Spicy & Sweet

By Robert Frost

O hushed October morning mild,

Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;

Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild, Should waste them all.

The crows above the forest call;

Tomorrow they may form and go.

O hushed October morning mild,

Begin the hours of this day slow.

Pukka Herbs

Vanilla Chai

The Brand

Pukka Herbs was created in 2001 and they lean heavily into remaining true to the herbs and traditions, as well as organic farming, fair trade and conservation through commerce.

The Tea

This is a non-traditional chai, without black tea in it. It is a combination of spices you know and love in a good chai: Cinnamon bark, ginger root, licorice root, sweet fennel seed, cardamom pod, and vanilla flavors. Robust and Spicy!

Wicked Blueberry

Wicked Leaf Organic

The Brand

This company is located in Topsham,

Maine, so they know a good berry tea!

They also produce coffee, and are proud of their fair trade and organic offerings.

The Tea

In a black tea base, this berry and calendula tea is deep and lively.

Stash Tea

Orange Spice

The Brand

Stash has chosen to organize as a B Corp. This means that while they are trying to create delicious teas, they are also trying to create a better world. Learn more about B Corps here. This is a lovely black tea with orange, cinnamon, and clove flavors. It packs a caffeinated punch, and provide a really seasonal flavor combination that will have you forgetting all about pumpkin spice.

Sacred Health Tea

The Brand

We decided to snag a spot this month - this tea is from us! We are a Childbirth Collective in Des Moines, IA, we can't help but enjoy a good cuppa.

The Tea

An all herbal Ayurvedic blend of Cumin, Coriander and Fennel, a little Cinnamon rounds this tea out to perfection.

Make the Best Cup

Are you interested in a stronger tea? Longer steeping time is not the answer. When you steep tea for longer (or worse, leave the tea bag in the cup while you drink it) it releases tannins which make your tea very bitter. Strong tea is made by using more tea, not more time. Care about your water. Use fresh, filtered water every time you brew. Tea loves oxygen, and when we use fresh water every time, we give tea an oxygen rich environment to steep in.

Consider storage carefully. Tea is highly hygroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture from the air, and can take on scents from its surroundings. So keep it in a dry, airtight container, away from strong fragrances.

About Sabbath

Hi there! I'm the owner of Sacred Health, a Labor and Delivery Nurse, an Ayurvedic Practitioner, and a Birth Trauma Resolution Therapist. I'm also the curator of the Sacred Health Monthly Tea Subscription.

I believe in the healing powers of one person preparing and serving a steaming cup of tea to another person.

Regardless of what's in that cup, it represents love, empathy, caring, and nurturing that cannot be easily duplicated through any other action. And that's why finding the best new teas for you every month remains my passion.
