GO TO BAOPALS

With so many teas in the sea, how do I know which tea is for me? As someone who has about 30 types of tea in the cupboard at any given time, I like to think of myself as a bit of a teaspert. So what is the first thing to consider when choosing a tea? Well firstly, what health benefits are you after? Secondly is of course, the flavor. I must warn you though, some of the teas with the best benefits are often the teas that are... let's just say... an acquired taste. However, even these teas can be mixed with other delicious floral or fruit teas to create a more desirable flavor with all the benefits. If you are into more traditionally western type teas, we also have a selection just for you.

The teas listed here are just the tip of the iceberg. There are many more to try, but these are a great way to begin your tea journey.

Dandelion leaf tea is great for water retention, as it is a diuretic. It is also said to aid liver function, help with weight-loss and ease the symptoms of a UTI.

Lipton Jasmine Tea, 25 Teabags

Another tea packed with anti-oxidants, with possible health benefits like weight-loss, improved brain function, lowered risk of type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. I find jasmine tea to be highly aromatic with strong flavor, so use it sparingly.

Red raspberry leaf tea is great for woman. It really balances your hormones and helps prevent hormonal break-outs, PMS and heavy cramping. I have a cup a day and swear by it. It's also great for the last trimester of pregnancy to help soften the cervix. However, I would suggest asking your doctor before consuming this tea while pregnant.

While teas are amazing and may have many health benefits, there are possible side effects. Please be sure to consult with your doctor if you are on any medication or have any pre-existing health conditions before drinking herbal teas.
