Much as we might like to believe otherwise, winter is not yet over. Central Ohio, where we live, is staring down a winter storm warming capable of 2-4 inches of snow tonight. Cold days, and the sniffles that come with them, often continue right into spring.

As soon as we come inside from chilly chores, we start water boiling for tea. Tea warms us from the inside out and supports health. Further, the routine of drinking tea while reading or talking with eachother allows a moment of repose or calm connection in the middle of busy days.

Traditional Medicinals recently provided a set of teas for us to try. Lil loved reading the cards provided in the sample set about how different herbs can relieve common non-serious conditions. I love that their teas are organic and free of artificial dyes and colorants. They taste like fresh herbs from my backyard.
