Organic Green Tea Recipe for Christmas
We love making tea blends for our friends and family to enjoy during the holidays. That’s how we started Tea of Light – preparing custom tea blends for loved ones.
This green tea recipe is called Merry and Bright. It’s a festive and happy Christmas tea. Green tea contains caffeine, so this is a great cup to have in the morning to set the tone for a wonderful day. This tea is fragrant, crisp, clean, fresh and pairs well with your favorite Christmas treat, as it cuts through the sweetness of baked goods.
Christmas wellness tea
Merry and Bright is like a cup of holiday wellness. It contains some of our favorite botanicals – both for their taste and for the wellness properties they are said to contain. It has organic green tea, organic mint, organic rose petals and organic rose hips.
Our green tea of choice is kukicha and that’s what we use in this tea recipe. Kukicha is made with the twigs and branches of the green tea plant. Japanese farmers sold the tea leaves and kept the branches and twigs for steep for themselves. There’s something about this that really appeals to us, the utilization of every part of the plant. Plus, it tastes great. If you’d like to taste an organic kukicha tea blend, try our best seller Arise AM.
A stolen moment for you
Enjoying this Christmas tea can be a moment just for you when you step away from the hectivity of the holidays. Set as your intention that as you enjoy the tea, you return to your center and let the rest of the world be for a few precious moments. As you give yourself this Love and care, your whole self will rejoice. This is especially important for those who take care of others.
Motivational message
At Tea of Light, it is our mission to uplift and inspire. Each one of our organic teas comes with a motivational message. Here are some inspirational words to contemplate as you savor the Christmas tea:
“May I be happy this holiday season.
May I rise to my best self.
May I be gentle with myself.
May I be a shining Light.
May the joy and Love in my heart illuminate and uplift everyone around me.”
