Our Favourite Wellness Teas and the Benefits of Herbs

It’s incredibly humbling to know that you can add a bit of wellness to your day with just a cup of hot water and a spoonful of herbs. At Cup of Tea, we love all tea but drink many herbal and fruit infusions to promote our wellbeing. We know the importance of hydration, but herbs can help to balance our bodies and minds.

Herbs, throughout the centuries, have been reputed to have incredible healing, wellness and mindful properties. Some are great for aiding sleep and digestion, while others help to calm or inspire. The natural world is full of gentle and natural ways of helping us.

Packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, our herbal and wellness teas offer a beneficial alternative to regular tea and coffee while helping to detoxify and boost our energy.

We’ve selected our favourite caffeine-free, balancing tea infusions for you to try. Our teas are expertly blended, unless they are pure herbs such as camomile or mint, and sourced from small tea gardens and producers. We only select the highest quality of teas to stock in our online tea shop and personally try all the teas before they go on sale. We hope you enjoy some of these wellness-inspired tea blends, and if you do, please drop us a line at orders@cupoftea.co.uk and tell us what you think!

Our Best Balance Tea is a smooth blend of Rooibos tea with honeybush, aniseed, fennel, and camomile with the taste of honey. A naturally caffeine-free herbal infusion is a balanced blend of a bold red bush with enlivening herbs. High in vitamin C, full of antioxidants and minerals such as iron, calcium and potassium, Rooibos also contains alpha-hydroxy acid to promote good skin health.

Cinnamon is full of antioxidants, such as polyphenols, which help fight damaging free radicals.

We love the new Feel Balanced tea because it has the right balance of sweetness with tangy tartness – it’s a feel-good tea!

Sleep Well Loose-Leaf Herbal Tea

Nothing promotes wellness better than a good night’s sleep. Our Sleep Well Tea is an excellent herbal tea with warming caramel notes. The infusion aims to soothe and help with sleep. The calming herbal tea is naturally caffeine-free with vitamin-rich South African Rooibos and anise, balm, blackberry leaves and liquorice.

Joy of Tea Organic Wellness Tea Bags

Our Joy of Tea Wellness teabags is an organic wellness infusion of herbs. The perfectly balanced tea contains Rooibos and fresh organic mint and aniseed. Mint is a well-known herb that helps sore or overindulged tummies, while the power of Rooibos offers added vitamin C, iron, calcium and potassium to your diet.

The real-leaf tea comes in large innovative teabags that provide all the space these lovely teas need to unfurl and deliver their flavour. Each teabag also has an innovative clip to hold it in place on your cup or mug while brewing and is individually wrapped in an aroma protection sachet for perfect freshness.

Ginger and Herbs Loose-Leaf Herbal Tea

Our Ginger and Herbs herbal tea is a soothing infusion and one of our favourites! The combination of ginger, lemongrass, liquorice, chamomile, black pepper, vervain, cinnamon and rose petals create a cleansing and restorative tea. The tea promotes wellness, balance and calm and naturally enlivens you from the inside out.

Camomile Blossoms Organic Loose-Leaf Herbal Tea

Nothing beats a classic, pure-herb tea, and camomile has to be one of the best. Our organic Camomile Blossoms are whole (no dust!) and full of mild flavour and aroma. Thanks to its calming properties, this classic herbal tea is perfect for anyone who needs to relax and unwind.

How to Infuse Herbal Teas

Herbal teas are very forgiving when it comes to brewing. However, we still suggest that you check each packet for instructions because while Rooibos will never get bitter, even if over-brewed, herbs like fennel can get bitter if over-steeped.

Our wellness teas are great hot, but we also like to brew them to cool and refrigerate, making them a great refreshing drink.
