A Tea for Every Bodily Function

I recently discovered a hidden gem on the shelves at Whole Foods, The Republic of Tea's Be Well Red Tea Collection and let's just say that I'm obsessed. Kinda.

I'm not obsessed in the, "I've bought every single kind they have" way, mostly because it's a little more expensive than I can afford right now, I'd say it's more of an "oh my gosh this is quite possibly the coolest thing I've seen all day" obsession.

This collection is like the tea equivalent to Vitamin Water. Each of the 17 different varieties has a different “Wellness” goal, with different herbs to help achieve it. What makes it so cool, is the catchy story on the canister’s label, ala the Vitamin Water bottle wrapper, which, if I’m being perfectly honest is the best part about it.


Take for example, the Get Happy Tea which says: Herb Tea for Lifting Your Spirits - Need an attitude adjustment? If the sky is gray and cloudy or your spirit could use a little lift, there are lots of mood-enhancing options out there. But few are as healthy or delightful as sipping this caffeine-free herbal brew based on organic rooibos. Like a burst of sunshine, it begins to work its subtle magic as the bright flavors of lemon myrtle and luscious peach do a tango on your taste buds. Meanwhile, our carefully balanced blend of calming lemon balm, St. John's wort and rhodiola does its part to help keep the blues away*. So sip and smile. You'll be feeling peachy keen in no time.


These caffeine-free rooibos based teas have a solution for every health related woe… Get Gorgeous for clear skin, Get it Going for constipation, Get Charged for energy, Get a Grip for menopause and PMS, Get Some ZZZ’s to help you sleep, Get Lost for weight control, Get Clean for Detox, Get Soothed for scratchy throats, Get Relief for digestion (gas and bloating issues), Get Maternal for pregnant/new moms, Get Wellness for immunity, Get Heart for cardio health, Get Happy for lifting your spirits, Get Relaxed for stress relief, Get Growing for your hair/nails/bones, Get Smart for memory/focus, and finally Get Passionate for your libido.
