Bear Earth Herbals’ Northern Nirvana

Bottoms Up
Aug. 20, 2022

There’s still a lot of summertime left to love, but on some of these cooler nights, we’ve found ourselves warming up beside the bonfire—or under a weighted blanket—with a cup of Bear Earth Herbals’ Northern Nirvana. In short, it’s the perfect pre-bed tea made with anise hyssop, lemongrass, milky oat tops, linden, and lavender. That’s a blend quite literally made to chill you out, as Bear Earth notes, “All of the herbs in this blend are known nervines, herbs that calm and soothe the nervous system, ease the troubles of the mind, and lift the mood.” (That’s basically a yoga class in a mug.) We bought our tin of loose leaf after enjoying a cup at Third Coast Bakery in Traverse City, but you can find Northern Nirvana and other Bear Earth teas across the North. Visit bearearthherbals.com/find-us to find a location or place an online order.
