Morning cup
DetoxT
Mostly lotus leaf and cassia seed
Cassia seed gives it this faintly toasty thing going on. Light though. A nice one to wake up to.

A bit of background
Herbal tea, the Chinese way
In China, a lot of herbal tea isn't really tea at all. Not a tea leaf in sight, half the time. It's flowers, dried fruit, the odd seed or root. Most families have their own mix too. Grandma's after-dinner one, the summer one, the one for when everyone's ratty at bedtime. You'll find hawthorn and dried citrus peel in loads of kitchen cupboards over there.
Our teas are built the same way. Gentle, everyday herbs, the sort you could drink every day without thinking twice. They're not meant to be strong. Think of them as a nicer habit than another coffee.

Two bags of any tea for £1.50. Cheaper than a coffee, and you'll know straight away if it's your sort of thing.

What tea drinkers say
"Tastes just amazing and lasts several brews. My favourite tea now!"
"Perfect for a brew in the morning with little mint"
"I am so glad that my Acupuncturist recommended them to me!"
Are your herbal teas caffeine-free?
DigestiveT, DetoxT, FocusT and HappyT are, yes. Fei Yan isn't, because it's made with oolong, so we'd keep that one to daytime.
What's the best tea for bloating?
Lots of people reach for something warm with citrus peel or peppermint after a heavy meal, which is why DigestiveT and FocusT get picked a lot. They're nice teas rather than a treatment though. If bloating hangs around, it's worth a chat with your GP.
Go on then, do detox teas work?
We'll be straight with you, your liver and kidneys are doing the actual detox. What a light tea like DetoxT does is give you a warm, caffeine-free habit that makes it easier to eat and drink a bit better. That's no bad thing.
How many cups a day?
Two or three is plenty for most people. They're gentle, but there's no prize for drinking ten.
Can I drink them when pregnant?
Check with your midwife or GP first. FocusT has liquorice in it, and a few of the herbs in the others aren't usually recommended in pregnancy.
How many cups in a box?
Twenty bags, so twenty cups. Bit more if you're the type who reuses a bag. We won't judge.
