TEA INDIA’S NEW AYURVEDIC RANGE IS BRIGHTENIN­G UP TEA BREAKS WITH ITS DELICIOUS DOSHA-TAILORED BLENDS

-

We’ve come a long way from ‘milk and two sugars’… Tea drinking in the UK is as varied a part of our lives as the food we eat and the clothes we wear – from builder’s tea to herbal, to chai, loose leaf or bagged. As a response to tea drinkers’ growing interest in health and wellness, Tea India has created a new range of ayurvedic blends. Caffeine-free and delicious, each blend has been created to meet different needs and suit different doshas, with a little help from ayurvedic health practition­er Geeta Vara.

MEET THE BLENDS

Peace & Calm A soothing cuppa for the sleep deprived, this blend of camomile, peppermint, fennel, coriander and rose petal is an ideal bedtime tonic, best suited to those with a pitta dosha. Fennel is known for its ability to ease muscle tension, while camomile has a calming effect on your nervous system. And relax…

Harmony & Balance For those with a vata dosha, this blend of fennel, cinnamon, ginger and tulsi is specifical­ly blended to be kind to your digestive system and restore balance in the body. Tulsi is also called holy basil and is a prized herb in ayurvedic medicine.

Vitality & Energy Turmeric, tulsi, cinnamon and ginger create a warming blend to boost energy levels, aid digestion and circulatio­n. Just the thing for those with a kapha dosha, most likely to be in need of a little extra vitality.

IT BEGAN WITH CHAI

You may already know of fast-growing UK brand, Tea India, which launched five years ago with chai blends created by master blenders Jimmy Jal Medhora and Chirayu Borooah. Made with the finest assam and a blend of spices, the awardwinni­ng range includes four chai flavours: traditiona­l Masala, as well as Coconut, Cardamom and Ginger. Their new ayurvedic teas are just as lovingly crafted – moving away from black tea to introduce exciting herbal blends.
