Spicy Turmeric and Fruity Orange Teas - Tempting New Choices from The Real Tea Company

This week, Tea-Direct.co.uk has added two healthy and energising organic turmeric teas and a delicious fruity blood orange tisane to its ever-growing range of quality loose-leaf teas.

Turmeric has been used for medicinal purposes in Asia for thousands of years, and is appreciated worldwide today for its many health benefits. Its main component, curcumin, is known to have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Organic Turmeric Chai Herbal Tea is a wonderful blend of turmeric root pieces with warming chai spices, liquorice and black pepper. Black pepper contains the compound piperine that, combined with turmeric, helps boost the absorption of curcumin in the body for maximum benefit. A healthy and invigorating tea.

Blood Orange Fruit Tea is a thirst-quenching refresher, with its combination of slightly tart and sweet citrusy flavours. This mix of orange and lemon peel, rose hips, apple, hibiscus and safflower blossoms looks attractive and, when infused, releases a delightful aroma that will bring you sunshine on the dullest of days.

Organic Turmeric Root Herbal Tea is a more basic turmeric tea for those who prefer the pure flavour of this rich and soothing, health-giving herb. Made with organic turmeric root pieces, it makes a bright, warming beverage that can be enjoyed on its own or with the addition of milk, honey or lemon.

As well as being healthy and refreshing, all of these teas are caffeine-free, so are good to drink at any time of day.
