TRUE TEAS VS HERBAL BLENDS
HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT
True Teas come from the Camelia Senessis plant where the Tea leaves are picked, dried and blended to make traditional Green and Black teas.
Over the last few decades Herbal or Tisane Teas have gained in popularity. These teas come from a water-based infusion of various herbs, spices, flowers, berries, seeds and roots. Essentially these plant-based water infusions have become known as a type of tea without having a leaf of True Tea within their blends.
Best of Both Worlds
For thousands of years, its been known that True Teas have a natural “relaxing effect” on the drinker…. but why? Amazingly, the “relaxing” effect is caused by a naturally occurring amino acid known as L-Theanine. L-Theanine increases dopamine and serotonin production in the brain that induces a sense of “relaxation” through the enhancement of alpha wave activity. Essentially, L-Theanine provides the “feel good” experienced when drinking a cup of Green or Black Tea.
AASANA RELAX HERBAL Teas are the first Herbal Tea to blend Bcalm L-Theanine with your favourite plant based Herbals. It’s the best of both tea worlds… flavourful herbals blended with the “relaxation” effects of Bcalm L-Theanine.
What is an Amino Acid?
Amino acids are considered the building blocks of life. They are organic compounds composed of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Bcalm L-theanine is a soluble, odourless, tasteless amino acid identical to L-Theanine found in the Camelia Senessis plant.
