Want to get your tea flavor to the next level while supporting better health at the same time? Read on, for we are about the tell you how.
Fine loose leaf teas need minerals present in the water in order to coax out the best flavor and aroma too. Often, many people are drinking water that has had many, if not all, of the vital minerals stripped from it, yielding a much less flavorful cup as well a less healthy one. Reverse osmosis, in particular, is one of the most popular ways of purifying water. While the end result is very clean water, without the minerals, it makes for a flat tasting drink and even the aroma of tea is decreased. Many filtration systems will decrease the mineral content of water so we recommend the use of trace mineral drops to replace the missing minerals. Let’s get you to a healthier, fuller tasting cup of tea.
Try adding one to three drops of our Trace Minerals to each eight ounces of water as your fill your kettle prior to heating. When you make your tea, pay close attention to the aroma, the feeling of the tea on the tongue - is it a rounder, more three-dimensional flavor? Experiment with the number of drops you use and find the sweet spot for your own water situation as they are each unique to filtration method and water source.
Aside from big improvements in flavor for tea (and cooking too), there are myriad health benefits acquired from addling good trace minerals into the diet. Much of our soil has been rapidly depleted of trace mineral content over the last 50 years and the food we eat, especially processed foods, are devoid of many of the minerals our bodies need in order to maintain vibrant health and stave off disease. While there are many studies and writings on the health benefits of trace mineral supplementation, one may find through an internet search, here are some of the benefits we find notable: improved regularity, calmer nervous system, decrease in muscle tension, stronger bones and teeth.

Tea, like life, is one big experiment and by tweaking variables and checking outcomes we can improve our experience with both. Find what works for you and have fun.
