Evidence based
Looking for a multi-tasking tonic to kick-start your day? We think we’ve found it!
Nobody is perfect, and every now and then the gradual slide into unhealthy lifestyle choices (or even just a weekend of going overboard!) can leave your body craving a good restart. Most of us can tell when we’ve reached that point — you’ll probably wake up with a dry mouth and your digestive system may feel sluggish and bloated. That’s when you know it’s time to take a warming tea tonic!
The base of this awesome drink is made from our revitalizing organic Sencha, bringing you sustained energy and supported gut health, as well as a blast of antioxidants. Add to that a generous pinch of turmeric and a dose of apple cider vinegar, and you know that this drink is going to do you good.
This tea contains caffeine, so it is best enjoyed in the mornings to give your body a natural, healthy boost before a long day.
The Power of Sencha
We’re very proud of our award-winning [1] organic green Sencha. It’s the perfect tea, being packed full of polyphenols that support the body’s natural ability to revitalize itself.
Why We Love Apple Cider Vinegar
One of the reasons that this awesome tonic stands out from your regular cup of morning green tea is the addition of apple cider vinegar (ACV), which fully deserves its growing reputation as a leading health food. Apple cider vinegar is apple juice that has been allowed to ferment. It has been used in folk medicine for thousands of years, has prebiotic properties and can even help to balance your body’s natural pH levels.
Tasting Notes
But how does it taste? We’re happy to say it tastes delicious and is the ideal way of getting your daily dose of ACV and turmeric, which can otherwise be quite tricky to incorporate into your diet. The grassy notes of the Sencha and the calming honey are the perfect foil for the health-boosting vinegar and turmeric. Topped with a slice of fresh lemon to bring it all together, this stuff is good health in a warm mug. What better way to start your day? Enjoy!
