A Winter Wellness Tea Guide for the Cold, Dark Season
As the days grow shorter and the nights stretch long, we naturally reach for warmth, comfort, and ritual. December invites us inward—into our blankets, into our breath, and yes, into our mugs. It’s the season when tea becomes more than a drink. It becomes a way to soften the edges of winter, support our bodies, and tend to our spirits.
This year, we’re embracing a Winter Wellness Tea Guide rooted in some of the most popular herbs and blends of the season: ashwagandha, turmeric, tulsi, chamomile, and lavender. These botanicals aren’t just trending—they’re timeless companions for when the cold settles in.
Herbs for Winter Wellness
Ashwagandha — The Stress-Soother
A grounding adaptogen beloved for centuries, ashwagandha is a perfect winter ally. It’s known for supporting the nervous system, easing tension, and offering a gentle sense of resilience during the bustling holiday energy.
Turmeric — The Golden Warmer
Vibrant, earthy, and anti-inflammatory, turmeric continues to shine in winter blends. Paired with spices or florals, it offers warmth from the inside out and brings a sense of comfort to cold mornings.
Tulsi (Holy Basil) — The Sacred Ally
Tulsi is cherished for its balancing qualities—calming and uplifting at once. It supports immunity, the stress response, and emotional steadiness, making it an ideal herb for the dark, slow turn of December.
Chamomile & Lavender — The Nighttime Duo
These classics are more than cozy favorites. Chamomile and lavender help soothe the digestive system, quiet busy thoughts, and invite rest—exactly what our bodies crave as winter deepens.
Functional + Cozy Blends of the Season
We’ve built our winter offerings around blends that feel like soft scarves and glowing fireplaces—supportive, grounding, gently energizing, or deeply calming depending on what you need most.

Sip in the evening, or anytime you need a moment of peace that feels like a weighted blanket.
Tea as a Winter Ritual
Winter is a season of slowness, introspection, and restoration.
Tea supports all three.
Your cup can become a ritual—a pause in the day to soften your shoulders, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself.
A winter tea ritual might look like:
Lighting a candle before brewing
Choosing herbs that reflect the moment you’re in
Holding the warm mug with both hands
Breathing in the aroma before your first sip
Letting the act itself become a small daily ceremony
Whether you’re seeking immunity support, stress relief, restful sleep, or clarity of mind, your ritual can meet you there.
Rooted in Sustainability
Many of the organic herbs in these blends—especially the calming botanicals—are sourced from a small, sustainable farm in Southeast Utah. Supporting local growers means supporting ethical stewardship of the land, soil health, and harvesting practices that honor both the plants and the ecosystem they come from.
Every cup is a relationship—between us, the earth, and the people who care for these plants from seed to harvest.
Welcome to the Winter Cup
As the days shorten and the cold settles in, let your mug be a place of warmth, restoration, and intention.
This season, sip slowly. Sip deeply. Sip in a way that supports your body, your heart, and your winter rhythms.
