Benefits of Yogi Tea

Yogi Tea is health promoting, delicious and soothing and a great coffee substitute. In the science of yogic foods the spices used are said to have the following properties:

  • Black pepper: blood purifier
  • Cardamom pods: digestive aid
  • Ginger root: healing for colds and flu, increases energy
  • Cinnamon: good for the bones

The milk in the tea helps in the easy assimilation of spices. A homeopathic dose of black tea acts as an alloy for all the ingredients, creating just the right chemical balance.
