Tea is the original method of capturing and partaking of healing powers of herbal medicines, as practiced by the ancient Chinese, Ayurvedic, Tibetan and First Nations, who all used teas to nurture their vial energy and health. Plus, if you really think about it, teas are the most economical way today of utilizing herbal remedies.
If you haven't yet developed the tea habit you should! They will do wonderful things for your health, from normalizing blood pressure, reducing appetite, increasing metabolism and helping to support the immune system. Tea is on healthy habit.
Now, you may think all teas are the same, but Bija is turning all our thinking about teas upside down. When a tea bags of Bija were cut open and compared to other teas on the market the difference was remarkable. Many tea companies use precut 'teabag herbs'. Because such herbs might be six months or a year old, their medicinal value, potency and flavour can be compromised, which is not good for producing tea. But Flora, the manufacturers of Bija Healing Teas, contracts with farmers around the world and cuts their teas themselves. This allows Flora to control both the flavour and quality of their teas. Not only can you see a visual difference between Bija and other teas, you can taste the difference, being certified organic.
Based on market analysis, no one has a larger teabag than Bija ( in terms of surface area) in the retail industry. The amount of herbs and spices in their teas also make their teabags substantially heavier, ensuring you more of the valuable volatile oils and other healing phytochemicals present in tea that come out of from steeping. Also, because of their sive and weight, whereas a typical teabag is intended to brew one cup, each Bija teabag brews a small pot or several cups. The value of purchasing Bija goes further: each box of tea contains 20, not 16, teabags, with competitive pricing. Plus, the teabags themselves are not only dioxin, but also adhesive free.
For taste, selection, medicinal potency and value, there is probably no better tea line.
