A Nice Healthy Cuppa

Made in China using updated blends of ancient herbal formulations designed specifically for modern Western lifestyles, Birt & Tang’s unique range of innovative teas were only available in health food shops and luxury outlets, such as Harvey Nichols and Selfridges, until recently. The brand became available in Waitrose in October 2005 and, as of March 2006, three teas out of Birt & Tang’s current range of nine will be available in 400 Sainsbury’s stores around the UK, these being:

· Detox Herbal Tea
A delicious blend of dandelion, milk thistle, Chinese violet and pure green tea, Detox Herbal Tea is just what is needed to purge the body of contaminants in the modern world’s increasingly stressful and polluted environment. The ancient Chinese used these herbs to cleanse the major organs of toxins and their combination makes a perfect tonic for the morning after the night before.

· Ginger Herbal Tea
Ginger herbal tea is a naturally warming infusion, combining piquant ginger with cloves and pu'er tea. It makes a stimulating brew to keep the cold and damp at bay and is also great for the digestion – making it a great, sugar-free alternative to coffee at the end of a meal.

· Relaxing Herbal Tea
A soothing blend of Chinese herbs with albizzia, lily bulb and other flowers, Relaxing Herbal Tea is a delicate, mellow, caffeine-free tea that is ideal for the end of the day – or for any time when relaxation is required
