Gypsy fair organic herbal tea
Our naturopath formulated Gypsy fair organic herbal tea is a unique combination of Green Tea and Tulsi to create a powerfully potent infusion to relieve stress, increase stamina, soothe and support the nervous system.
Therapeutic benefits
Tulsi or Holy Basil – Known as the “Queen of herbs”, used in India for around 5000 years and is known for its healing properties of the mind, body and spirit. It is an adaptogenic herb with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, used for reducing stress, anxiety and strengthening immunity.
Green tea – Contains a significant amount of catechins, which are powerful antioxidants protecting the body from free radical damage. Sencha green tea contains thermogenic properties, increasing metabolism for maintaining a healthy weight. Studies have found that green tea may also help lower LDL cholesterol (bad). View research.
Despite the caffeine content, sencha green tea may help you to relax due to its L-Theanine content. Theanine helps lift mood, enhance brain function, and calm the body’s response to stress and anxiety.
Chamomile – Can help alleviate stress and irritability. It’s relaxing properties also extend to the gut helping calm the digestive system, reducing abdominal pain and menstrual cramps.
Rose petals – Richly fragrant, the scent of roses can help soothe anxiety, calm the mind and lift mood.
Precautions: Chamomile may cause allergic reactions in those allergic to ragweed.

How to brew the perfect cup of tea
Measurements & ratios
The recommended ratio is 1 teaspoon per cup of hot tea. If you like it nice and strong, add an extra teaspoon and brew for the recommended time.
To serve
Save your milk for black teas – most green and herbals are best served straight up.
Temperature
Swill a little hot water in your teapot or cup, then discard. This will keep your teawares from cooling your tea too quickly. Green and herbal teas prefer 80°C, so just combine 20% cold water with 80% boiling water.
- Black tea & Oolong 100°C 2-4 minutes
- Green tea 80°C 1-3 minutes
- Herbal & floral tisanes 80°C 3-5 minutes
- Rooibos & honeybush tisanes 100°C 3-5 minutes
Loose leaf vs. tea bags
One of the main reasons we love loose leaf tea is the flavour. Usually loose leaf tea is higher quality than the tea in tea bags. Sometimes, tea bags are used to disguise lower quality tea leaves, but with loose leaf you can’t get away with that.
Most commercial tea bags are created using plastics, bleaches, glues, staples and other nasty things that are best avoided in your daily cuppa.
Another reason is because we love the environment. We hate to have a compostable material such as organic tea & herbs trapped inside little plastic pouches. Our teas are completely organic, so be sure to empty your loose tea leaves into the compost or the garden.
