What are the key flavour notes?
A kaleidoscope of palates, this blend truly packs a punch when it comes to flavour. The earthy, aromatic turmeric contrasts well with the zingy flavours of the ginger, combining seamlessly with the lemongrass which provides a more refreshing undertone to the blend. This fusion of flavours, mixed with various herbs and spices, creates a tangy, citrusy caffeine-free tea that will still perk up your day.
What are the benefits of the ingredients?
The ingredients of this blend possess many useful health benefits and have historically been key ingredients used in herbal medicine.
A flowering plant of the ginger family, turmeric is widely considered to be great for your health, largely because of the main active ingredient: curcumin. The ingredient is a natural anti-inflammatory – research has linked low-levels of inflammation with a lower chance of developing diseases such as cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s. Various studies have also shown that the ingredient shows promise in treating depression.
Lemongrass also possesses deeply beneficial health benefits. Much like turmeric, lemongrass contains various inflammation-fighting compounds, making lemongrass a useful thing to incorporate into your diet. Research has also suggested that lemongrass can help promote healthy digestion, reduce constipation and ease nausea – the perfect ingredient to set you up for the day.
Ginger is among the tastiest and healthiest spices on the planet. Native to Asia, the plant has widely been used within herbal medicine alongside its role as a spice. This comes to no surprise, including ginger within your diet can offer numerous psychological and physical health benefits. The spice has been found within research to drastically lower blood sugar levels and decrease heart disease risk factors such as by lowering cholesterol, as well as lowering oxidative stress that acts towards age-related cognitive decline.
