Cold-brewing: Add 1 teaspoon of tea to every 8oz of cool or room-temperature filtered water. Seal container with lid and leave at room temperature or refrigerate for 8-12 hours. Strain off solid components which can be added to fresh foods so as not to waste tea leaves, flowers, herbs, etc that have been steeped.

Hot Brewing: Add 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of tea to every 8-10 ounces of hot (never boiling) water. Always allow to cool to room temperature prior to offering. Some individuals may need it diluted as they become accustomed to the taste of the tea blend being offered.

We do NOT simply mix random items in bags without considering the impact each ingredient will potentially have on your animals.

Our goal is to improve the lives of the animals with which we share our lives and appreciate your trust in us and our products.

Tea blends consist of organic matter and, therefore, can spoil once wet like all other foods. It is not recommended to use tea at room temperature for extended periods of time and should be left out as long as fresh foods would be left out (up to 8-12 hours depending on environment). It is also critical that animals have access to clean water for at least part of every day. All teas are safe for animals to bathe in though some staining may occur dependent upon the ingredients contained within that blend. Tea blends may be used dry and mixed with fresh and dry foods but the true benefits come when tea is steeped and consumed as a liquid.

In bird nutrition, “whole foods” are ingredients that wild birds could obtain in nature—fresh vegetables and fruits, seeds, nuts, herbs, coconut, edible flowers, insects, and items that are soaked or sprouted. In short, foods you can recognize at a glance.

With the exception of processed products such as pellets, supplements, and bird cookies, most of these are considered whole foods. (Seeds count as whole foods, too.)

Herbal tea blends are made from organic ingredients and, like other foods, can spoil quickly once soaked in water. Leaving them at room temperature for extended periods is not recommended. Depending on environmental conditions, please treat them as you would fresh food and use within 8–12 hours as a guideline. It is also important that animals have access to clean water for at least part of the day. All blends can also be used for bathing, but depending on the ingredients, they may cause slight coloration. Tea blends can be sprinkled dry onto food; however, the true benefits are obtained when given as an infusion.
