Star Child Happy Times Herbal Tea 50g • Bright & Uplifting Botanical Blend

Happy Times Herbal Tea is a warm, aromatic loose herbal blend created for brighter daytime tea rituals and moments when you want something comforting, fragrant and full of botanical character.

Hand-blended in the UK, it combines Woodruff, Lemon Balm, St John’s Wort, Blessed Thistle, Rosemary, Motherwort, Lemon Verbena, Cinnamon, Liquorice Root and Star Anise.

The result is a complex infusion moving between fresh herbs, gentle citrus, warming spice and naturally sweet liquorice notes.

Rather than presenting the blend as a treatment for low mood or emotional difficulties, Happy Times is best enjoyed as a flavourful botanical tea within a positive daily or reflective routine.

Aroma & Flavour

Happy Times has considerably more depth than a single-herb tea.

Lemon Balm and Lemon Verbena bring brighter citrus-herbal notes, while Rosemary adds a fresher aromatic edge.

Cinnamon and Star Anise create warmth and spice, with Liquorice Root contributing natural sweetness.

Woodruff, Blessed Thistle, Motherwort and St John’s Wort give the blend its more traditional herbal character and slightly bitter complexity.

Because this is a loose botanical blend, each spoonful can contain slightly different proportions of leaves, roots and spices.

About Star Child Glastonbury

Star Child Glastonbury is a UK brand known for herbal teas, incense, essential oils and ritual preparations inspired by traditional plant lore and personal spiritual practice.

Its herbal blends combine familiar and less commonly used botanicals into distinctive recipes built around particular moods, occasions and rituals.

Happy Times is one of the brighter blends in the range, combining citrus herbs, warming spices and traditional European botanicals.

Happy Times Herbal Tea • Citrus Herbs, Spice & Traditional Botanicals

The personality of Happy Times comes from its unusually broad mixture of herbs.

It is not simply a Lemon Balm or St John’s Wort tea.

Fresh citrus notes sit beside Rosemary, warming Cinnamon and Star Anise, while Liquorice Root provides sweetness and the more bitter herbs add depth.

This makes it especially suited to drinkers who enjoy more traditional, layered herbal infusions rather than delicate floral teas.

St John’s Wort

St John’s Wort has a long history in European herbal traditions and is one of the most recognisable ingredients in the blend.

It is also the ingredient that deserves the most careful safety attention.

St John’s Wort can interact with a wide range of medicines and may affect how some medicines work.

For that reason, this tea should not be treated as an everyday wellness drink for everyone simply because it is herbal.

If you take prescription or over-the-counter medicines, check with a pharmacist, doctor or suitably qualified healthcare professional before using the blend.

Lemon Balm, Lemon Verbena & Rosemary

Lemon Balm and Lemon Verbena contribute much of the fresher aromatic character.

Both bring a bright herbal-citrus quality that helps balance the more bitter ingredients.

Rosemary adds a sharper green note and works particularly well alongside the warming spice of Cinnamon.

Together, these herbs give the infusion a livelier character without making medical claims about mood, concentration or stress.

Cinnamon, Star Anise & Liquorice Root

Cinnamon and Star Anise provide the warmer side of the blend.

Their familiar spice notes make the tea feel fuller and more rounded, while Liquorice Root introduces natural sweetness.

Liquorice Root is another ingredient that warrants sensible caution.

Frequent or high intake of liquorice may not be appropriate for everyone, particularly people with certain health conditions or those taking particular medicines.

The Other Botanicals

Woodruff, Blessed Thistle and Motherwort add a more traditional European herbal dimension.

They also mean this is a relatively complex formulation rather than a simple everyday tea.

Traditional herbal use should not be taken as evidence that these ingredients treat low mood, anxiety, stress or other health conditions.

How to Prepare

Brew according to the current product packaging or supplied preparation instructions.

Because this blend contains different types of plant material, gently mixing the dry tea before measuring can help distribute the ingredients more evenly.

Use freshly boiled water and adjust strength within the manufacturer’s directions.

Longer steeping will usually produce a stronger and more bitter herbal character.

A Simple Positive-Day Ritual

Happy Times can be enjoyed as part of a short daytime pause.

Prepare the tea, step away from work or screens for a few minutes and focus on one practical thing that would make the rest of the day feel more manageable or enjoyable.

A simple question might be:

What small thing would improve today?

The tea does not create positivity by itself, but the ritual can provide a useful moment for attention and reset.
