The hot cup that marks the end of the day, sweet and citrusy and grounding, is what Vata Balance is built for. Steep it in the evening as a caffeine-free wind-down, after dinner, or alongside a quiet moment with a book. In Ayurveda, the traditional wellness system of India, blends are matched to the body-type traditions called doshas. A warm, grounding cup like this is associated with the vata type and the cold, dry, windy vata season of autumn into early winter.
Lemongrass and lemon peel give it a bright citrus lift, fennel seeds (saunf, the sweet after-dinner seed of Indian kitchens) bring a gentle anise sweetness, and licorice root rounds the cup with a natural, sugar-free sweetness. It steeps a pale gold. We blend and pack it in small batches in Portland, with no salt, no sugar, and no preservatives.
In Ayurvedic tradition, cold and dry autumn is answered with warm, sweet, grounding spices. Steep it hot and sip slowly, or brew it stronger with warm milk and a spoon of honey for a caffeine-free spiced-milk cup.
