I began learning
about and working with garden plants and herbs in the late 1970's.
My first education came from a program called Meals for Millions
and its focus was on heirloom gardening in the desert. Their I
began to learn of the importance of seed, seed heritage preservation
and uses of plants. As an eater, what began as research into the
use of herbs and spices for my personal health and culinary needs,
became a life-long passion.
I have an ever
increasing appreciation for plants; their physical beauty, diverse
scents, their flavors and taste, as well as their nutritional
and health benefits. Each plant used for food and health plays
unique roles within our bodies as they work to support, nurture
and heal.

Why
Use Certified Organic Herbs and Spices?
|
|
Organic food is produced
by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation
of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations.
Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals
that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones (and ideally raides
on the pasture). Organic food is produced without using most conventional
pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage
sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation. Before a product can
be labeled 'organic,' a Government-approved certifier inspects the
farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following
all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards. Companies
that handle or process organic food before it gets to your local supermarket
or restaurant must be certified, too. -------Extracted from USDA.GOVM
Quilter's Comfort also uses organically sourced and sometimes wildcrafted
herbs and spices that are grown using organic and permaculture principles.
When possible, we source locally. Some plants people grow using biodynamic
methods and understandings in bring their product to the table. |
Quilter's Comfort Teas and
Seasonings are blended for use by every person. We do not include
nightshades and are anti-inflamatory. Our teas are for all moments,

Why
Use Loose Herbs as Tea?
|
|
We keep our
teas loose because they provide us with a much fresher product,
far better taste and because they retain more of their volatile
oils have increased health benefits. Tea experts agree, that loose
teas have the best flavors because the leaves expand and release
their full qualities. When you chop herbs into very small pieces
the beneficial essential oils present on the herbs are destroys.
Because Quilter's Comfort's herbs are full of wonderful flavors,
do not overfill your tea ball or strainer.
All Quilter's
Comfort teas and seasonings are blended in small batches to ensure
freshness.
Enjoy a cup or
a pot of Quilter's Comfort tea, we think you will like it hot and
cold. Once you try QCT, we hope you will become fond of our great
and comforting taste, long lasting quality and see the economical
benefits in our product. When you support your health and wellness,
you reduce medical expenses.
We encourage you
to share this small comfort with friends. Be sure to have them let
us know so we can thank you!

How
To Brew Your Herbal Tea
|
|
Bring water to boil in stainless
steel pot. Pour one cup of steaming hot water over 1 teaspoon of
tea using a French press, tea ball or basket, or loose in a cup
or pot. (When using loose herbs in a cup, we enjoy using a Bombia
(drinking straw). Steep covered 3-5 minutes for general use. For
added therapeutic value, steep 10-20 minutes. We enjoy the tea as
is, or with a bit of honey or stevia.
|
How
To Store Your Herbal Tea
|
|
To preserve the quality of
your teas store them in airtight containers, preferably in a container
that blocks out light which damages levels of essential ingredients,
which impacts on nutrition and flavor. Tins are really nice, but
if you do not have them use glass. When storing tea and other herbs
in glass, be sure to store them in a cool dark cupboard or shelf
or inside of a drawer. If you enjoy decorating, you can paint your
jars to enhance your home and help preserve quality, and a few coins.
Of course, keep all of your teas, herbs and spices away from the
heat of your stove.
