I love both waking up and winding down with a warm cup of tea. It’s not only comfort in a cup, but it can also give a boost, promote relaxation, or offer nourishment – all depending on what’s in it. When it comes to what you steep, consider everything that is in your cup. Choose to sip what is good for your body and for the planet (it’s no surprise that the two are correlated).
