Why organic loose leaf tea and beeswax candles?
At the heart of our collection is a commitment to purity, sustainability, and your well-being. When it comes to tea and candles, many of the conventional options on the market contain hidden toxins and environmental impacts that can affect your health and the planet. Here, we explain why choosing organic loose leaf tea and beeswax candles is the healthier, more mindful option for you and your home.
Sourcing
At Well by Larissa, we carefully source our herbs from certified organic farms that prioritize sustainability, soil health, and ethical growing practices. Each ingredient is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, ensuring purity and potency. By working with farmers who use regenerative methods, we support biodiversity and nutrient-rich plants, bringing you the highest-quality herbal remedies for your wellness journey.
The Hidden Toxins in Tea Bags
Most commercial tea bags are made with synthetic materials like nylon or polyester, which may leach microplastics into your tea when steeped in hot water. These microplastics can enter your body, with potential long-term effects on your health. Additionally, many conventional tea brands use non-organic tea leaves that are sprayed with pesticides and chemicals, which can contaminate your tea and contribute to harmful exposure.
Our organic loose leaf teas, on the other hand, are made from small-batch, sustainably sourced herbs that are grown without harmful pesticides or chemicals. Each leaf is handpicked and carefully processed to retain its natural flavors, antioxidants, and healing properties. By choosing loose leaf tea, you not only avoid microplastics and pesticides but also ensure that you are drinking the purest, most nutrient-rich infusion possible.
The Toxicity of Commercial Candles
Commercial candles, though often enticing with their fragrances and brightly colored waxes, can release harmful chemicals into your home. Many traditional candles are made with paraffin wax, a byproduct of petroleum, which when burned, can emit toxins such as benzene and toluene—substances that have been linked to respiratory issues and even cancer. Additionally, the synthetic fragrances in these candles may contain phthalates and other chemicals that can trigger allergies or disrupt hormonal balance.
Beeswax candles are a natural and healthier alternative. Made from the wax produced by bees, they burn cleaner and longer than paraffin candles, releasing only natural air-purifying negative ions into the atmosphere. Beeswax candles are free from harmful chemicals, and when paired with organic essential oils, they provide a subtle, therapeutic fragrance that supports relaxation and well-being. By choosing beeswax, you are supporting an eco-friendly, non-toxic, and sustainable product that aligns with your values of health and sustainability.
Why Organic Essential Oils?
To enhance the calming benefits of beeswax candles, we infuse them with organic essential oils. These oils are derived from pure plants, offering therapeutic properties without the synthetic chemicals commonly found in mass-produced fragrances. Whether you're looking for lavender to promote relaxation, peppermint to invigorate your senses, or eucalyptus to purify the air, organic essential oils provide a natural way to uplift your mood and create a soothing environment in your home.
