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 not only allows you to fully enjoy the benefits of the 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 truly an infusion for every moment of the year. Betjeman & Barton invites you on a sensory journey through the seasons, for tastings focused on pleasure and well-being.

 

Spring, the season of detox and renewal

 

Spring symbolizes both the awakening of nature and that of our bodies. It therefore embodies the ideal time to eliminate toxins and gently boost vital energy after the excesses of winter.

 

Among the essential plants for spring are:

 

●       Rosemary, which is both invigorating and purifying

●       Peppermint, a perfect ally for easy digestion and fresh breath

 

Here are our recommendations for spring:

 

●       The “Organic Dreamers' Herbal Tea” is a soothing blend of fennel, anise, lemongrass and lavender, perfect for irresistible cozy moments after a long winter.

●       The “Beautiful Days Herbal Tea,” a recipe created like a Proustian madeleine to welcome the warmer seasons with sweetness and pleasure. Apple, peach, rhubarb, verbena, hibiscus flowers, rosehip peel: it combines orchard fruits and floral notes to evoke the same emotion as a childhood memory with every sip.

 

 

Summer: a time of wanting freshness and needing hydration

 

With the return of summer, the sun and heat can tire the body. Staying hydrated throughout the day becomes essential, thanks to healthy and natural drinks like light herbal teas. Good news: herbal teas can also be enjoyed iced for a simple and refreshing treat!

 

Hibiscus and lemon balm are among the best plants for coping with the summer heat. Hibiscus is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, while lemon balm helps combat stress and sleep disorders with its natural calming properties.

 

Here are our recommendations for the summer:

 

●       The "Orchard" fruit infusion offers a sunny taste experience. This fruity blend of hibiscus flowers, orange, apple, peach, pear, and strawberry leaves an intense freshness on the palate with every cup enjoyed.

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

 

Autumn, the time to boost your immune system

 

Autumn, the quintessential season of transition, is the ideal time of year to prepare your body for winter by boosting its natural defenses. With temperatures dropping, drinking herbal tea is an excellent way to warm up and feel good, naturally.

 

Several plants are particularly popular from September to December:

 

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

●       Verbena is known for its calming properties, which help to combat daily stress.

 

Here are our recommendations for autumn:

 

●       "Shepherd's Herbal Tea," a drink with an old-fashioned taste, best enjoyed in the evening. It brilliantly combines the flavors of linden, verbena, mint, lemongrass, and orange blossom for perfect harmony on the palate.

●       The “Linden” herbal tea is an infusion with a sweet honey scent to be enjoyed in the heart of autumn, accompanied by the treat of your choice for tenfold pleasure.

 

 

Winter, a time of warmth and protection

 

Of all the seasons, winter invites us to cozy up and relax. And in this context, comforting and spicy herbal teas are invaluable allies for getting through the winter season with greater serenity.

 

Ginger and cinnamon are star ingredients in seasonal herbal teas. While the former two help to stimulate the body, linden reduces stress and improves sleep.

 

Here are our recommendations for winter:

 

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

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