Matcha is a Japanese ceremonial powdered green tea. Matcha has special significance in Japan and is traditionally sipped from a traditional bowl and prepared in a Tea Ceremony called Chanoyu. This tea has a unique, creamy, sweet and rich oceanic taste. Matcha is also one of the only types of teas where you ingest the leaf, thus providing larger health benefits than most other teas, like additional vitamin C and protein.

Foot Massage helps to increase circulation and relieves tired, sore muscles. It’s great for runners, people who spend the work-day on their feet, or anyone who is looking for a healthy, stress-relieving experience. At Soakology, massage can be paired with a foot-soak and a steaming cup of tea to make it the ultimate relaxing experience.

Savannah Bee Company’s Royal Jelly Body butter is a staff favorite at Soakology. Royal Jelly is made by bees to feed to the developing queen, so as a body butter, it is nutrient-packed and very nourishing for the skin. We love how it softens and repairs skin, and the light blackberry scent is delicious! This luxuriant product is used to do the foot and lower-leg massage our monthly special, “End of Summer; Bummer.”
Why not try a cup of chamomile lavender tea? Both chamomile and lavender have been widely used to promote sleep and relaxation. As a combined infusion, these herbs have a calming effect that may help the restless night-owl wind down. As with other herbal teas, it is caffeine free. Its sweet floral taste is appealing to both children and adults.

Cape Town Rooibos is personally one of my favorite teas. It is a blend of rooibos (which is naturally sweet and aromatic), rose petals and chamomile flower. Not only is this tea blend gorgeous and delicious, it is good for you too! The rooibos is great for digestion, tension, and packed with good vitamins and iron. You can also make a delightful Cape Town Fog by adding steamed milk and vanilla!
Every day we have new teas to try and love. Come in and try Cape Town Rooibos today!
