Herbs for Recovery – Ayurvedic Infusion

Brew & Taste

Each ingredient has its place in this blend – and a number of health benefits, too. The color of this tea is light yellow with a pleasant lemon aroma. Herbs for Recovery tea is refreshingly spicy with dominant notes of lemon, ginger, and cardamom.

Origins

Coming up with and formulating tea that’s both tasty and healthy isn’t easy, but we do it for all our teas anyway. Herbs for Recovery is one such tea. We took major care to source all the ingredients fresh and in small volume, so they don’t go stale in storage. This means they’re always naturally delicious and fragrant and keep the best possible quality.

Let's take a closer look at the four main ingredients; where they come from, what they look like, their history, and most importantly, their health benefits.

Ginger is a plant native to South Asia, but nowadays you can find commercial ginger fields in India, China, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. Its underground rhizome is irregularly branched, with a light brown skin hiding yellow flesh. Ginger has been largely popular since ancient China and India and was one of the most valuable imports to Europe in the Middle Ages.

Ginger is rich in:

• Gingerol,
• essential oils,
• vitamins B6 and C.

The next essential ingredient in this tea is cardamom, which grows in the tropical forests of India, Sri Lanka, and Guatemala. It produces green capsules which contain tiny dark seeds and has been used by the ancient Egyptians to freshen the breath. It’s also a big name in Ayurveda and Arabic cuisine.

Cardamom contains mainly:

• cineol, terpineol, and borneol essential oils.

Let’s not forget about chamomile, an herb popular from Europe and the Middle East all the way to North Africa. Its small yellow-white flowers have a pleasantly sweet scent. Chamomile was also used, for example, by the ancient Egyptians.

Chamomile is popular for its content of:

• Flavonoids,
• coumarins,
• bisabolol.

Lemongrass also plays an important role in this blend. It originated in India and Southeast Asia, where it’s now grown on large commercial plantations. It has long narrow leaves that carry a refreshing scent and it’s widely popular in a number of industries and traditions such as Ayurveda.

Lemongrass is rich in:

• citronellal,
• geraniol,
• flavonoids.

Tea packaging preview

We pack our teas in a strong, zip-lock aluminum packet which allows you to easily re-seal its contents. This container protects the quality of the tea against humidity, light or foreign odors, all of which could noticeably affect the quality of the brew.
