What’s in the tea?

Hobbit Tea Time has a red rooibos base. Red rooibos tea is antioxidant-rich and good for the body in many ways, including digestion and skin. Roasted dandelion root complements the nutty, caramel-like essence of the rooibos tea. I chose Rama tulsi for its sweet earthiness and its calming benefits.  Tulsi is a mild and safe adaptogen that is considered to be safe for any season of life. It’s a recalibrating herb, bringing a feeling of calm to the nervous system. Cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, and cacao nibs add flavor and depth. A pinch of hibiscus and safflower petals ties together the nourishing herbals and warm spices of this blend with a delicate sweetness. This tea holds up well to the addition of milk or cream and, in our opinion, a bit of honey makes it perfect. This tea is a good caffeine-free coffee alternative.

Gingersnaps not required but highly recommended.
