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

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

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

Spring, the season of detox and renewal

Spring symbolizes the awakening of nature as much as that of our bodies. It's 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 toning and purifying

● Peppermint, a great ally for light digestion and fresh breath

Here are our recommendations for spring:

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

● The " Tisane des Beaux Jours ", a recipe created like 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 sip.

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 hydrate throughout the day, with healthy and natural drinks like 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 artfully. 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 delicious cup.

● 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 immune strengthening

A transitional season 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.

Several plants are particularly popular from September to December:

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

● Verbena is known for its soothing properties, which help fight daily stress.

Here are our recommendations for autumn:

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

● The " Linden " herbal tea is an infusion with a sweet honey scent to enjoy in autumn, accompanied by a treat of your choice for increased pleasure.

And regarding teas, here is our selection for autumn.

Winter, the 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 to get through the winter season with greater serenity.

Ginger and cinnamon are star plants 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 " Cocoa Orange Spice " infusion is both rich and fragrant. It brings warmth and comfort throughout winter, thanks to the blend of Guatemalan cocoa beans with natural aromas of orange, anise, ginger, and cinnamon.

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