Mother Henriot's Elixir : Absinthe Tea
We are very excited about our newest tea, Mother Henriot's Elixir.
Tea has a rich history. It has shaped cultures and economies. It can benefit our health and bring people together. There are rituals surrounding it, Goddesses associated with it.
Absinthe too has shaped cultures and economies. And we'd be hard pressed to find another beverage that is surrounded by so much controversy, magic and mystique.
But it all began as a humble herbal infusion, a tea; designed to be taken medicinally. And the recipe was developed by a certain Madame Henriod, of Switzerland; my ancestor.
After discovering that Madame Henriod and her daughters were herbalists, and had a small shop in their town selling teas and herbs; I couldn't help but note the similarities. I felt compelled to continue that family tradition, to return to my roots and that of the original Absinthe; the herbal infusion to be taken as tea.
Our tea is a fine blend with the distinctive anise flavor of Absinthe. It has no artificial color or preservatives added. You will enjoy the natural beautiful golden color of the steeped herbs and all the amazing flavor. It is wonderful to brew in a French press and drink it from a clear glass. Single cup filters and filter holder are included with this tea to prepare a cup at a time.
