Teasire Herbal Teas
If, like me, you loved David Suchet's brilliant portrayal of Belgian detective Hercule Poirot in the 90's, you will remember that one of his sacrosanct daily habits was to drink a cup of hot tisane every afternoon. I have adopted this practice to boost my water intake (which I neglected for years), and now drink up to 8 cups a day with a touch of honey. So I'm always happy to find a new brand to add variety to my cuppas.
These herbal mixtures are as natural as can be, actually bits of stems and chunks of flowers and spices, simply packaged in clear plastic, inside a pretty cardboard tube. When I opened the first one I thought there wasn't much there, but then I did some weighing. There are 50 grams in each package and a flat teaspoonful is all you need for a cup, that's 2.5 grams. So, according to my usage, you can make 20 cups of fairly strong tisane with the contents of a package; and they are sold in sets of two, so 40 cups. Given the high quality, purity and great taste, I think that's very reasonable.

Balance Me!
|
|
This particular blend is called Balance Me! The ingredients are: lemongrass, rooibos, licorice, lavender and fennel. I love the taste, it's spicy, fresh and herbal with that delicious flowery touch from the lavender. I drink this blend in the evening, and any time I need a relaxing and soothing hot brew.

Body Cure (Slim Me! and Detox Me!)
|
|
|
This combo is called Body Cure (Slim Me and Detox Me); there is also one called Soul Cure (Boost Me and Balance Me). I normally shy away from detox preparations, but I read the ingredients and liked what was included: lemongrass, nettle leaf, ginger, licorice, fennel, anise. The taste is very fresh and herbal, and I love anything with ginger and anise, so I find this one great.
The Slim Me mix is: green tea (gunpowder), lemongrass, mate and peppermint. With two caffeine-rich ingredients (green tea and mate), this one gives me an invigorating boost but has a slightly bitter taste that requires more honey. I drink this in the morning and switch to the detox mix later in the day. |

Both varieties taste very fresh, and have a much more lively flavour than some tisanes in bags, where the contents are almost like powder and definitely not so intriguing.
