Functional Tea

A natural way to boost your health

I’m always on the lookout for products that support health and wellness, especially the ones that are easy to incorporate into my routine. Functional teas are made by combining classic teas with other plants including herbs, roots and fruits, to address specific health concerns. Functional tea, a type of herbal tea, contains naturally active ingredients such as polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, volatile oils (otherwise known as essential oils), and alkaloids. Both ginger and peppermint tea support digestive health, and are examples of functional teas.
