Buddhi is a feminine Sanskrit noun that means to be awake, to understand, to know, and to discern truth from falsehood, thereby making wisdom possible. It is also the name of our favorite yoga studio. We created this tea with Buddhi in mind, combining a blend of botanicals to bring balance to our bodies and knowledge to our minds. Much the way we feel while taking a yoga or meditation class.
Buddhi Balance is made with South African long-cut rooibos. rose petals, peach nibs and lavender buds. The rooibos melds the tastes of the sweet honey bush, garden florals and summer stone fruits.
This tea is delicious when brewed with hot water or as a cold brewed infusion. The Squirrel's favorite way to enjoy this tea is to add steamed and frothed milk to create a sweet, floral, feminine latte (see Brewing Recommendations).
