Badia Natural Herbs Tea. 100 bags

For a lot of Cuban households, tea is what comes after dinner — not coffee, not dessert — a simple herbal infusion to settle the stomach before bed. Badia's natural herbs blend is the one most abuelas keep in the cupboard for exactly that.

Each box contains 100 individually wrapped bags of a mild herbal blend — chamomile, linden, orange blossom, and mint among the dominant notes. No caffeine, no sweetener, no fuss. Steep in hot water for three to five minutes.

Common Uses: After-dinner digestive tea, late-night wind-down, soothing a restless child, sick-day comfort, and the standard remedy when someone says they have empacho or just can't sleep.

Cultural Context: In Cuban homes, herbal tea isn't a wellness trend — it's pharmacy. Mothers and grandmothers reach for it before they reach for anything from a bottle, and the smell of it brewing on the stove is shorthand for being taken care of. Badia's blend is the diaspora version of what families used to grow in the patio in Cuba.

Pairs With: A square of María cookie, a small spoon of honey, or nothing at all. Often served in the same demitasse cups used for cafecito earlier in the day.

Ships nationwide to Cuban-American households who grew up with this tin on the counter and want it back in the cupboard.
