My friend Salma and I are going to review some teas for you. I’ve been a lifelong tea fiend before I even got sick, and Selma has always been a tea fanatic as well. Teas are really great, especially if you are on a raw food diet, because they are warming, which is important quality for balance in Chinese medicine. Plus, the medicinal benefits has a long and rich history… and they’re delicious!
Hey guys, this is Salma– I have spent the past decade meandering through health food stores, tea, and herbal isles, farmers markets, and talking to healers of various backgrounds with the aim of finding better health. Right now we are drinking Dandy Blend Instant Herbal Beverage with Dandelion. If you crave coffee this is a really great substitute taste-wise, but it is 100% caffine free. It’s made from roasted barley, rye, chicory root, dandelion root and beetroot.My favorite right now is Sleepytime, because I make latte’s out of them. I add some honey and almond milk, and they taste awesome plus they are calming if you want something sweet at night…or in the morning. Tulsi tea is also a favorite of ours. It’s an adaptogen for your hormones, which is really great for your stress levels and immune system. I use Organic India Tulsi in Orginal, and Lauren gets the Peppermint combo, as well as loose leaves from Mountain Rose Herbs.
Another interesting post. I used to be a coffee drinker until I got poorly and went off of it. Now I drink decaf green tea, and occasionally hot chocolate. I have tried over the years different herbal teas, but always come back to green tea.
If you like green tea, you should check out white tea . Same leaf more antioxidants.
