Discovering Assam Tea
June 27, 2024
One of our most frequent requests is a tea to soothe indigestion.
A healthy gut and digestive tract are hugely important to our overall health. In fact Hippocrates, a wise man considered the father of modern medicine, said that all disease begins in the gut. While it may not be true for all diseases and ailments, 2000 years later his knowledge of how intrinsically important gut health is has held up.
Obviously a healthy diet and lifestyle play a huge part in good digestion, and if like us you are a tea lover you will be relieved that tea can be an enjoyable part of this!
We’ve put together this blog as a guide to the different tasty and healthful options we have available.
Peppermint
One of the most widely used teas used as a digestive aid. This fresh and minty herbal tea is particularly good at relieving wind based indigestion. If heartburn and acid reflux play a big part in your indigestion you may want to try a different tea or limit the amount of mint you consume.
Pu Erh China Yunnan
Pu Erh is usually produced in the form of pressed cakes, then leaves are broken off and brewed. Here we have a loose leaf version which has all the same health benefits as the traditional pressed version.
Digestion
This drink is a Herbal Infusion that has many benefits and a variety of ingredients which give you a layered flavour from the first sip, with a gentle aroma of mint. The hops in this herbal and fruit based infusion give the initial bitter taste which you find in beer, then taste the peppermint and finally, the sweetness of the fruit.
Powerful Roots Lemon and Ginger
Powerful Roots Ginger and Lemon is a symphony of five carefully selected roots in perfect harmony with each other. Ginger, turmeric, liquorice, ginseng and chicory roots bought together result in a robust flavour with a piquant finish. Large, freeze-dried lemon peels lend this tea a fresh and citrussy character.
Fennel Seed
Fennel Seed can be harvested only in late summer when it has reached the highest stage of its development and finally forms the first seeds. Due to a taste that is similar to aniseed, this herb can be used in many different ways. In general, people brew an infusion, which is a wonderful natural digestive aid for both children and adults.
Mint Rose and Eucalyptus
Mint Rose and Eucalyptus is a popular blend and for a good reason. Crisped mint leaves give you a fresh, herby enlivening taste without the caffeine. Three types of rosebud and petal add a floral note and liquorice adds sweetness. Delightful!
Camomile
Camomile has a soft and creamy floral taste and is very soothing. It is also known for having anti infammatory properties. The camomile plant has beautiful daisy like flowers with a yellow centre and small white petals. Perfect as an evening drink and caffeine free.
