It is delicious served hot or cold. We also offer blends that support specific body functions such as stress relief and digestive support. Our bath teas and soaks offer soothing relief and relaxation to tired achy bodies. To see our full product line, read our blog, and join our newsletter, please go to http://www.bodysoulteas.com.
