Organic Citrus Tea
Revitalize your senses with our Organic Citrus Tea Collection - a perfect way to infuse a bit of spring into your step. The journey begins with an invigorating aroma, followed by a sip that bursts with bright fruity flavors.
Supporting the delightful taste; the magic comes from the addition of fresh organic citrus zest, providing flavor balance and numerous hidden health benefits. Let’s explore more about this.
Health Benefits of Citrus Teas
Ever felt more relaxed after a sip of lemon water or lemon mint green tea? It’s no accident. Lemons and citrus fruits like oranges and yuzu contain essential oils in the zest. These aromatic oils have a soothing effect. According to a study in the Journal of Food Science and Technology (1), the citrus tea aroma triggers increased GABA production in the brain, creating a sedative-like effect—a phenomenon we like to call the "happy effect" health benefit.
GABA functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter or a "brake" for the brain. It slows down neuron activity, maintaining balance and preventing overexcitement. During a stressful busy day, savor the calming lemon tea benefits found in our organic citrus tea blends.
Beyond the "happy effect," citrus peel is a treasure trove of vitamin C and antioxidants (2). Take, for example, our Hot Spicy Cinnamon , enriched with orange peel, warming spices, and the goodness of orange spiced tea. For a playful twist, try our color-changing Yuzu Blue Passionfruit Herbal Tea—mix it into lemonade for an extra vitamin C boost!
