The 1619 Project
Inspired by her signature red hair, we created this tea to honor award-winning journalist, Nikole Hannah-Jones. On May 9, 2023, Brooklyn Tea hosted an intimate screening of the 1619 Project docu-series, including an in depth talk and book signing of her best selling book.
ABOUT THE 1619 PROJECT
The 1619 Project launched in August 2019 with a special issue of The New York Times Magazine, including essays and creative works by journalists, historians, and artists. The project illuminates the legacy of slavery in the contemporary United States, and highlights the contributions of Black Americans to every aspect of American society. In the years since its launch, The 1619 Project and the conversations it has sparked have expanded through new resources, including a podcast, a book-length anthology, and a children's book.
Lemongrass: Known for its antioxidant properties, lemongrass also has potential anti-inflammatory effects, aids in digestion, and may help reduce cholesterol levels.
Hibiscus: Rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins, hibiscus tea is beneficial for lowering blood pressure, improving liver health, and supporting weight management due to its diuretic properties.
Lemon Peel: Contains flavonoids and vitamin C, lemon peel supports skin health, digestion, and may help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.
Lemon Balm: Often used for its calming effects, lemon balm may help reduce anxiety, improve sleep quality, and aid digestion. It also has antioxidant properties that contribute to overall health benefits.
These herbs offer various health benefits supported by research, though individual results may vary, and consulting healthcare professionals is recommended for personalized advice.
