Warm up with premium quality teas, appreciated by all lovers of full flavours and aromas
Why perceive teas as part of food?
We mostly perceive teas as mood enhancers, reaching for them when feeling cold, supplementing our regular fluid intake to prevent dehydration. But if you start thinking of them as beneficial food, your overall view on how they can work will change. First, it's good to begin by distinguishing between teas and fruit or herbal decoctions, infusions. Although teas are broadly talked about as anything you pour hot water over and let steep, correct terminology is important.
The term teas includes only products, either single-variety or blends with various herbs or fruit, but the main component is green, black, or white tea. Simply put, the infusion comes from tea leaves (Camellia sinensis). Perceiving teas and infusions as part of food and their targeted consumption to support health, better build immunity, improve skin condition, or even successfully manage weight loss can be a great helper for all those who want to do something for their body. Traditionally, they are consumed after meals for better digestion, before bedtime, or just for pleasure as a social occasion.
Teas are full of antioxidants and benefit the skin
Whether you choose white, green, or black tea, you can enjoy many health benefits. Not only do they support maintaining the body's energy reserves thanks to the powerful alkaloid theine content, but they also provide excellent amounts of antioxidants. The best sources are white teas, followed closely by green teas. Tea acts as a mild diuretic, promotes toxin elimination from the body, green tea is a suitable detox tool and supports successful fighting of urinary tract infections. Teas are also a sought-after part of skin, hair, and body care precisely because of their ability to combat the effects of free radicals connected with signs of premature skin ageing.
Fruit infusions have their own unique charm
Fruit teas are made from leaves, bark, dried fruits and peels. Often you will also find flowers in them, typically rose or hibiscus. Many fruit infusions have excellent vitamin C content. You can base your choice of fruit tea on its contents and use them according to how the individual components act. Blueberry aids digestion, blackcurrant is anti-stress, strawberry and kiwi boost the immune system. A big advantage of fruit infusions is that they can be consumed by people who, for some reason, do not want to drink teas containing theine, which effects are similar to caffeine.
You can enjoy them without worrying about falling asleep. They are suitable for children and pregnant women. If you focus on fruit blends containing citrus peels or red fruits, you provide the body with a good supply of vitamin C, which helps produce skin collagen and positively influences the reduction of skin colour irregularities. Very tasty fruit infusions do not contain components promoting alertness but provide many beneficial substances that help support an impenetrable immune system.
Why choose premium teas?
