Organic Relaxing Herbal Infusion

This organic relaxing herbal infusion is crafted as a ritual of stillness. Eleven organic plants and spices come together in the cup to create a Ayurvedic herbal blend that is rounded, subtly sweet, and deeply soothing.

This artisan recipe draws on the tradition of calming blends, where each plant plays its own role. Explore our other organic Ayurvedic herbal infusions to continue the journey.

The aromatic profile of this herbal infusion

On the top notes, Ceylon cinnamon and clove unfold immediate spiced warmth, supported by a gently pungent ginger. Orange peel adds a pleasant brightness and the scent of candied citrus.

At the heart, liquorice root softens everything with its naturally sweet note, while tulsi, the sacred basil, brings its characteristic herbaceous aroma found in Ayurvedic recipes. Fennel and anise extend this pleasantly anise-like sweetness.

In the base, crushed cacao nibs leave a lightly toasted signature, rounded out by dandelion and pineapple, which add body and a subtle fruity nuance. A natural infusion, with no added flavourings.

How to prepare this relaxing herbal infusion

Use 12 to 15 grams of the blend per litre of water, roughly one heaped tablespoon for a large mug. Bring the water to a full 100°C, then pour it over the herbs.

Steep for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the intensity you prefer. A shorter steep brings out the freshness of the citrus; a longer one fully releases the roundness of the liquorice and the warmth of the spices. Cover the teapot to preserve the volatile aromas, then strain.

For a longer moment of relaxation, you might also enjoy our hemp herbal infusion La Relaxante, an alternative with green, botanical notes. Savour this drink in a ceramic mug, ideally away from screens.

Traditional benefits of this herbal infusion

Tulsi is traditionally used in Ayurveda as an adaptogenic plant to support the management of stress. Fennel contributes to digestive comfort, a property recognised by the EFSA.

Cinnamon and ginger have been valued for centuries for their comforting warmth. The ANSES does, however, advise caution with liquorice for those with high blood pressure. Julien Huot, owner of Thés & Traditions, personally selects every plant in this recipe.

Storage

Store your herbal infusion in its airtight tin, away from light, heat and moisture. The aromas of the spices and plants will keep well for several months. Close the tin firmly after each use to prevent the spices from oxidising.
