AUGUST TEA NOTES

August 2020

Happy August friends! How was your July? Mine flew by, which I wasn't too mad about since 2020 has felt like a long year! I am ready to embrace August and everything it brings! Are you?? Are you going back to school or taking your home office back to a physical work space? Are you still enjoying either of those virtually? Either way, we have some great products for you to enjoy while you're soaking up those summer feels, or gearing back up for school. Check them out below!👇

Tea Blend of the Month: Ginger Orchard Medley + White Peach

GINGER ORCHARD MEDLEY is blended with dark oolong tea, chamomile, apples, peaches, lemon myrtle, ginger and natural flavors. This bold oolong with orchard fruit notes is reminiscent of fruit stands in the valleys of New Mexico! It has bright fruit flavor, subtle floral notes, and a ginger spice kick!

WHITE PEACH is blended with white tea, peach pieces, marigold flowers, and natural flavors. Enjoying a cup of White Peach is similar to sipping on a juicy, sun-ripened peach - it is vibrant, sweet, and fresh!

Spice of the Month: Hickory Smoked Sea Salt

Our HICKORY SMOKED SEA SALT is a blend of sea salt flavored with natural liquid smoke.

Use Hickory Smoked Sea Salt for barbecuing red meats, fish, or poultry, for smoking foods and flavoring stews, or to make a smoky sea salt rim on a Bloody Mary! Also, try out our BLOODY MARY MIX. 🍅 

Check out our recipe below for grilled or pan seared steaks seasoned with the Hickory Smoked Sea Salt.

Essential Oil Blend of the Month: Peppermint & Lemongrass

When blended together, PEPPERMINT and LEMONGRASS essential oils have a crisp mint aroma that is softened by delicate citrus tones. This blend is perfect for August, as some of us are hopefully returning to school and work! It is best used for invigorating and enlivening the senses, promoting healthy respiratory function, soothing an upset stomach, promoting digestive health, relieving headaches, soothing stress, heightening awareness, and promoting feelings of well-being.

 

We love blending these two together in equal parts in a diffuser or on our ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER BRACELETS. Caitlin and Jocelyn of our Ruidoso and Cloudcroft stores also created a lip balm with these two oils! Check out the recipe for it below!👇

THE PERFECT LIP BALM

I hope your August is full of sunshine and many enjoyable moments as we finish the second half of summer! We hope to see you in one of our stores or online soon to check out some of these products we're loving this month!
