About this Product
Two different teas with an Irish flare!
"Shamrock" Loose Herb & Black tea and Irish Smiles Loose All Herb tea with no caffiene
Shamrock Tea -- Special blend of Irish Breakfast Tea with Spearmint, Blackberry leaf, and rose hips makes a perfect blend to celebrate the Irish in you! This blend was originally created as a custom blend for the Annual Victorian Tea event of the Wheaton History Center in Wheaton, Illinois in 2000. We make the blend fresh to order, but a sample of an older label is included in the photos.
Irish Smiles Tea - all herb tea includes elder flower, rosemary, sage, thyme, and mint. It is sweet and savory and can keep away germs to keep you smiling.
Our Irish Tea Collection is only available until March 30. You can have any combination of two, choose from the drop down menu.
All teas are packaged fresh with 1/2 cup loose tea in a zip seal kraft bag. Because we use only the freshest herbs, all blends from the Backyard Patch have an 18 to 24 month shelf-life guarantee for both the loose and bagged tea.
All Backyard Patch herbs are raised organically and are chemical and pesticide free.
Herbal Teas often have medicinal qualities; but no medicinal applications are recommended without consulting your physician. Any medicinal claims made are strictly based on herb lore and not medical fact. Self-medicating with herbs should never be done without proper genuine medical advice. This is my disclaimer -- and I add, choose your herb teas because you enjoy them! I craft my teas for taste first.
