Description
Sage tea has been used for centuries as a traditional remedy, with its invigorating aroma and fresh flavour offering potential health perks. This herbal infusion is derived from the Salvia officinalis plant – part of the same family as mint - while scientific research on this drink's healing properties remains in the early stages.
How to Make Sage Tea
Making a cup of sage tea is simple. Begin by boiling water and adding one teaspoon of dried sage leaves for every cup of tea you plan to make.
Allow to steep for between 5 to 10 minutes, then strain before enjoying.
For an extra flavourful drink, add a pinch of ground cloves or cinnamon with the sage leaves.
Tasting Notes: It has a unique flavour that is both savoury and sweet. The taste of this herbal tea can vary depending on how long it has been steeped, but overall it has an aromatic profile that includes notes of citrus, clove, lavender and peppermint.
Caffeine Levels: Sage Tea does not contain caffeine, so it can be enjoyed any time of the day
History of Sage Tea
Sage has had an incredible journey since its first recorded use in 812 AD. Charlemagne deemed it so important that he ordered it to be grown on German Imperial farms, likely due to the fact sage was widely used for medicinal purposes. It also sparked an international trade of tea with China.
Four pounds of Chinese Tea was traded for one pound of Sage leaves tea. With such a long-standing history spanning centuries, it is clear why this herb remains highly esteemed today.
Ancient Rome recognized the incredible healing properties of sage and utilized its curative abilities to support digestive health while promoting wound healing. In China, this herb earned a reputation as an effective remedy for colds; joint pain; typhoid fever; and kidney or liver conditions alike.
What is Sage Tea Good for
Sage is an incredible herb that offers a variety of medical benefits. From its antiseptic and preservative properties for meat to providing cardiovascular disease prevention thanks to the flavone salvinorin. Sage Leaf Tea has been scientifically proven useful beyond just cooking!
But it doesn't stop there - drinking the leaves aids in treating Alzheimer’s symptoms as well as depression; menopausal women can find relief from hot flashes with this herb; plus, you can use it for your dental health by soothing sore throats or even preventing gum disease. Truly amazing!
