digestive tonic, if you just want to sip on a warm, comforting tea all day then chamomile is a perfect choice. It is especially helpful after a meal for easing digestion or after a long and stressful day to help calm your nerves. We enjoy Chamomile, Vanilla Manuka Honey tea, and Fairytale Tea

 

Holy Basil – also known as Tulsi, holy basil is considered a calming adaptogen and has a mild, minty flavor. We love this tea because it feels like it lifts cloudy spirits and is a go-to if we’re feeling our inner Eeyore on gloomy days. It has an uplifting quality that is lovely to lift up the heart and calm our minds and can be enjoyed any time of day or night. Our favorite is Tulsi Rose tea. 

 

Chai blends – for a sweet, zesty, and warming blend midday, chai teas offer a burst of flavors that is both invigorating and cozy. The classic autumn spices like cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves make up chai blends, and each brand may have a different spin on its formulas. We prefer caffeine-free blends such as Vanilla Chai tea and Firefly Chai

 

Mints – spearmint, field mint, and peppermint are all classic choices for a mint tea, with peppermint being the most popular. Each one has a similar “minty” flavor profile, with peppermint being the strongest and spearmint being the sweetest. Mint tea is perfect when you’re feeling eye strain or a tension headache as the aromatic essential oils in mint help to release that tension and bring openness to our headspace. We enjoy Organic Peppermint Tea and Three Mint Tea

 

Note – when purchasing teas, make sure to look for “Certified Organic”, “non-GMO”, Fairtrade, or Fair for Life certified. These certifications ensure the herbs are grown and harvested responsibly.
