The Kardashians love it, so does Mick Jagger – tea and its amazing health benefits
The humble brew is full of antioxidants and health benefits for the mind, body and soul, as tea experts at Tafelgut and Inari reveal
Whether you are a tea snob who prizes only most authentic blends and best tea leaves in the world, or a tea aficionado who is most adventurous with innovative and creative cocktails for tea, you will definitely benefit from drinking tea.
Full of antioxidants and healing properties, tea is an age-old remedy for the mind, body and soul – yes that is right – but it has to be done right!
We asked two tea producers, German company Tafelgut, which has opened a Hong Kong shop in Cityplaza, Tai Koo Shing, and Inari Tea, with an office in Mid-Levels, Hong Kong, for their expert advice.
Herbal teas in general can be great for unwinding and camomile has long been enjoyed for the sedative properties held in the camomile flower’s leaves, which serve to soothe and relax
Maitland Murray, of Inari Tea, said: “Tea has a plethora of benefits and so many teas will have positive effects on your body.”
While German tea producer Tafelgut creates some of the most whimsical blends available will suit any occasion or season – think Cheesecake Cherry Tea and Yoga Tea, with pepper as one of its ingredients – Inari’s focus is more on sourcing the most authentic teas from around the world – think mainland China, Japan, India, Sri Lanka and Taiwan – which produce the world’s best tea leaves.
Staff from these two tea brands suggested what we should drink when we face different concerns – from insomnia to indigestion – to find classic, tried and tested remedies using some of the best tea leaves.
Even if you are not a tea connoisseur, you could still benefit from avant-garde blends, such as those produced by Tafelgut.
The tea producers have served up their best recommendations so you can have your tea and drink it – and feel its amazing benefits.
