Episode Summary:
Daughter's tea sommelier course sparks tea passion @ 2:36
Dr. Michelle Greenwell's daughter took a tea sommelier course, which led Dr. Greenwell to become interested in tea. She then collaborated with a colleague to create tea blends based on Eastern and Western herbs and their essences, leading to the development of the "Teas with Intention" line.
Intention and mindfulness in tea drinking @ 5:00
Dr. Greenwell explains how the intention and mindfulness behind drinking the teas is key - activating intentions through movement, focusing on the experience of sipping the tea, and being present in the moment. This contrasts with mindless tea drinking.
Proper tea preparation techniques @ 8:17
Dr. Greenwell discusses the importance of proper tea preparation, including using the right water temperature, avoiding over-steeping, and using loose leaf tea rather than tea bags to preserve the full flavor and nutritional benefits of the herbs.
Choosing the right tea and using tea for self-care @ 18:06
Dr. Greenwell provides guidance on how to choose the right tea for your needs, including using muscle testing and intuition. She also emphasizes the importance of making tea a daily self-care ritual.
Pairing tea with food and using tea in cooking @ 28:00
Dr. Greenwell shares ideas for pairing teas with specific foods and using teas in cooking, such as making iced tea, switchel, and even chocolate cake with tea.
Spiritual and energetic essence of herbs in teas @ 29:43
Dr. Greenwell explains how she approaches the herbs in her teas from a spiritual and energetic perspective, focusing on the unique qualities and "personalities" of the herbs rather than just their medicinal properties.
