Seasonal Sampler

This selection of seasonal infusions is a great way to sample some Homegrown tisanes and find balance with the season. Spring is a time of year when a focus on cleansing the body and calming Pitta energy helps us shed the overabundance of winter ama, and avoid spring colds and allergies that tend to be common this time of year. Foods and herbs that encourage flow and purify the blood, in particular those having a tonic effect on the liver, are found naturally in abundance in our spring greens and early crops like asparagus, kale, dandelion and nettles. Homegrown's Spring steeps celebrate herbs and spices meant to invigorate and nourish, prepping the soil for a fabulous and healthy summer.  Happy equinox and enjoy!
