Spice tea for Christmas

Spicy tea during the festive feast is a great way to help digest heavy foods.

My top 5 spice teas are:

1) ginger 

2) black pepper

3) clove

4) cardamon

5) lemon

All these spices are great as a tisane or blended with Assam tea leaves making a great spice chai.

    

Masala Chai

 

I love my masala chai : fresh with whole spices with an organic Assam black tea leaves.

What's up with Tulsi? 7 reasons why you should take Tulsi.

1. Healing Power: Next to Lotus, Holy Basil or Tulsi is the most sacred plant in India. The tulsi plant has many medicinal properties.

2. Stress: Tulsi leaves are regarded as an 'adaptogen' or anti-stress agent.  It is recommended  that one should chew 7 to 10 leaves daily to prevent stress.

3. Pure : Tulsi has the quality of Sattva( purity) opening the heart and mind, bestowing the energy of love and devotion. 

4. Holy: Tulsi known as holy basil - gives the protection of the divine by clearing auras and strengthening the immune system. The stem of tulsi plants are worn as rosaries.

5: Cleansing the home: it absorbs positive ions, and energizes negative ions.

6: Coughs: Tulsi is an important constituent of many Ayurvedic cough syrups and expectorants. It helps to mobilize mucus in bronchitis and asthma.  Drinking tulsi tea relieves cold and flu. It removes excess kapha from the lungs.

7: For all you Vatas: Tulsi removes high vata from colon, improves absorption and strengthens the nerve tissue....increasing memory. 

As an Ayurvedic Teaologist my best selling tisane has been Rumi's Blend. Base notes organic tulsi and peppermint combined rose, Australian lemon myrtle and blue cornflower petal.  It's now been prescribed by Ayurvedic Practitioners as a support tea for stress, adrenal fatigue, skin disorders and overall balance.

Tea Ritual - Ayurvedic way

Tea Ritual

My daily tea ritual involves:

- choosing a great loose leaf tea or tisane

- using fresh water for my base

- going through my teapot /cup collection and making a choice

- preparing the tea blend

- silently waiting till the my tea has brewed. For herbal infusions normally 4/5 minutes, black tea 3 minutes, green tea less then 3 minutes. 

- pouring my tea and consciously awaking my senses.

- lastly taking my time and sipping my tea.
