On a hot summer day, you may be inclined to reach for a cold drink, but take a moment to imagine the comfort of a cup of hot herbal tea in an air-conditioned room, the heat spreading down your throat and into your stomach.
Warm tisanne in summer
The herbal culture nurtured in the rich natural environment of Europe has wisdom that allows it to be a part of daily life regardless of the season. My Cup of Tea's tisanne uses this traditional method while also being made with recipes suited to modern life.
Whether your body is tired from the summer heat or chilled by air conditioning, a cup of warm herbal tea will gently envelop you. Herbs are hand-blended in small batches, and deliver a fresh aroma and the rich flavor of the bounty of nature itself.
Three recommended tisannes for summer
1. Thyme & Marjoram
The powerful scent of marjoram, thyme, and peppermint will refresh your head that has become fuzzy in the summer heat. The fresh and refreshing scent will make you feel as if you are in the forest. Try taking a deep breath while holding a warm cup in your hand in an air-conditioned room.
2.Chamomile & Lavender
A gentle chamomile-based blend that will soothe your summer fatigue. Even on hot summer nights when the days are hot and you tend to have shallow sleep, a cup of warm chamomile tea will help you fall into a peaceful sleep.
3. Orange Blossom & Verbena
The combination of lemon verbena and orange blossom is a summer classic, but drinking it warm brings out a deeper aroma. This drink will warm your body from the inside out after a chill from the air conditioning, while the refreshing aftertaste will refresh your mouth, allowing you to fully enjoy the charms of a warm summer tisanne.
A new summer habit
It's especially during the hot summer that we choose to eat warm foods. Not only does it improve our physical condition, it also gives us time to take a breather from our hectic daily lives.
My Cup of Tea's Tisanne is the perfect new summer habit. The name "Tisanne," which means herbal tea in French, also seems to create a special moment.
This summer, why not try incorporating hot herbal tea into your life in addition to cold drinks? You're sure to find a new way to enjoy summer.
