Health benefits of The Botanical Brothers' Green Tea Chai and Masala Spice Tea:
Rich in Antioxidants: Green tea is one of the healthiest beverages on the planet, packed with antioxidants and nutrients that offer powerful health benefits. These include improved brain function, enhanced fat burning, a lower risk of heart disease, and a reduced likelihood of developing cancer. Its high levels of catechins also support liver health, help regulate blood sugar, and contribute to improved cholesterol levels. Additionally, green tea has been shown to enhance mood, protect brain cells from aging, and may even support longevity.
Detoxifier: Nutmeg is a potent detoxifier, especially beneficial for kidney health, as it helps eliminate toxins from the body. It is also known for its pain-relieving properties, particularly for joint pain and inflammation. Nutmeg can improve sleep quality and combat insomnia due to its mild sedative effects. It may also promote healthy digestion, relieve bloating, and enhance cognitive function by reducing mental fatigue and stress.
Supports Digestion: Cardamom is widely used to address a variety of digestive issues, including heartburn, intestinal spasms, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), diarrhea, and constipation. It also supports liver and gallbladder health and can stimulate appetite. Cardamom has anti-inflammatory properties and is known to reduce blood pressure. Additionally, it has antibacterial effects that promote oral health, reducing bad breath and improving gum health.
Immune System Support: Though small, cloves are a powerhouse for digestion, promoting healthy digestion and relieving stomach issues such as gas and bloating. Cloves have antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, making them excellent for immune support. They can also help regulate blood sugar levels and have been used to alleviate tooth pain and inflammation due to their numbing effect.
Muscle Pain Relief: Ginger is revered for its wide array of medicinal properties. It effectively reduces muscle pain, soreness, and inflammation, making it ideal for post-exercise recovery. It’s commonly used to relieve nausea, including morning sickness and motion sickness. Ginger also helps suppress appetite, aiding in weight loss, and is known to improve digestion, reduce bloating, and regulate blood sugar levels. Additionally, it may lower cholesterol and help fight infections.
Remedy for digestive issues: Star anise is a natural remedy for digestive issues, helping to alleviate cramps, reduce nausea, and improve digestion. Drinking star anise tea after meals can relieve bloating, gas, indigestion, and constipation. It also has antibacterial and antifungal properties, making it useful in fighting infections. Star anise is rich in antioxidants and may support immune health and respiratory function.
Promotes intestinal health: Black pepper is rich in potassium, which enhances digestive function and promotes intestinal health. As a carminative, it helps prevent the formation of gas in the intestines and reduces bloating. Black pepper also stimulates the breakdown of fat cells, supporting weight loss. Its active compound, piperine, improves the absorption of nutrients and may help reduce inflammation, lower cholesterol, and boost brain function. Black pepper is also known for its antioxidant properties, helping to combat free radicals in the body.

Ignite your energy levels with our invigorating Roasted Yerba Mate and Chai Spice Mix blend
Rich in antioxidants, yerba mate provides a natural caffeine boost for mental clarity and endurance. Combined with warming spices, this energizing tea not only revitalizes your body but also enhances focus and motivation for your day.
Ingredients
Roasted Yerba Mate, Nutmeg Chips, Cardamom Pods Green, Cloves, Cinnamon Chips, Ginger Cut, Black Peppercorns Cracked, Star Anise
Benefits of The Botanical Brothers' Yerba Mate Chai and Masala Spice Tea:
Energy Boost: Yerba mate contains caffeine, offering a smooth and sustained energy boost without the harsh crashes often associated with coffee or energy drinks. The roasting process can reduce bitterness, making it a better option for those sensitive to caffeine. Additionally, theobromine and theophylline present in yerba mate provide mild stimulant effects, contributing to enhanced energy and endurance.
Rich in Antioxidants: Yerba mate is loaded with antioxidants, including polyphenols and flavonoids, which help neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. These compounds support heart health, boost the immune system, and may even help reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases, including cancer.
Improved Mental Clarity: Yerba mate enhances mental alertness and focus, owing to its unique blend of caffeine and compounds like theobromine and theophylline. Together, they provide cognitive benefits without overstimulation, improving concentration, mood, and reaction time. These effects may also promote better learning and memory retention.
Supports Digestion: Yerba mate has been traditionally used to aid digestion by stimulating the production of bile and gastric acids. This can help in breaking down fats and promote smoother digestion, making it beneficial for those dealing with indigestion or sluggish digestion.
Weight Management: Some studies suggest yerba mate can support weight loss by increasing metabolism and promoting fat oxidation. It may also reduce appetite by prolonging the feeling of fullness, helping to control overeating.
Anti-inflammatory Properties: The antioxidants and saponins in yerba mate possess anti-inflammatory properties, which may help alleviate inflammation and lower the risk of related conditions, such as arthritis or cardiovascular disease.
Immune System Support: Yerba mate contains saponins, compounds that are known for their immune-boosting properties. It helps bolster the body's natural defenses, potentially protecting against infections and supporting overall immune function.
Cardiovascular Health: Regular consumption of yerba mate may improve heart health by lowering cholesterol levels, reducing blood pressure, and preventing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. These effects contribute to a reduced risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular issues.
Directions for the perfect cup:
Each tea bag contains 2g of tea. For a cup of Yerba Mate Roasted Chai, it's recommended to use 1-2 tea bags, while for a teapot, 4-6 tea bags are ideal for a richer brew.
Heat water to a temperature of 65-70°C. Avoid boiling water, as it can cause the yerba mate to become bitter. Pour the hot water over the tea bags in your cup or teapot.
Let the yerba mate steep for 3-5 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavour will be, so adjust the steeping time to your taste preference.
Enjoy your tea! You can re-infuse the same yerba mate leaves at least once or twice, with each infusion offering a slightly different flavor profile. For added sweetness or creaminess, feel free to mix in honey or milk.
