A General Overview of Tea for Health

A General Overview of Tea for Health 0

It is no wonder that Japan, a country with the highest life expectancy has a population that consumes tea on a regular basis. In fact, a pot of TEA is usually served during meals since tea-drinking is considered an integral part of Japanese lifestyle. It is no accident that they enjoy long lives and that many of them have beautiful flawless skin. After all, people say that “you are what you eat” and this is proven to be true since the Japanese consume large quantities of GREEN TEA which is known to have lots of antioxidants and nutrients that are essential in maintaining good health.

How does Damiana tea help stress and anxiety?

How does Damiana tea help stress and anxiety? 0

This morning I stayed in bed far longer than I should, felt even a bit worse after I got up, and then remembered I'd brought some Damiana tea back with me for the weekend 'just in case'. I drank that and after about 20 minutes, I felt about 70% better and could go outside for some lunch and do some shopping.

The reason I'm creating this article is due to the above as I delve a bit deeper into the mechanics behind Damiana Tea and how it works.

Turmeric with Black Pepper - Why?

Turmeric with Black Pepper - Why? 0

Turmeric and Black Pepper (often coupled with Ginger too) sounds like a bit of an unusual combination, but there's a good reason for this!

Ancient people were actually quite good at discovering that certain combinations of herbs worked better than by themselves, although I'm sure they didn't know why - and all without the help of modern science.

Siberian Chaga Mushroom - What is it and what are the benefits? 0

Chaga Mushroom Tea is actually quite difficult to find within Australia at times, along with finding it for a reasonable price! As one of the most expensive herbal teas around, what makes it so good and why are people willing to pay for this prized mushroom?

Lets take a look.

Bael fruit contains Vitamin C, Protein, Beta-carotene, Thiamine, and Ribovlavin.

How to Make Lotions From Tea and Herbs 0

I have one lovely customer recently telling me about how she has been making lotions and a few topical tonics from our teas, so I thought I'd put together a list of both her recipes and a few others too. Images have also been provided by our customer too, so they may look a little different to our usual style.

We will most likely be adding recipes here over time so be sure to check back once in awhile or even better - contact us to add your own!

Great tea and great service

The Teas are great taste and awesome quaility love drinking the night wish

Hi Leanne, thank you - this one was created as it's different to the rest of the other bedtime teas such as goodnight sleeping.
Another lovely mellow tea bloom

The yellow chrysanthemum bloom is very beautiful sitting on it's bed of green as this bloom opens into a slightly aniseed smelling tea at first, but when fully brewed tastes like a mellow silver needle tea that has a very subtle, fruity, sweet overtone. It's not overpowering or dominating in anyway and is very refreshing.

Hi Casey, thank you for your review! I really hope those samples have arrived....
Happy with my tea

Unable to purchase Decaf leaf tea from the supermarket It was refreshing to find that i could purchase this seemingly elusive product online at "Tea Life".
The service was excellent and the tea arrived promptly. I'm very happy with my tea purchase and would recommend this company. Many thanks Tea Life.

Hi Liz, thank you. We'd love to expand our decaf range actually but it's difficult to get a hold of. Hopefully this year will bring some new decaf teas!
