As the days gradually become crisp and cool, we seek warming and nourishing food and welcome the return of recipes using familiar seasonal spices. This change in weather also causes us to gravitate towards bold teas that warm the body and spirit.

Adaptogens are herbs and plant extracts that work to counteract the harmful effects of stress in the body.

The Male Guide to Drinking Tea

For many Americans, tea drinking is commonly associated with tea parties with floral place settings or women sitting around drinking high tea in extravagant hats and fancy attire. In other countries around the world, however, there is no perceived femininity of tea. In fact, tea has a very male-dominated history.

Men in China, Japan, and India have been brewing tea for thousands of years to reap its incredible health benefits and enjoy its natural flavors. Japanese Samurai, for instance, turned tea drinking into a ceremonial tradition while discussing important matters of state, which eventually became a tradition that is still used today.
