We have taken on this wonderful tea to compliment the range that we carry at our Mind Body and Spirit Shows. I suspect that it’s going to be a real winner. I also suspect that it’s going to be very popular with our on-line customers as well. Seven ingredients go to make this wonderful drink, 79% Yunnan Pu-Erh, obviously, to which has been blended Cinnamon, Liquorice, Ginger, Sandalwood, Cloves and for a beautiful effect Thistle flower petal. This tea is actually blended in China, in Yunnan Province. They have I believe used the Saffron Thistle petals, a red colour rather than our traditional purple/blue thistle heads. It is related more to the Safflower and is sometimes called Downy Safflower.
The aroma is delightful and definitely Chai like in its smell. It has a lovely taste and at the same time is very healthy for you. Cinnamon is full of antioxidants, may help Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, lowers blood sugar levels. Liquorice helps with digestive issues and menopausal symptoms. Ginger may possibly be good for blood pressure and digestion, and Sandalwood may also be good for digestion and blood pressure. This really is a lovely cuppa.
It goes without saying that if you're pregnant (or are under the doctor for anything) caution should be exercised with herbal decoctions.
