Herbal teas and seasons: which infusions to consume throughout the year?

Each season has its own rhythm. Adapting your herbal tea consumption to the different times of the year allows you not only to fully enjoy the benefits of plants, but also to meet the body's needs in a natural and targeted way.

Whether it's for hydration, detoxification, boosting immunity or simply warming up, there's actually an infusion for every time of the year. Betjeman & Barton offers you a sensory journey through the seasons, for tastings under the sign of pleasure and well-being.

Spring, a season of detox and renewal

Spring symbolizes both the awakening of nature and that of our body. It is the ideal period to gently eliminate toxins and boost vital energy, after the excesses of winter.

Among the essential plants of spring, we find in particular:

● Rosemary, which is both toning and purifying

● Peppermint, an excellent ally for light digestion and fresh breath

Here are our recommendations for spring:

● “Tisane des Rêveuses Bio” is a soothing blend of fennel, anise, lemongrass and lavender, perfect for irresistible cocooning moments after a long winter.

● “Tisane des Beaux Jours”, a recipe created in the manner of a Proustian madeleine to welcome the beautiful season with sweetness and pleasure. Apple, peach, rhubarb, verbena, hibiscus flowers, rosehip peels: it combines orchard fruits and floral notes to evoke the same emotion as a childhood memory with each tasting.

Summer, between desire for freshness and need for hydration

As soon as summer returns, the sun and heat are likely to tire the body. It becomes essential to hydrate throughout the day, thanks to healthy and natural drinks such as light infusions. Good news: herbal teas can also be enjoyed iced to refresh you easily!

Hibiscus and lemon balm are among the best plants to face the summer heat according to the rules of the art. On the one hand, hibiscus is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. On the other hand, lemon balm helps fight stress and sleep disorders with its natural calming action.

Here are our recommendations for summer:

● The “Verger” fruit infusion offers a sunny taste experience. This fruity blend of hibiscus flowers, orange, apple, peach, pear and strawberry leaves an intense freshness in the mouth with each cup savored.

● “Orange Blossom” herbal tea promises well-being and serenity through the harmonious association of orange blossom with elderflower, linden and chamomile.

Autumn, the time for immune boosting

A season of transition par excellence, autumn is the most suitable time of year to prepare your body for winter by stimulating its natural defenses. Faced with falling temperatures, drinking an infusion is an excellent option to warm up and feel good, naturally. We have already suggested our favorite teas for autumn, now it's time for herbal teas.

Several plants are particularly popular from September to December:

● Linden is appreciated for its calming effects, particularly in cases of insomnia or nervousness. It also supports the body's natural defenses.

● Verbena is recognized for its soothing properties, which help to combat daily stress.

Here are our recommendations for autumn:

● “Tisane du Berger”, an old-fashioned drink best enjoyed in the evening. It brilliantly combines flavors of linden, verbena, mint, lemongrass and orange blossom, for perfect harmony in the mouth.

● “Tilleul” herbal tea is an infusion with a sweet honey scent to be savored in autumn, accompanied by the delicacy of your choice for increased pleasure.

Winter, a period of warmth and protection

Among the seasons of the year, winter invites cocooning and relaxation. And in this context, comforting and spicy infusions are precious allies for getting through the winter season with greater serenity.

Ginger and cinnamon are star plants in seasonal herbal teas. While the first two contribute to stimulating the body, linden reduces stress and improves sleep.

Here are our recommendations for winter:

● The “Cocoa Orange Spice” infusion is both rich and fragrant. It brings warmth and comfort throughout the winter, thanks to the blend of Guatemalan cocoa beans with natural aromas of orange, anise, ginger and cinnamon.

● “Christmas Herbal Tea” offers deliciously fragrant cups with warm notes of rosehip, verbena, cinnamon, almond and ginger.
