Learn how to brew, sip, and actually use functional teas for stress, sleep, and balance. Vidya from Tea & Turmeric in Laguna Beach shares how to make tea that truly supports your body, one intentional cup at a time.

If your tea isn’t helping you sleep better, calm your nerves, or feel more grounded, you might just be drinking it wrong.

There’s a difference between drinking tea and letting tea do its work. One calms you for a moment; the other teaches your body to rest.

In this episode, Vidya, co-owner of Tea & Turmeric in Orange County, explains what functional teas really are, how to brew them for maximum benefit, and how to build a ritual that supports your body on a deeper level.

You’ll learn:

• what makes a tea functional
• how to brew without turning it bitter
• why timing and temperature matter
• how micro-dosing improves absorption
• when to sip for better sleep or stress relief
• why consistency, not intensity, creates results

Vidya also shares stories from Tea & Turmeric customers who’ve used functional teas to ease anxiety, improve sleep, and restore calm, one cup at a time.

Takeaway: Functional teas aren’t just about flavor. They’re about purpose, patience, and creating a steady relationship between your body and the plants that support it.
