Summer travel and vacation puts travel bags, luxury handbags and totes at the forefront of every store. But before you splurge on the latest style, consider another trendsetter…
This summer, the most fashionable travel accessory is not a travel bag.
It’s a tea bag.
So, before you pack the comfy pjs, the swimsuit and the sunscreen for your summer getaway, remember to tuck away your favorite (tea) bags from The Republic of Tea into whatever style carrier you already own.
The teas we have been adding to our travel bags recently are from our Beautifying Botanicals® collection.
Let’s begin with our Beauty Brain Lemon Balm Kiwi® tea…
Because who doesn’t need a natural herbal boost in brain power? Especially in the morning. And especially if you’re avoiding caffeine.
The blend has an impressive list of ingredients including lemon balm to promote calmness and alertness; ginkgo biloba, which may increase memory function; and blue spirulina to benefit both skin and cognitive health, is only one reason for choosing this sumptuous blend.*
Open the tin, and you will be instantly whisked back to your carefree childhood. This delicious and antioxidant-rich herbal infusion smells just like your favorite pink bubblegum. So, as you sip the delightful light-colored herbal, you can indulge in some reminiscences and receive all the benefits from the carefully selected botanicals.
Then there is the Clean Beauty Berry Aloe® tea.
The expression that sums it up is “clean freshness.”
This gentle, detoxing coral-hued herbal infusion contains a proprietary blend of botanicals that your skin and digestive system will love. Pamper your body with this clean, caffeine-free beauty tea ritual with delightful berry and citrus notes.
A touch of sweetener and a squeeze of lemon takes it from delicious to swoon-worthy, faster than you can say “sea buckthorn,” the rare berry that is the preeminent star of this exquisite tea blend.
Not only does it give the tea a beautiful coral hue, it provides a truly unique tart and fresh taste.
If you have ever seen buckthorn, you will know that the berry looks like a bright orange gem, as if the tiny tart fruit is bursting with early morning sunshine and vitamin C — the very thing for supple and glowing skin. If you happen upon buckthorn in the wild, though, make sure you check whether it’s the edible species before you pop one in your mouth - or tea cup.
The delicacy and rarity of the ingredients create a lighter beverage that can be enjoyed all day long. It is not only non-caffeinated but also hydrating and detoxing.*
Our Daily Beauty Blueberry Lavender® tea is another must-try.
Pour freshly boiled water into a clear glass tea cup or mug and watch as the water slowly turns darker with gentle purplish-red tendrils of color swirling downward every time you move your cup.
As the tea steeps, the intoxicating aroma of sweet blueberries wafts toward your nose. Inhale deeply to pick up the faint, green smell of calming lavender, and take note of the delicate liquid becoming duskier, almost amethyst in color.
Cut up a sunny lemon and drop a slice into your cup. The fragrance changes, taking on a brighter scent, as the color changes from purple to a lush pink.
Let your mind and body unwind as the herbal infusion delivers benefit after benefit to your system. Drink in the color of the collagen-promoting exotic blue butterfly pea flower and skin-protecting schizandra.*
Heading to bed? Try Beauty Sleep Chamomile Rose® tea.
This beautiful night-time concoction is a rich, magnificent purple - fit for royalty. Pour yourself a cup of this luxurious drink at bedtime and savor the soothing bouquet of calming chamomile and hydrating hibiscus. Feast your eyes on the intense lilac color of blue butterfly pea flowers. Add a splash of milk and watch the twirls of deep color become creamy and lull you to sleep.
Tantalizing taste, stress relief, wholesome nutrition and exquisite luxury - all in one little tea bag… Are we promising too much?
We don’t think so. Our goal is simple: we want to help you achieve what we call “Tea Mind®.” The calm, yet alert state in which you, too, can experience the perfection, the harmony, the natural serenity and the true aesthetic in every moment in every natural thing.
So, wherever you end up relaxing this summer: the beach, a log cabin in the woods, or even if you prefer a staycation, these exquisite teas ensure you enjoy both delicious flavors and benefits.*
Whichever flavor you choose, rest assured that The Republic of Tea sources only the finest quality ingredients from around the globe. And not only do you get a delicious cup you can savor any time of the day, you will also be reaping incredible benefits for your body, mind, brain and skin - just by enjoying one of our luxurious steeps.
All of the above mentioned blends can be found in our Beautifying Botanicals® Tea Assortment .
