Our Herbal Teas (or Tisanes)
Blue Skys Farm Herbal Teas…really we should call them TISANES…
As defined by Merriam Webster:
an infusion (as of dried herbs) used as a beverage or for medicinal effects
“Herbal tea isn’t really made from tea-which is a specific kind of plant. The French use the word tisane, which is a little more accurate, since herbal tea is really just an infusion of leaves, seeds, roots or bark, extracted in hot water. In drinking a well-steeped herbal tea, we get all the plant’s benefits in an easily digestible form.” (source)
Blue Skys Offers 1 oz bags (which makes 15 cups) of:
- Peppermint
- Spearmint
- Lemon Balm
- Chamomile
- Nettle
- Ashwagandha
- Blue Hyssop
Come visit us Saturday at the Pawtucket Wintertime Farmers Market. Our sample this week is Spearmint and Ashwagandha.
