Ayurveda
In Ayurvedic medicine, a traditional Indian healing art, the balance of body, mind and spirit is regulated by the three "doshas" - Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These doshas represent different aspects of our physical and mental constitution and are crucial to our health and well-being.
Vata, the element of space and air, represents movement and change. People with a dominant Vata dosha are often creative and full of energy, but can also be prone to nervousness and restlessness. Ayurvedic teas for Vata types often contain calming herbs and spices such as chamomile, fennel or liquorice to calm the nervous system and aid digestion.
Pitta represents the element of fire and to a lesser extent water. It represents metabolic processes and warmth. Pitta-dominant people are often intelligent and passionate, but can also be prone to anger or frustration. Cooling herbs and spices such as mint, rose petals or fennel are often part of tea blends for Pitta types to soothe inner fire and promote a balanced state.
Kapha combines the elements of earth and water and stands for structure and stability. People with predominant kapha are often loving and steady, but tend to feel sluggish or put on weight. Stimulating herbs and spices such as ginger, cinnamon or black pepper are typical ingredients in tea blends for Kapha types to aid digestion and provide energy.
Our category of Ayurvedic teas offers a wide range of tea blends to suit the specific needs of each dosha. Each blend is carefully selected to promote balance and well-being, whether your predominant dosha is Vata, Pitta or Kapha. Enjoy a cup of these healing teas and experience the harmonising effects of Ayurvedic herbs and spices on your body and mind.
Ayurvedic teas and chai are more than just a stimulant. They are an integral part of Ayurvedic practice, which aims to promote a balance between body, mind and spirit. The carefully selected herbs and spices in these blends have specific health benefits ranging from improving digestion to strengthening the immune system and promoting mental clarity.
The spice blends in this category are rich in flavours and offer a sensory experience. For example, a blend containing turmeric may offer a warm, earthy sweetness, while a blend containing cardamom or cinnamon may be sweet yet spicy. Each blend has its own distinctive flavour and health benefits that make it unique.
Despite their deep roots in the Ayurvedic tradition, these spice blends have gained worldwide recognition and are now enjoyed in many different cultures. They offer a simple and delicious way to incorporate the principles of Ayurvedic nutrition into everyday life while enjoying a cup of hot, soothing tea.
This category of Ayurvedic spice blends is versatile and can be enjoyed plain as an herbal tea or blended with black tea and milk to make a tasty chai. Regardless of how you prepare them, they offer a soothing and healthy addition to your daily routine.
