There’s nothing quite like a hot cup of tea to warm up during these cold winter months. While I usually gravitate toward black teas for their caffeine boost, I often find myself reaching for a soothing herbal blend in the evening. Recently, I had the pleasure of trying Heavenly Tea Leaves, a family-owned brand known for its premium organic whole-leaf teas and botanicals.

A Passion for Quality and Flavor

Founded in 2006, Heavenly Tea Leaves was created to bring high-quality, organic loose-leaf teas to those who truly appreciate the ritual of a fine cup. Frustrated by the lack of flavorful and healthy options on the market, the company began sourcing its own teas, carefully curating each selection with integrity.

I had the opportunity to try two of their best-selling teas, Organic Earl Grey and Organic Lemon Ginger, and both exceeded my expectations.

A Taste of Heavenly Tea Leaves

Organic Earl Grey is one of the brand’s top sellers, and it’s easy to see why. This smooth, full-bodied black tea is infused with the citrus essence of Mediterranean bergamot, which adds a floral and slightly sweet note to each sip. Sourced from the orchards of Southern Italy, the bergamot perfectly complements the richness of the black tea, creating a bold and invigorating start to the day. With a high caffeine content, it provides a welcome energy boost to help me power through the morning.

For a more relaxing experience, Organic Lemon Ginger is a refreshing and comforting choice. This caffeine-free herbal tea is bursting with the flavors of ginger, lemongrass, liquorice root, lemon peel, and spearmint. Not only does it offer a bright and lively taste, but it also has a soothing effect on digestion, making it an excellent option for unwinding in the evening. This is the perfect tea to enjoy while curled up by the fire on a chilly evening.

Sustainability at Its Core

Beyond the wonderful flavors, what truly sets Heavenly Tea Leaves apart is its commitment to sustainability. Both of the teas I sampled came in organic pyramid tea bags, which are made from sugar cane and printed with soy-based ink. These plastic-free sachets are fully compostable within weeks, allowing for a more eco-friendly tea experience.

The brand’s dedication to environmentally responsible practices extends to its resealable kraft paper pouches, lined with compostable, corn-starch PLA (polylactic acid). This innovative packaging keeps the tea fresh while significantly reducing waste compared to traditional individually wrapped tea bags. Heavenly Tea Leaves has also adopted carbon-neutral shipping for all orders, reinforcing its efforts to minimize its environmental footprint.

Final Thoughts

Heavenly Tea Leaves has mastered the art of crafting high-quality, flavorful, and sustainable teas. From their carefully selected blends to their thoughtful, eco-friendly packaging, every aspect of their approach enhances the tea-drinking experience. Whether you’re looking for an energizing black tea to start your day or a soothing herbal blend to help you relax, this brand offers a cup of comfort you can feel good about drinking.
