Tea Review on DigestTea Cilantro Papaya
DigestTea Cilantro Spearmint Papaya
Stomach soothing, digestive Support, gentle enough for children.
- Type Of leaves:Herbal Tisane
- Name Of Tea:DigestTea Cilantro Papaya
- Available From:Raizana Teas
This is one of the most unique and best-tasting herbal tea blends I’ve encountered in a very long time. This is a very special tea, because not only is it a uniquely flavored yet delicious herbal infusion, but it also genuinely helps to soothe your stomach!
I myself have a lot of digestive problems, from GERB and IBS to diverticulosis and a hiatal hernia. However, I have found that drinking certain herbal tea blends has been able to help a little with some of those problems. This particular DigestTea from Raizana Teas is one of the best teas which has helped with my stomach when it is sour or feeling particularly bad.
When I first read the ingredients, I was already powerfully attracted to this blend. Cilantro Papaya is very unique, and I’d never seen this combination of ingredients before but it sounded absolutely delightful! When I opened the package, a heavenly aroma wafted out, filled with tropical papaya, light herbs and a pleasantly minty undertone. I was in love from the first smell!
As I mentioned above, this herbal infusion really has helped to settle my stomach more than once, and the flavor is exceptional. In fact, I think just about anyone would enjoy the flavors in this tea, even children! It is VERY refreshing and light, with subtle flavors of berries and herbs. I have never found a tea like this anywhere else, and this is one I would keep in my tea stash at all times.
It also helped me with my nausea several times, so I would recommend this tea as a general stomach tonic, as well as an after-dinner tea, or anytime you would love to enjoy the fresh, crisp flavor presented in this tea with herbs and fruit. The flavor profile is so unique that it is extremely difficult to describe, but it overall presents a flavor which is soothing, refreshing, and delightful. All of the ingredients really blend together harmoniously in this blend.
I added a touch of sweetener to it, and prefer to take it like that, however it can also be enjoyed plain without any added sweetener due to the natural sweetness provided by the Stevia leaves in it. Do not add milk as it would certainly overpower the subtle flavors and herbaceous feel of this tea. My favorite tea from Raizana Teas!

A Home-Brewed Cup of Tea Has 20 Times the Healthy Stuff of Most Bottled Teas
If you turn to tea for a healthy dose of antioxidants, keep in mind that the antioxidants, or polyphenols, found in commercially bottled tea is up to 20 times less than you’ll find in home-brewed tea.

Research presented at a meeting of the American Chemical Society points out:
“Consumers understand very well the concept of the health benefits from drinking tea or consuming other tea products,” said Shiming Li, Ph.D., who reported on the new study with Professor Chi-Tang Ho and his colleagues. “However, there is a huge gap between the perception that tea consumption is healthy and the actual amount of the healthful nutrients – polyphenols – found in bottled tea beverages. Our analysis of tea beverages found that the polyphenol content is extremely low.” (more…)

Milk Thistle: Be Good to Your Liver
Milk thistles are thistles of the genus Silybum Adans., flowering plants of the daisy family (Asteraceae). They are native to the Mediterranean regions of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The name “milk thistle” derives from two features of the leaves: they are mottled with splashes of white and they contain a milky sap. However, it is the seeds of milk thistle that herbalists have used for 2000 years to treat chronic liver disease and protect the liver against toxins. (more…)

BOSTON, August 22, 2010 — The first measurements of healthful antioxidant levels in commercial bottled tea beverages has concluded that health-conscious consumers may not be getting what they pay for: healthful doses of those antioxidants, or “poylphenols,” that may ward off a range of diseases.
