Herbal teas and seasons: which infusions should you 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 plants, but also to meet the body's needs in a natural and targeted manner.
Whether it's to hydrate, detoxify, boost your immunity, or simply warm up, there's an infusion for every time of year. Betjeman & Barton offers a sensory journey through the seasons, with tastings focused on pleasure and well-being.
Spring, the season of detox and renewal
Spring symbolizes both the awakening of nature and the awakening of our bodies. It is the ideal time 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 invigorating and purifying
● Peppermint, an ideal ally for easy digestion and fresh breath
Here are our recommendations for spring:
● “ Organic Dreamers’ Herbal Tea ” is a soothing blend of fennel, anise, lemongrass and lavender, perfect for irresistible cocooning moments after a long winter.
● “ Tisane des Beaux Jours ” (Tisane for Beautiful Days) is a recipe created in the style of a Proust madeleine to welcome the beautiful season 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 each taste.
Summer, between the desire for freshness and the need for hydration
As soon as summer returns, the sun and heat can tire the body. It becomes essential to stay hydrated throughout the day, thanks to healthy and natural drinks like light infusions. Good news: herbal teas can also be consumed iced for a simple refreshment!
Hibiscus and lemon balm are among the best plants for properly battling the summer heat. Hibiscus, on the one hand, is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. Lemon balm, on the other hand, helps combat stress and sleep disturbances with its natural calming properties.
Here are our recommendations for 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 savored.
● 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 for strengthening the immune system
A transitional season par excellence, autumn is the best time of year to prepare your body for winter by boosting its natural defenses. With temperatures dropping, drinking an infusion is an excellent option for warming up and feeling good, naturally.
Several plants are particularly popular from September to December:
● THE 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 soothing properties, which help combat daily stress.
Here are our recommendations for fall:
● “ Tisane du Berger ” is a drink with a taste of yesteryear, best enjoyed in the evening. It brilliantly combines flavors of linden, verbena, mint, lemongrass, and orange blossom, for a perfect harmony on the palate.
● “ Linden ” herbal tea is an infusion with a sweet honey scent to be enjoyed in the middle of autumn, accompanied by the delicacy of your choice for tenfold pleasure.
Winter, a time of warmth and protection
Among the seasons of the year, winter invites cocooning and relaxation. And in this context, comforting and spicy infusions are valuable allies for getting through the winter season with greater serenity.
Ginger and cinnamon are star herbs in seasonal herbal teas. While the first two help stimulate the body, linden reduces stress and improves sleep.
Here are our recommendations for winter:
● The “ Orange Spice Cocoa ” infusion is both rich and fragrant. It brings warmth and comfort throughout the winter, thanks to the blend of Guatemalan cocoa beans with natural flavors of orange, anise, ginger, and cinnamon.
● The “ Christmas Herbal Tea ” offers deliciously fragrant cups with warm notes of rosehip, verbena, cinnamon, almond and ginger.
