Wilden.herbals x KINTO: history of a wild combo

Here we are, summer has now officially begun and we gently begin to put our noses outside the house, delving into the woods – water bottle in hand – after almost bypassing spring. We reclaim our spaces, the sounds of the wind, the cicadas. We rediscover picnics, trips out of doors and sunset jaunts.

Even before these strange months, plastic-free water bottles have begun to make their way into our routines. Plastic is a real problem , and choosing to give up the disposable culture is-now more than ever-an ethical choice. The water bottle has therefore spread naturally, becoming a travel companion for contemporary explorers.

The water bottle: all the advantages

Think about it: a large part of us is water. Can you imagine all the little bottles we are made of? Clearly, such a consumerist lifestyle is not sustainable for the planet: the world no longer knows where to put all this shiny plastic. Therefore, reuse emerges as one of the cornerstones of Wilden.herbals ‘ ‘wild’ philosophy, and the water bottle is the right accessory we can no longer give up.

As always, we at Wilden.herbals look for products in line with our philosophy. After careful research and much testing, we identified KINTO ‘s Tumblers, and with them we embarked on a journey of sustainable outreach to the tune of water bottles.

KINTO’s Tumblers convinced us not only because of the simplicity,elegance, and colors of their Day-off and Travel lines but especially because of the functionality of their water bottles, thought out precisely in every aesthetic and functional detail.

KINTO’s Tumblers are in fact designed as flasks in which herbal tea, tea or fruit can be left to infuse. In fact, screwing on the first cap ensures a comfortable drink without any infusing solids reaching us while drinking, which is easy to clean. Its double-bottom construction ensures both hot and cold retention for about 6 hours. After this time has passed, your infusions will gradually lose their hot-cold, while still ensuring excellent performance for more hours.

Herbal teas in water bottles: guide to use

We have already told you how to make great cold herbal teas here ; on these hot summer days we recommend that you let Wilden.herbals infuse in your water bottles for 8 hours cold. The infusion will happen slowly and the extraction of aromas will be different than when hot, but still very pleasant and able to flavor your waters on the go. Here are some preparation tips for your Wilden.herbals herbal teas in a water bottle.

Hot

Pour 95° water into the flask, let it steep for 5-10 minutes, then remove the sachet and close both caps to maintain heat.

Cold

Remove the compostable paper bead from the pyramid sachet string, pour cold water inside the water bottle, soak the Wilden.herbals infusion inside the water bottle, and close both caps. Shake the flask firmly for 30 seconds and let it steep for about 8 hours or overnight. Use one sachet for every half liter of water. After finishing the first infusion you can add more water, repeating the process.

When making your water bottle infusion, remember to use cold or hot water already and not to store it in the refrigerator to cool. This is because KINTO water bottles have a double layer given by an insulating chamber that seems to do its job just fine!
