I'm thrilled to share with you something we've been working on the last few months has finally come to fruition and that is our brand new tea - Radiance!
You may have seen my Instagram stories that I've been sharing since September with our taste-testing adventures. It took 3 or 4 versions until we found the right balance of flavour and health benefits. I'm joyous to share that we nailed it. This tea is light and earthy with a perfect blend of herbs to nourish your body and help you glow from the inside out!
Just like all of our teas, we use only organic ingredients, that are functional and serve a purpose. No weird stuff or junk.
My goal with this tea was to create a blend that served a purpose and that is, to be beneficial for skin health with super nourishing ingredients. I have rosacea and that was always in the back of my mind - to create a tea that is anti-inflammatory, antioxidant-rich, and contains herbs that support skin cells.
The base of this tea is green and white tea. It's the first time we've had a lightly caffeinated tea as all three of our other teas are caffeine-free.
There are many benefits to the ingredients in our new tea that go beyond skin health. These are some key ingredients in our new Radiance Tea that support whole-body health.
Rich in minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium, nettle provides a variety of nutrients for whole-body health. The anti-inflammatory compounds may help prevent inflammatory based conditions of the skin. It’s a natural diuretic which may help the body shed excess water.
A plant that has been praised for centuries due to its medicinal properties and healing benefits for the skin. Super rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients, moringa nourishes gut health and it’s the unsung hero of skincare. As well, it's a source of vitamin A and C—both skin heroes—plus anti-inflammatory quercetin and blood sugar balancing chlorogenic acid.
An antioxidant powerhouse, rose helps to strengthen and protect skin cells. Traditional cultures have been using rose for digestive wellness for centuries. The key to glowing from the inside out is a healthy digestive system.
I love sipping this tea in the early mornings or after lunch with a Chocolate Chip Collagen Snowball or a Sexy Maca Ball - a sweet and joyous treat!
The taste of this tea is sophisticated but you don't have to be royalty to enjoy it! It is blended and handcrafted by The Honest Leaf - a local Toronto-based tea company that makes all of our joyous teas!
Please note a few important points About Radiance tea
- Do not pour boiling water over the tea. Let the water boil and then sit for a couple of minutes. Boiling water should not be used with green and white tea because it makes it taste bitter.
- Use 2 tsp of loose leaf tea per cup for 3 to 5 minutes for the best taste.
- Speak to your healthcare practitioner if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before drinking this tea.

I'm excited to hear what you think about this tea. I hope you love it as much as I do!
