Tea is riding on a wave of popularity and with good reason! It has become an increasingly versatile and healthy, modern beverage - it’s so much more than just the regular tea with milk you may start your day with when you fancy a change from coffee.

There are herbal teas, fruit-infused teas, spiced teas, green tea, white tea… the list goes on and on! Tea can provide a number of health benefits too, and certain teas, such as green tea, can offer a great boost to your mental focus and energy levels also. For instance, in terms of weight loss, green tea can help improve your metabolism; it also contains a number of anti-oxidant properties and is far more potent than black tea.
 

So… Which tea is best?

Tea has been a popular beverage since ancient times. Throughout centuries, particularly in China and Japan, rituals have been crafted involving the simple, calming and hearty process of drinking tea.

There are so many health benefits of tea so it’s tricky to establish what may suit you best. But what is almost certain is that tea is good for you! Here’s a look at a few teas and their amazing benefits to your health and well being!
 

Black Tea

Black tea contains the highest amount of caffeine. It is the most popular, or widely consumed of all the varieties of tea. The tea leaves are oxidized which gives them their dark color, and stronger flavor. Black tea can help you to become more “heart-healthy” and improve your circulation, it is also jammed full of anti-oxidants to help boost your overall well being. Black tea can also help you to relax and alleviate stress… so the next time you feel a little overwhelmed, try a cup of Darjeeling or earl grey.

Green Tea

Green tea is becoming well-known as “healthy tea”. It does not go through the oxidization process and so it’s thought of as a more natural concentration and potent tea. The tea leaves are dried and rolled once harvested. Matcha is a green tea that is made by grinding the green tea leaves into a fine powder- thereby enhancing its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. The anti-oxidant properties of green tea are thought to improve brain function and alertness due to the presence of EGCG (a highly potent anti-oxidant). Green tea helps to fight free radicals that can cause aging, impaired cognitive function, and degenerative diseases. If you are feeling mentally low or fatigued, green tea can help offer you a much needed mental boost.

White Tea

White tea is the least processed and natural tea. It’s only just recently becoming more well-known and consumed for its health benefits. It is more delicate in flavor than black or green teas but that doesn’t mean it’s less powerful. White tea can help to prevent damage by free radicals, and it is also a potent anti-inflammatory. It’s lower in caffeine content than green tea and yet still matches it on its benefits to brain function and mental focus. This tea is much paler in color and with a sweeter taste, so if you like a subtler taste to your tea- try Ceylon White, White Darjeeling, Silver Needle or White Peony

There are more teas to explore, such as Oolong tea and the many infusions that add even more beauty to the basic cup of black tea!

Among their wide range of wellness teas, here is some info on Turmeric and Matcha Teas by Tipson Tea. Their collection includes blends and infusions to aid better sleep, boost your immune system, improve digestion and detox.

Turmeric is known as “The Golden Spice”. It is the brilliant yellow spice ground from the root of an exotic flowering plant in the ginger family.

Turmeric has been cultivated on the Indian subcontinent for centuries; its roots contain the active ingredient curcumin, which is known to promote healthy digestion and is widely renowned as a powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant. The bioactive compounds found in turmeric contain powerful medicinal properties that fight inflammation at a cellular level. This means it can aid in easing the symptoms of inflammatory conditions such as Arthritis.

When organically cultivated, the root offers a number of health benefits. These include helping as an anti-oxidant against free radicals and improving your immune system. The anti-oxidant properties found in the compounds not only block damage from free radicals, but they also enhance your body’s own anti-oxidant capabilities. This tea is both delicious and potent, and all in a caffeine-free and organic tea! Tipson ensures its natural and organic flavorings are of the highest quality, so you know you’re getting all the healthful benefits this powerful root has provided faithful drinkers across many centuries. 

Tipson’s flavorful organic turmeric tea collection is a great pick-me-up and a healthy alternative to caffeinated beverages like coffee and black tea! 

Available on Amazon now in Peppermint & Clove, Chamomile, Ginger & Cinnamon, Ginger & Lemon, Peach & Moringa, and Vanilla & Cinnamon flavors.

For all of you Matcha lovers we have something special too! Enjoyed for many centuries in Ancient Japan, Matcha is a concentrated green tea made from the whole tea leaf ground into a powder. Matcha is a superior version of green tea in terms of its health benefits and anti-oxidant properties. In fact, one cup of concentrated Matcha contains as many anti-oxidants as around 10 cups of green tea- how amazing is that?! 

Matcha teas are expertly blended into a collection of delicious teas that are as invigorating as they are good for you!

Matcha is becoming a modern go-to healthful pick-me-up among busy, high-achieving people because not only is it trusted to improve concentration, focus, energy and mood levels, it delivers loads of anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber too. It can also help to boost your metabolism and balance blood sugar levels.

With all these benefits and half the caffeine of regular black coffee, it’s no wonder it’s become the healthy choice alternative for so many people around the world. Better still, Tipson Tea’s tea experts blend a perfectly balanced selection of natural spices into the organic Matcha powder. This means that every cup is an exotic and refreshing experience!
