Northern Lights Tea

Northern Lights Tea - 15 bags

An ethereal dance of flavor. Northern Lights Tea is a luminous, refreshing blend inspired by the emerald curtains of light that streak across the Arctic night. By pairing a delicate green tea base with the herbal clarity of wild Arctic Thyme and the tart soul of crowberries, we’ve captured a flavor profile that is as crisp, cool, and enchanting as a starlit night in the North.

The Wild (Icelandic Ingredients):

• Arctic Thyme (Blóðberg): Foraged from rocky hills and dry heaths, this hardy wild thyme is a jewel of the Icelandic summer. It possesses a unique, floral-lavender aroma that is far more delicate and sweet than its Mediterranean cousins.

• Crowberries (Krækiber): These small, dark berries are the survivors of the tundra. They add a subtle, tart snap and a hint of wild acidity that balances the grassy notes of the green tea.

The Blend:

• Base: Fine Green Tea provides a light, vegetal foundation that mirrors the vibrant green hues of the Aurora Borealis.

• Aroma: Arctic Thyme elevates the blend with its hauntingly sweet, herbal fragrance that fills the room as it steeps.

• The Snap: Crowberries provide an earthy complexity and a touch of North Atlantic character.

• Flavor Profile: A light and ethereal symphony. The soft, grassy notes of green tea are heightened by the floral sweetness of thyme, finishing with a clean, slightly tart berry dry-down.

Why These Ingredients?

In our Northern Lights Tea, we look to the calming and restorative powers of the Arctic landscape:

• Arctic Antioxidants: Green Tea and Crowberries are both powerhouses of polyphenols and antioxidants, chosen to help protect and rejuvenate the body from the inside out.

• Breathe Free: Arctic Thyme has been used by Icelanders for centuries in traditional teas to soothe the chest and clear the senses—much like the crisp, clean air of a cold winter night.

• Mindful Clarity: This blend is lower in caffeine than black tea, designed to provide a gentle, focused energy that clears the "fog" of the day without disturbing the quiet of the evening.

Brewing Suggestion: Use 1–2 teaspoons per cup. Steep in 90°C water for 2–4 minutes. To protect the delicate antioxidants and avoid bitterness in the green tea and thyme, avoid using boiling water. Watch the leaves unfurl and imagine the lights dancing above—perfect for a moment of quiet reflection.
