In the winter months, we always keep our cupboards filled with warming, soothing teas and tonics to stay cozy and share with visiting friends and family. Keeping in mind the energetics of the season, we suggest balancing the cold and damp temperatures outside with warming and more drying herbs and tonics. Below are a few of our favorite beverages and herbal supports for the winter season:

 

  1. Lemon + Ginger Tea – a classic combination of zesty and warm ginger with tart lemon feels extra comforting on cold and damp evenings. This is a wonderful tea to drink daily if you’ve got a cold or feel the “sniffles” coming on, as ginger warms the body from the inside out and lemon offers an extra kick of vitamin C. Traditional Medicinals makes one of our preferred blends of Lemon & Ginger tea

 

  1. Mushroom-enhanced coffee – for a boost of morning enlightenment, an organic coffee with cerebral supporting mushrooms Lions Mane & Chaga help our brains take on the day with enhanced mental focus and long-term positive mood. We like Four Sigmatic Think Whole Bean Coffee for this unique combination. 

 

  1. Matcha – for those with a lower caffeine intake, matcha is an ideal choice for a gentle boost of energy along with mental clarity. Because matcha contains both caffeine and the amino acid L-theanine, this is a more mentally and physically calming energy boost than coffee, along with the added benefit of antioxidants. 

 

  1. Tulsi + Rose – for those with a touch of the winter blues, tulsi is our go-to herb that feels like a hug in a cup. Part of the mint family, tulsi is a delicious and uplifting herb that supports not only our mental state, but has traditionally been used to enhance one’s spiritual practice, support overall digestion, and as a gentle adaptogen. Paired with the sweetness of rose petals, this flavor combination is a wonderful herbal tea to enjoy every day as part of your morning routine or to share with a friend over a winter visit. We enjoy Organic India’s Tulsi Rose tea

 

  1. Dream Elixir – with longer nights and (hopefully) a bit more time for sleep, this can be a fun season to play while enjoying our dream time and evening rituals. If you have ever enjoyed having vivid dreams, or sometimes have a difficult time remembering your dreams the next day, herbs such as passionflower and skullcap can enhance your dreams while the calming benefits of ashwagandha and kava kava make a soothing transition into bedtime. We enjoy this unique Dream Elixir in our evening routines.
