The soft floral vibe of Days of Heaven herbal tea will bring life to your favorite lager, weiss bier or IPA. It’s such a versatile tea that works magic on each type of beer we tried. Lager brings out its earthy sweetness, IPA creates a tingly aromatic herbaceous drink, and weiss enhances its sweet tart rhubarb and floral notes. Try all three versions, or go with your favorite type of beer. This shandy takes beer to another stratosphere of flavor that will delight even the pickiest drinker.
