Alpine herbal tea: an ideal selection of leaves, roots and fruits
Are you more of an invigorating bitter orange or a sweet and zen orange person? With this infusion, you no longer need to choose. You'll discover a clever balance between bitterness, sweetness, and freshness. Bitter orange, which is notably used to make bitter orange wine and essential oils, is a miracle straight from our grandmothers' kitchens. Carrot brings a round and generous taste, while mint leaves aerate and quench thirst. Ginger slightly enhances the infusion by delivering a subtle spicy note.
The benefits and virtues of the herbal tea
Orange (bitter or table), like lemon, is a daily household ingredient. There are numerous recipes using the fruit, flowers, or orange leaves, such as the famous orange-cinnamon blend, so typical of Christmas. And it's not for nothing that we love this fruit so much: rich in vitamin C and antioxidants (flavonoids), this juicy citrus fruit is perfect for body and face care (especially for skin and hair). This natural and organic herbal tea will quickly become your best ally for slimming and health, and that's priceless!
