 Our Turkish Delight is a vibrant loose leaf tea combining crisp apple with sweet comforting cinnamon and hints of heart-warming rose. This naturopathic formulation has traditional benefits and plant compounds that are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and tonifying which may naturally reduce oxidative stress, aid digestion, balance blood sugar, fortify immunity and enhance circulation.

Turkish Delight Tea health benefits include:

Naturally rich in antioxidants and pectin, our organic apple tea has the added benefits of improving circulation, balancing blood sugars, boosting immunity and preventing constipation.

• Improving circulation
  Studies suggest that nitric oxide is formed in the blood by an enzyme, activated by the polyphenols that are found in apple tea. In turn, the blood vessels are widened and circulation is improved.
• Balancing blood sugars
  Cinnamon has been linked to improved blood sugar levels by several small studies. By lowering insulin resistance, cinnamon may curb blood sugar levels.
• Boosting immunity
  Our turkish apple tea blend, being rich in vitamin B6, seems to aid human epithelial cells and thus promotes immunity. Cinnamon can additionally provide instant relief from a sore throat.
• Preventing constipation
  On consuming the organic Turkish Delight Tea early in the morning, the dietary fibre from the apples may rule out constipation and improve bowel movements.

Wanderlust Tea blends include:

Marrakesh: Moroccan Mint Green Tea – a slight scent of woodsmoke filling the air and of course minty green tea. Our memories of this characterful country inspired us to create a simple, refreshing and exotic blend of Sencha green tea, peppermint and spearmint.

Mumbai: Spicy Chai – a city full of busy people, spicy but tasty food and heaps of culture. Our Spicy Chai blend is a caffeine free chai with a warm citrus-rose overtone. Packed with spices that are commonly found in the Indian kitchen, this herbal tea supports digestion and improves circulation.

Paris: French Earl Grey – the city of love… not only did we fall in love with the city, its culture and the (possibly) best desserts we ever tried, it also left us with the desire to blend a breakfast tea to go with freshly baked baguettes and croissants. Our French Earl Grey is a wonderfully fragrant, bergamot infused black tea with a bouquet of lavender and rose.

Istanbul: Turkish Delight – the sun rising early in the morning, a stroll over to the big bazaar’s bustle and getting lost in the seemingly endless, tiny streets of a beautiful city full of culture and history. Istanbul is what inspired us to start drinking our teas out of glasses years ago, and we have visited several times since first getting to know the city full of shimmering gold trims and good thoughts. Our naturally sweet and sour spiced apple tea is a heart-warming blend that will leave you feeling loved and well nourished.

Our Jasmine Green Tea is a traditional green tea infused with a sweet opulent fragrance and a flourish of precious petals.

This botanical formulation has traditional benefits and plant compounds that are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial which may naturally reduce oxidative stress, promote cell repair, fortify immunity, uplift mood, relieve tension, vitalise energy, and protect against chronic disease.

How is Green Tea with Jasmine made?

The green tea leaves – not affected by oxidation – absorb the fragrance and flavour of the jasmine flowers hence brewing a soft, mild tasting cup. At Organic Merchant we amplify this delightful, light taste by adding certified organic pink rose petals to the blend.

The green tea, used as a base, is harvested in early spring and has to be stored until the jasmine plant, grown at high elevations in the mountains, can be harvested in late summer. The tea leaves are then scented with aroma from the jasmine blossom. The scenting process takes place at night when the jasmine flowers open and release their fragrance. It is repeated several times until the desired level of aroma is developed.

Combined, this green tea and jasmine is a subtly sweet and highly fragrant brew that is the most famous scented tea in China and is best enjoyed on its own, without sugar or milk.

What are the health benefits of Green Tea with Jasmine?

Our Jasmine Green Tea not only has an added sweet taste and fragrance but also includes healing properties and nutrients that are found in Jasmine. It is filled with antioxidants that assist the body in combating against harmful bacteria as well as forming good bacteria.

Loose Jasmine Tea benefits include:

Cold prevention: The antiviral and antibacterial properties found in Green Tea encourage the body to fight against illness. It also assists with helping speed up recovery and boosts the immune system.

Digestion: Green Tea with Jasmine is very good for digestive health and this leads to assisting with weight loss.

Reducing stress and anxiety: Jasmine itself has been used for stress relief throughout history and has the ability to reduce a person’s heart rate as well as alter their mood. The scent of the Jasmine flower is calming, bringing about feelings of relaxation.

Skin benefits and anti ageing: The antioxidants and anti inflammatory activities contained in Jasmine Green Tea can help reduce the signs of aging. While there is some evidence of this, the benefits do depend on consuming green tea and green tea formulated products.

Regulating blood circulation: Jasmine Green Tea improves a person’s health but also reduces the risk of heart related diseases.

Does Jasmine Green Tea have caffeine?
Yes, there is caffeine in jasmine tea. This is because green tea is used as a base.

The content of caffeine found in Green Tea with Jasmine varies depending on how much tea is used and how long it is left to brew. Jasmine flowers do not contain caffeine, however green tea leaves do naturally contain a low level of caffeine. Therefore, while green tea does contain some caffeine, the overall amount is noticeably lower than regular black tea.
