Blender’s Notes: A lightly colored infusion of delicate new growth tea leaves, and subtle citrus notes. White tea grown here on our certified Biodynamic farm is used in this special blend. Naturally lightly-caffeinated.
Remember when ordering loose teas, that there are approximately 200 servings per pound (or that 1 oz. of loose leaf tea or tisane makes 15-25 servings)
EDUCATIONAL INFO. FOR "Enlightened White"
White Tea Leaves and Buds: White tea is packed with polyphenols, which have antioxidant benefits. They help reduce chronic inflammation by protecting the body against damage from free radicals.
Tangerine: Tangerines can help maintain a healthy blood pressure. Tangerines are packed with potassium and a low content of sodium.
Orange: The antioxidant vitamin C, when eaten in its natural form (as in an orange) or applied topically, can help to fight skin damage caused by the sun and pollution, reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin texture. Vitamin C plays a vital role in the formation of collagen, the support system of your skin.
Lotus Petal: Stress Lotus flower tea is relaxing, soothing, sedative, and helps with anxiety… and bringing about a peaceful feeling.

Blender’s Notes: This is a Mango and Citrus Green Tea, with a Sri Lankan Biodynamic base that was hand- blended to completion with the intent of supporting generation of everything from fresh ideas to healthy new cells. It’s all happening in this 2nd Chakra center….we hope you feel inspired!
Remember when ordering loose teas, that there are approximately 200 servings per pound (or that 1 oz. of loose leaf tea or tisane makes 15-25 servings)
EDUCATIONAL INFO. FOR "Happy Spleen Green"
Green Tea: Compounds in green tea can improve brain function and make you smarter.
Orange: The fiber, potassium, vitamin C and choline content in oranges all support heart health.
Apple: Apples contain pectin, a type of fiber that acts as a prebiotic. This means it feeds the good bacteria in your gut.
Pear: Fighting free radicals, pears contain high levels of antioxidants, including vitamin C and K, and copper. These chemicals mop up free radicals, protecting our cells from the damage they can cause.
Mango: Mango is low in calories yet high in nutrients — particularly vitamin C, which aids immunity, iron absorption and growth and repair.
Rose hips: Preliminary research indicates that rose hip may help prevent type 2 diabetes, particularly in people with risk factors such as obesity and high blood pressure.
Hibiscus: Interestingly, studies have shown that hibiscus may promote liver health and help keep it working efficiently.
Calendula: There are also some anti-spasmodic properties of calendula that are also taken advantage of by many people. If you suffer from a nervous system disorder, have painful cramping in relation to menstruation or some other type of spasmodic condition, adding calendula to your diet may be beneficial.

Blender’s Notes: This fine tea is such a nice compliment at the end of a meal. Mildly minty and paired with sweet chocolate notes from the cacao nibs. This tasty Assam-based tea is a real “picker-upper”, and is one of our favorites in the afternoon when we need a little lift. (YUM!).
Remember when ordering loose teas, that there are approximately 200 servings perpound (or that 1 oz. of loose leaf tea or tisane makes 15-25 servings)

Blender’s Notes: This tisane was originally blended as a Father’s Day gift for Angela’s Blueberry-farming Dad, Bob. Creamy and fresh. Rooibos base. Tastes like a fresh blueberry scone. Naturally Caffeine-free.
Remember when ordering loose teas, that there are approximately 200 servings perpound (or that 1 oz. of loose leaf tea or tisane makes 15-25 servings)
EDUCATIONAL INFO. FOR "Blueberry Blessing"
Red Rooibos: Rooibos tea contains vital minerals including calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and alpha hydroxyl acid. As with most true teas and herbal teas, it also contains high levels of vitamin C along with powerful antioxidants such as aspalathin that offer extensive health benefits.
Blueberry: The blueberry is a very popular berry. It is low in calories but high in fiber, vitamin C and vitamin K.
Cornflower: The plant’s medicinal value lies primarily in its anti-inflammatory properties. Taken internally as an herbal tea, it is thought to aid in soothing stomach ulcers, while rinsing with the tea is used to speed the healing of sores or bleeding gums in the mouth.
Vanilla Bean Extract: The vanillin found in vanilla extract may have cholesterol-lowering benefits, according to a study published in 2013 in the "Indian Journal of Experimental Biology."

Matcha, is a product that we could grow here at Light of Day Organics (because Tea is one of the botanicals that we grow) but we do not currently own the equipment necessary to de-vein or to grind the Tencha leaf into a fine powder within the laboratory setting it requires. Therefore, we rely on other certified organic farmers around the globe to grow and process this remarkable product for us. Because of concerns in the news lately re. radiation and heavy metal contamination, each batch of Matcha and the soils they are grown in are tested thoroughly to ensure that we are all enjoying the highest quality, safest matcha available to us today! We hope that you enjoy this product as much as we do!
