Basil - good for digestion, prevent motion sickness, relieves headaches and hepls to recover from triedness

Thyme - reduce water-retention, antibacteria, reduce flam, relieves headaches

Lavender - relieves mucsle stiffness, relieves indigestion, insommia, relieves headaches, anti-bacteria, reduce bad breath.

Mint - Good for digestion, helps to recover from triedness( Do not drink larger quantity or long period of time, may cause gastric problem.)

Chamomile - insommia, helps in low blood pressure, relieves pain, good for digestion(Bloating, Gastric Gas)

Sage - antioxidant, anti-acid, anti-bacterial, whitening teeth

LemonBalm - claming, anti-depression, good for digestion, insommia

Rose - Beauty(Vitamin C), relieves headaches, better sleep

Jasmine - consitpation, anti-depression, relieves tummyache

My lastest found is Lipton Cranberry & Straberry Teabags so refreshing.

Make Tea :
* Read and follow the instruction on the package closely.
* Warm the Tea pot and cup
* Use 2g or 1 teaspoon for a cup of tea
* Use Hot water 90 - 95 degree C.
* Put tea leaves or bags in the warm tea pot, pour in the hot water, cover and let it simmer for 3 - 5 min.
* 1st brew 3 min, 2nd brew 7 min, 3rd brew 10min or more
* person with cold hands and feets should drink warm tea
* person having fever should drink at a cooler temperture.
* pregnant woman do not drink herbal tea

Normally i drink Lipton Tea with milk and sugar, Japanese Green Tea, Japanese Green Tea with brown rice or Chinese Black Tea (Pu Er), these tea are famous for the anti-oxidant, good for blood cholestrols, digestion and etc
But i only drink them just because i just love them.

i am a tea addict.
i cant live without tea.
but have no idea about herba tea.
i always have the general tea which comes in the market with leaves.
i like adding ginger, basil or cardamom to enhance the flavour.

recently tried Harney & Sons "Royal English Breakfast, Indian black tea.  They have many different flavors.  I really like this stuff although it is so expensive!

The herbal blend tea of The Herbal Tea Shop is a drinker's delight, even to those who say they don't like herbal blend tea. We have custom blended our blend tea until we have just reached the right mixture of herbs and spices for drinking enjoyment.

Herbal teas are naturally caffeine free, so caffeine is not an issue when consuming this type of tea. The concern with consuming herbal teas during pregnancy is the lack of data available on most herbs and their effects on a developing fetus.

Herbal teas can be made with fresh or dried flowers, leaves, seeds or roots, generally by pouring boiling water over the plant parts and letting them steep for a few minutes. Seeds and roots can also be boiled on a stove. The tisane is then strained, sweetened if so desired, and served.

Green tea may not be a delicacy as strong black tea, but it is packed with loads of health benefits. Why not give it a try?
