Escape The Limelight is like a holiday in a cup! A moment of wondrous retreat... This uplifting and refreshing blend was inspired by sunshine, warm summer nights by the pool, swaying palm trees, waves lapping on the beach, perhaps a refreshing Mojito or G&T in hand, happy relaxed laughter and deep contentment - when all is well and it feels like something wonderful is about to happen!

The flavours are full - but light and bright - lively lime, refreshing lemon myrtle, sweet spearmint, soothing calendula and... our special secret ingredient, a sprinkle of gourmet pink flakey salt crystals to make all the flavours shine. All blended expertly to arrive at a harmonious and illuminating unique cup. AMAZING as a cold brew!

We have sourced our organically grown limes locally from a beautiful bountiful lime tree here in Adelaide. They are hand picked, sliced and then dehydrated and hand broken into segments (talk about hand made!) and then lovingly blended. We love taking creative risks and the addition of beautiful Murray River Pink Salt was such a wonderful revelation as it makes all of the flavours pop!

Escape The Limelight is a seasonal blend in the Brewed By Belinda range of teas and it will only be available when we can source organically grown limes in season.

We hope you love this blend as much as we loved creating it for you.

May this cup whisk you away to your inner sanctuary where peace and calm reside.

BENEFITS OF THE INGREDIENTS...

Organically Grown Dried Lime Segments - Limes are an excellent source of antioxidants that protect your body by preventing or stopping damage caused by free radicals, or chemicals that harm cells. Limes are known to be great for boosting immunity. They are high in Vitamin C and packed with an abundance of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium and vitamins A, E and K, all of which are necessary for good health. Limes are known to assist with the production of collagen, a protein that keeps your skin, hair and nails strong. Limes are said to improve heart health, lower blood pressure, regulate blood sugar levels and reduce inflammation. They are said to improve digestion and assist with weight loss as citric acids may boost metabolism. AMAZING.

Organic Spearmint - Spearmint is loaded with a spectrum of essential nutrients including vitamins A, D, B12, calcium, iron, fibre, magnesium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, folate, glucose, protein, and carbohydrates. It is known to boost the immune system, aid digestion, ease nausea and tummy troubles. It is soothing and known to reduce stress and tension and ease anxiety.

It is known to be rich in antioxidants, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory.
