Why Choose Herbal Tea?

Herbal teas are made from a variety of plants—leaves, flowers, roots, and seeds—that are naturally caffeine-free and packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Unlike traditional teas made from the Camellia sinensis plant, herbal teas offer a broad range of flavors and healing benefits that can support digestion, calm the mind, boost immunity, and ev

en help you sleep better.

At Ignis Moon, we blend organic herbs with care, ensuring every sip brings nourishment and calm to your day.

Common Healing Herbs and Their Benefits

Lemon Balm

Known for its gentle, lemony flavor, lemon balm is a natural relaxant. It’s great for reducing stress and anxiety, promoting restful sleep, and even soothing digestive discomfort.

Nettle Leaf

A powerhouse of nutrients, nettle is rich in vitamins A, C, K, and minerals like iron and calcium. It supports overall wellness, boosts energy, and is often used as a natural anti-inflammatory.

Holy Basil (Tulsi)

Holy basil is revered in Ayurvedic tradition for its ability to balance stress hormones and support the immune system. Its slightly spicy, clove-like flavor makes it a wonderful addition to calming blends.

Rosehips

Packed with vitamin C, rosehips help strengthen immunity and promote healthy skin. Their tart, fruity flavor brightens up any tea blend.

Dandelion Root

Often used to support liver health and detoxification, dandelion root has an earthy, slightly bitter taste. It also aids digestion and acts as a gentle diuretic.

How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Herbal Tea

1. Use Fresh, Quality Herbs: For the best flavor and benefits, use organic, high-quality herbs like those in our blends or single-herb offerings.

2. Measure Your Herbs: About 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried herbs per 8-ounce cup is a good rule of thumb.

3. Use Hot, Not Boiling Water: Heat your water to just under boiling (about 200°F or 93°C) to preserve delicate flavors and nutrients.

4. Steep Time: Most herbal teas benefit from a longer steep—5 to 10 minutes. Cover your cup or pot to keep the heat in.

5. Strain and Enjoy: Use a fine mesh strainer or infuser to remove herbs. Sip slowly and savor the calming moment.
