Sometimes there is just nothing better than a nice hot cup of herbal tea to fix anything. It is actually the combination of plants, herbs and flowers that work together to create these magical healing potions. We have teamed up with Anna from Edible Beauty to explain how these 9 very special blends work

St Mary’s Thistle and Dandelion Root are the super herbs in this blend. They work in three ways- to assist and enhance the function of the kidneys and liver in flushing accumulated toxins, to repair the liver cells from previous damage done and to protect the liver from future assaults. This tea also contains ginger which is the perfect digestive aid and has been shown to alleviate oxidative stress within the liver, which ultimately helps to support the liver in its cleansing action. Green tea which forms the base of this tea is rich in catechin antioxidants (ECGC) which are potent antioxidants known for their ability to ramp up the body’s metabolism and enhance weight loss. Lemon grass and ginger provide this tea with a refreshing and uplifting flavour which mask the medicinal properties of the herbal superstars in the mix.

No. 2 Fountain of Youth Tea


If turning back time is your focus then you need to be frequently sipping from the Fountain of Youth tea blend. This tisane contains a synergy of unique and potent antioxidants including white tea, goji berries, pomegranates and hibiscus to name just a few. Hibiscus has been used as a traditional remedy in many Asian, African and Caribbean countries for years. Hibiscus is high antioxidants, which fight cellular damage and support the immune system. The natural chemicals in hibiscus also are known to benefit cardiovascular health and increase energy production. Goji berries are true superstar berries of this tea blend. They contain all essential amino acids, are rich in antioxidants & vitamin C, have the highest carotenoids than any other food and have twenty-one trace minerals. Herbalists in China, Tibet and India have used the berries for thousands of years for increasing longevity. This tisane also contains the fruit ’superstars’ of anti-ageing, Papaya and Pineapple, which are abundant in natural Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHA’s) and regularly feature in many anti-aging skin formulas. Papaya also contains papain, a natural enzyme that promotes skin renewal and cell turnover to provide an all over glow.
