The perfect kid drink: Herbal Teas…..
You can rest assured that there is absolutely no caffeine, sweeteners, flavourings, preservatives or colourings and no gluten either.
RED CHAI
The Red Chai tea is a delicious caffeine-free chai tea made with Rooibos, the South African red bush plant. Rooibos, the base for this Chai, is a native plant of South Africa. When the leaves of the plant are sun-dried, they turn a reddish brown colour, which gives Rooibos its name. It has a high antioxidant content, is high in vitamin C and mineral salts.
Mixed with the subtle flavours of Fennel and the chai spices of Cinnamon, ginger, cardamom pods, peppercorns and cloves, this is a refreshing chai drink. Enjoy as a tea or as a chai latte. As with all Chai teas, Red Chai is digestive as the spices will stimulate the bile juices.
Ingredients: Organic Rooibos (caffeine-free), fennel, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom pods, peppercorns & Ginger.
GOODNIGHT TEA
The herbs I have blended in this tea will help to settle a busy mind and restlessness at night. The herb Skullcap helps to calm over stimulated adrenal glands which is the cause of the restlessness. The Chamomile will help to calm and settle the tummy and Lemon Balm and Passionflower a relaxing and sedative. Safe for all ages, this is a tea to help get a good night sleep.

CALM KIDS TEA
A relaxing bedtime herbal tea for the whole family – especially for young children who are restless and unsettled at night-time. The herb Spearmint is delicious and can ease digestion issues, especially if it is a “stressed tummy”. Spearmint combines well with the creamy honey flavour of Calendula and the calming and relaxing effect of Chamomile. This is a tea that can help to settle young children with a warm CALM tea after bath time for a relaxing, no-fuss bedtime. This tea can help with children during the day who are excitable and anxious to sooth and nourish the adrenal glands.

LICORICE TEA
Children with a sweet tooth enjoy this tea. I have blended Tulsi (Holy Basil) with Licorice root to help with blood sugar levels so it can be helpful for children who are dealing with diabetes.
With the flavours and digestive benefits of Fennel and Aniseed, this tea has lots of flavour and is very therapeutic. This tea can help with digestive issues, such as bloating, indigestion and tummy aches. It can also help with children who crave sweet foods and replace sugary drinks.

This tea is delicious either hot or cold and makes a great drink for young tea drinkers to take to school in their drink bottle. Therapeutically, Lemon Myrtle is helpful for the upper respiratory system and has been known to help with sinus problems, bronchitis and a sore throat. Lemon Balm is a calming and relaxing herb and Lemongrass is a cooling herb that can help with high temperatures and fever. This tea is ideal as a hot winter infusion or as an iced tea in summer.

MINT MAGIC TEA
Peppermint & Spearmint
A common question from customers is “what is the difference between Spearmint & Peppermint?”. There is a difference and the most distinct therapeutic difference is the menthol level ( Peppermint has 40% menthol and Spearmint has .05% menthol composition) However, they have many of the same benefits. This is a tea that can help with headaches, fatigue and stress. Peppermint and Spearmint can also help with digestive issues like nausea, flatulence and hiccups by relaxing the stomach muscles.

ACTIVE KIDS TEA
This is the ideal tea for active children who play lots of sport because it can support a growing body and help their immune system to minimise illness.
Calendula is a wound healing herb so not only is it a preventative, but can assist with injuries. Marshmallow root can help with upper respiratory issues like sore throat and coughing while Olive Leaf, which is anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, can help to stimulate the immune system.
Yarrow has an amazing history. It is anti-inflammatory, digestive, wound healing, fights infection and has been known to reduce scarring. It’s use by the military throughout history has earnt it the name the “Soldiers herb”. Just the herb to use in a tea for little warriors.
