The action of any infusion depends on how it is used. This article will provide some practical information on how to prepare and direct the energy of herbal infusions. An herb is a plant that is used for medicinal purposes. When you put an herb in water and let it sit for a while, it is called an infusion. Tea and coffee are types of infusions. If an infusion has no tea or coffee, it is called a tisane. Sun tea is a warm infusion, and you make a cold infusion by soaking herbs in cool water overnight.

Interview with Gibran McDonald

Gibran McDonald
Sip to Live founder Gibran McDonald talks about the inspiration for his teas in this 2010 interview with Showcase PDX. In this interview, he mentions Esperanza Spalding, who just won a Grammy for best new artist. If you know Sip to Live, you have probably heard about her by way of Esperanza tea, an herbal portrait of the artist. The day she won the grammy, Gibran was busy blending Esperanza: The Remix. Coincidence? You decide. Esperanza: The Remix has the calm of lemon balm, the focus of gotu kola, and the full-bodied spirit of spearmint. It is now available at the People's Food co-op in Portland where Esperanza used to shop!

Yogis study the science of breath. The strategic aim of yoga is complete connection with the Love Supreme, who is known by many names. The tactical aim of meditation is control of the breath, which cultivates one's connection to the spirit of life(the word "spirit" comes from the Latin "spiritus," which means "breath.") Yoga aligns the body and sets the breath to a steady rythm, so that the body has a steady intake of prana (energy). The body receives prana from three sources: Breath, food, and sunlight, in respective order. We can survive for weeks without food and days without water, but without breath life will be over in a matter of minutes.

Sip to Live teas are in looseleaf form. Our packaging is flexible, durable, and effective at preserving flavor. Some people might say that bagged tea is more convenient, however, there are several infusers on the market that are just as convenient as tea bags and do not generate as much post-consumer waste. In addition, loose tea is both better quality and cheaper than bagged tea- how often in life do you get more for less?
