Keep reading to learn about our collaboration with Bea’s Wellness Teas, our new tea blends, and some extraordinary facts about herbs and spices.
How it Began
Each of the exclusive teas we now offer have been thoughtfully created by Adrienne Jones, the founder of Bea’s Wellness Teas. Her work celebrates the traditional herbal teas and culinary spices from organic farms around the world. Adrienne is a passionate tea entrepreneur who began using herbs for a personal journey of healing in 2016.
“When I first met Adrienne, I knew I wanted her to create some exclusive blends for Gardenuity. Her holistic approach to finding the perfect combination of flavors for each tea is extraordinary.” —Donna Letier, Gardenuity’s co-founder
Bea’s Wellness Teas, serves wellness by the cup. Each tea blend is made of the highest quality herbal fusions, made exclusively for Gardenuity in small batches. The wondrous balance of flavors provide exotic aromatic accents and will delight all of the senses.
How to Enjoy
These special tea blends can be enjoyed hot or cold by steeping 1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea in 6-8 oz of hot water for five minutes. Each tea can be infused straight or prepared with a touch of sugar to make a uniquely stimulating chai.
Adrienne shared with us that she starts each morning by enjoying one of her Sunrise Blend teas. She noted that tea can be enjoyed at any point in your day, but including it as a part of your morning ritual is fulfilling for your mind, body, and spirit.
