Hand blended in Victoria’s tranquil Yarra Valley, this organic tea range uses the finest Australian seasonal herbs and ingredients to assist with digestion, concentration, sleep, energy, relaxation and detoxification. I love tea, especially herbal teas, I study herbs and the effects they can have and the way this company has combined their herbal expertise in their teas, combined with the environmentally friendly biogreafdable tea temple bags, makes this tea a pleasure to drink.  I tried two from the range - Digest It - Tea to soothe your tummy. An organic blend of chamomile flower, lemongrass and peppermint. Chamomile contains Bisabolol, which has anti-inflammatory properties and relaxes the stomach. Lemongrass contains a component called citral which helps with digestions, used a lot in chinese medicine, particularly for bloating. Peppermint tea helps to ease stomach cramps and is very calming. Although it tastes subtle, it does a really nice job of keeping my tummy calm, really good for after meals. Has a refreshing and delightful taste. Nod Off - To help you sleep well, containing Linden Flower, Biodynamic Apple, Chamomile and Elderflower. This is the tea I need. I am a very light sleeper and sometimes have trouble falling asleep. This blend intrigued me because the ingredients are quite different from other teas I have tried for a restful nights sleep. Especially good for people who wake between 2-4 in the morning and have trouble getting back to sleep, which is what happens to me regularly. Even though the tea tastes mild, it is strong enough to help me nod off to sleep quickly and stay asleep. Linden flower has a soothing effect on the body and is very helpful with anxiety related insomnia. Elderflower helps to relax nerves. Chamomile is a well known remedy for helping with sleep and tranquility. I remember reading in a herbal remedy book about how apples can help you sleep, which isn't common knowledge, so I was glad to see it in this tea's ingredients. I'm very happy to have come across these healthy and effective teas. The company is family owned and operated and I can tell that they know their herbs when it comes to treating ailments. The price for the teas are very affordable, which is great for such high quality ingredients. I'm looking forward to trying their other blends.

I am a big tea drinker, I drink tea every day and I love to try different flavours. Tea is very comforting, it makes me sit down and relax, even if t’s just for 10 minutes, it gives me a mental break. What makes it even better is when the tea is organic! Did you know that conventional tea brands have been shown to contain high levels of toxic substances such as fluoride and pesticides! When you start drinking organic tea you can really taste the difference, especially when this tea comes from an ethical company such as Loose Lips Tea. Stemming from Melbourne, tea artisan and founder of Loose Lips Tea Co., Cherri Davis, has created a wonderful gourmet collection of beautiful hand blended teas using all organic ingredients. I tried the following two teas -  So French Special Earl Grey I have always loved earl grey tea, not realising up until now what a difference there is between the tea bags and real earl grey tea, especially the french type! There is a huge difference in the quality and taste, as soon as I opened the packet of the loose tea the scent was so amazing and the taste was even better. The divine aroma of the tea is very relaxing, this could be put down to the bergamot oil, which is known to relieve anxiety and stress. The rose petals and lavender also make it a relaxing and refreshing tea and the black tea leaves contain a nice little caffeine hit. I love this tea during the afternoons to keep me going for the rest of the day. It’s a good pick me up tea, at the same time helping me to relax. A very luxurious tea, which I can imagine sipping in a quaint little tea shop.  Peppermint and liquorice Two other favourite teas of mine are peppermint and liquorice, but I’ve always had them on their own, not combined! This is actually a very clever and tasty blend. I usually drink peppermint tea after a meal, it helps with digestion and gives me fresh breath. Peppermint aroma is very uplifting. Liquorice tea is really good for settling the stomach and quenches my sweet tooth naturally. Combining these two teas almost feels like an after dinner dessert. It’s also a great breakfast tea as the menthol in peppermint can stimulate the brain and help with concentration. This tea is caffeine free, so I can also drink it in the evenings to help me relax, as menthol also works as a mild muscle relaxant. Loose lips teas are of a very high quality, they taste and smell amazing and are full of anti-oxidants and healthy herbal ingredients. The large bags of loose teas are also very affordable!
