A Cup of Zen is a new series I have begun on my blog. The following is The Cup of Life’s forth post for the series featuring Buddha Teas. Buddha Teas is a tea company based around the idea of using natural herbs and teas to promote wellness in all areas of life, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
We are passionate about the soothing therapeutic effect a good cup of tea can have, and are committed to offering only the purest tea possible by using organic and wildcraft herbs and tea leaves. Our tea selection offers more than 100 all-natural teas, and now we are introducing our own exclusive line of Chakra Teas. Our Chakra Tea line features seven tea blends expertly crafted from herbs that resonate with each chakra, and each blend has been infused with the essence of powerful crystals. This helps you to reconnect with your chakras and experience inner balance, all while enjoying a refreshing moment with a flavorful blend of herbal tea.
I’ve been a writer for Buddha Teas for nearly two years now, and in that time, I’ve gone from being a tea novice to a daily tea devotee. The subtlety involved in tea brewing fascinates me – how the quality of the leaf or herb, the temperature, steeping time and even the source of your water can profoundly impact your experience every time you bring a cup to your lips.Though I have many tea moments to offer, one of the strongest in my memory is the first time I sampled our Solar Plexus Chakra Tea. Serenity is hard to come by in an office setting, but if anything can inspire tranquility and positive feelings, it would be a fresh cup of tea. Seated at my desk, I opened the package and was awakened to the fresh aroma of rosemary. I was instantly reminded of walking through my herb garden, where I have a rosemary bush that gives off a powerful aroma at the slightest touch. The inviting fragrance made me eager to try the blend.
When the tea was ready, I took a moment to move away from my computer and allow myself time to savor the tea. With some of my favorite music playing in the background, I immersed myself in the tea, noting the herbal aroma before taking my first sip. The blend was a balanced harmony of sweet and savory herbs, with a subtle citrus accent. I wrote out my thoughts as I finished the tea, and when I had finished, I felt refreshed, focused and empowered, confident that I could handle anything the day would bring. Now, I look forward to trying the rest of the Chakra Teas, and discovering even more stimulating tea moments.
