4 Mid-Day Comfort/Digestion

Midday is a high pitta time where our

gastric juices and our body heat are high.

After lunch, Pitta Balance Tea offers the

cooling, comforting and settling energies to

the stomach with digestive refreshing mint

and cinnamon. Amla, Indian gooseberry,

and marigold flower petals with a touch of

liquorice is a clever pitta balancing formula

to support good digestion.

5 End Of Day/Wind Down

As you approach the end of the day, the

vata dosha – the stress factor – is raised as

you feel tired from the day’s work. You need

a wind down. The Ayurvedic Vata Balance

Tea does just that. Sweet chamomile flowers

and the ayurvedic herb, Brahmi, calm the

nerves as the gentle flavours of ginger,

hibiscus and sweet orange give you a

soothing feeling.

Functional Teas/Slimming

If you are on a weight loss programme, try

the Ayurvedic Slimming Tea with garcinia,

green tea and turmeric with moringa and

long pepper – all powerful herbs. Garcinia

is rich in HCA- Hydroxycitric acid; the

curcuminoid in turmeric and the catechins in

green tea enhance fat metabolism aided by

the digestive effect of long pepper.

3 Post-Yoga/Detox
After a yoga work out, this is a time for
detox: the ama nirama phase. Ama means
toxin, the undigested foods, free radicals
and metabolic waste collecting in the body
which needs to be detoxified by the liver and
excreted by the gut, kidney and sweat from
the skin. Nirama means ‘free from toxins’;
the accumulated toxins in the body from the
day’s lifestyle, work, and diet would need
cleansing. For this, try our unique detox tea

• the delicious tasting and effective Turmeric
  Detox Tea – made from turmeric, green tea
  and Indian gooseberry (amla) with dandelion,
  ginger, black pepper, and lemon peel.
  Turmeric is the ultimate detoxifying herb with
