BENEFITS FOR THE BODY & SOUL
The sensory experience of Harvest Apple Spice begins with its fragrance: a wafting tendril of mulled spices with a faint berry undertow. Each sip imparts a wholesome taste of an orchard-ripe apple with a faintly smoky moment of oak underneath. Evoking the feeling of being wrapped in a blanket by a campfire, this blend brings together the most quintessential scent memories and flavors the season has to offer.

Rooibos (pronounced ROY-boss) is an Afrikaans word that means "red bush". Local indigenous people have long enjoyed it as a fruity, mild-flavored beverage In recent years, rooibos has experienced rapid popularity. Export to the west with the discovery that rooibos has a high antioxidant polyphenol and flavonoid content which can help build the immune system and protect the body from free-radicals that weaken natural defenses.
THE PERFECT FALL HERBAL TEA
As daylight hours grow shorter each fall, we enjoy earlier sunsets and longer evenings stretching ever so slowly toward rest. The fact that herbal teas like Harvest Apple Spice contain no caffeine makes them a perfect nightly ritual, inviting us to wind down from the day with a warm tisane as we prepare for a good night's sleep.
When a tea blend is thoughtfully crafted with a carefully-sourced array of organic ingredients, it offers an opportunity to do something kind for the body, mind and soul, offering respite from the world outside. Apples in particular contain polyphenols—a natural compound found in many beloved foods thought to benefit the heart, the brain, and the body's ability to defend itself against a host of health concerns. With winter just around the corner, treating yourself to a cup of herbal apple tea on a regular basis can be a daily full-body comfort ritual with long-term benefits for body and soul.
