ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS

Kangra Green Tea

Kangra Green Tea has especially high concentrations of catechins and polyphenols like EGCG and EGC that act as potent anti-oxidants that prevent cellular damage caused by free radicals in our bodies. Though catechins have been found in other plants derivatives such as grapes and pomegranates, those found in tea have proven to be the most effective antioxidants known. Additionally, research suggests that catechins like EGCG may reduce inflammation, aid in weight loss, prevent certain chronic conditions related to heart and brain health, and have strong anti-microbial action.

Cardamom

Cardamom is a beautifully aromatic and refreshing spice, with sattvic qualities that help to sharpen and refresh the mind, and normalize the energy flows within your body. It is a gentle yet effective digestive stimulant in addition to having diuretic properties. A spice native to Kerala, cardamom also helps stimulate circulation, induce sound sleep, stimulate the appetite, and freshen your breath.  Cardamom is known to lower blood pressure and aids in weight loss because of its diuretic properties. Antioxidants in cardamom protect cells from damage and prevent inflammation in your body. Because of its aroma and flavour, digestive properties and various health benefits, cardamom is a mainstay for many of our spice blends as well as Ayurvedic wellness teas such as Ayurvedic Morning Blend, Cardamom Green Tea, Masala Chai (Himalayan Thunderstorm), Heart Healthy Tea, Masala Green Tea, Maharaja Oolong Tea, Saffron Cardamom Green Tea, Shatavari Rasayana (Women's Wellness Blend), The Breathe Better Blend, The Trijata (Three Aromatics) Blend, and the Winter Christmas Tea.  

Cinnamon

Cinnamon, an aromatic, sweet spice, is found in most kitchens around the world. It helps warm the body, promote digestion, absorption and metabolism. An ancient herb, known to us for many centuries, cinnamon is a delicious spice which is used for flavouring cooking and baking. Cinnamon is also loaded with antioxidants, such as polyphenols which protect the body, and also have anti-inflammatory properties. As an expectorant for treating sinus, chest congestions or common cold, cinnamon is an essential ingredient in many warming teas. As a sattvic spice, it is also excellent for improving resistance to stress, fatigue and low spirits, tension and anxiety, and headaches and toothaches, making it almost a universal panacea. Cinnamon enhances the effectiveness of insulin, thus helping lower blood sugar levels and improving diabetes - related conditions. Rich in magnesium, cinnamon is especially useful for women as it also helps maintain bone density and hormone balance, and is often helpful for conditions pertaining to PMS, irregular or heavy and painful periods.
