We've got your elixir. Raspberry Lemon Verbena combines the juiciness of dried raspberry with the potency of luxury lemon verbena - both noted by spiritualists for their love-inducing properties. In ancient Rome, Lemon Verbena was said to ignite the flames of passion within lovers. Subsequently it found favor as an ingredient in a popular love potion, used during the ancient rites of Aphrodite. During the Middle Ages, Raspberries, for their part, were said to invoke the energy of the blood, facilitating the flow of love and kindness through the body. Put them together and we can't say where your love will go. What we can say, is that the bright citrusy burst of Lemon Verbena happens to pair exceedingly well with the tart sweetness of raspberry. Blended here with an additional assortment of herbs, fruit pieces and flower petals, these two powerhouses help produce a naturally caffeine-free cup that brightens the mind, lifts the body and inspires the spirit. The next time you're feeling like your life could use an infusion of love, this is the tea to reach for. Fragrant, refreshing and packed with antioxidants and vitamins, your body is going to say "I love you" with every sip. IDEAL BREWING TEMPERATURE: 100ºC/212ºF HOT BREWING METHOD:Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). ICED TEA BREWING METHOD (Individual Serving):Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoons of herbal tea or 1 tea bag into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the herbal tea. Cover and let steep for 5-10 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea or removing the bags. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving.
