“Our favorite iced tea, in our favorite ice tea pitcher, both from our favorite tea shop! Summer produce from our garden.”

“In April, I entered a contest sponsored by AMP Concerts, called Art as Antibodies, an art contest in response to the pandemic--and my entry won a staff pick and a gift certificate to NM Tea Company! So excited to pick out my prize-winning tea from this company I'd never tried before.”

“Mountain bike mug I made with a tray full of Vintage Earl Grey in the backyard.”

Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil, is an excellent tonic for the mind, body and spirit. It has been used in ancient Ayurvedic practice as an adaptogen. Adaptogens are herbs containing properties that help you adapt to and increase your endurance to stress (both physical and mental). The ritual of drinking this tea is just as much a part of my yogic practice as meditation, pranayama, and asanas. I like to add a few rose petals and honey to the brew to add a little lightness and sweetness to tulsi's strong flavor. It's important to find ways to increase our grit and stamina in these times of collective stress, so that we can continue the work of building a better world.

“Milk Oolong is one of my favorite teas to pair with sweets! Even though I live in Minneapolis and shop at local tea stores, I still have to have my NM Tea Co fix every once in a while :)”
