Lately I’ve been enjoying Arctic Mood’s organic bagged teas. All of their teas are made with a touch of wild Icelandic Herbs, making them unique as a tea company. Their Nettle & Ginger tea is a detox tea and is meant to boost your energy levels. Detox teas can be a little iffy and needs to be selected carefully. I have had multiple bad experiences with detox teas so I approach them with caution.
This detox tea is all natural and made with nettle, fennel seeds, cardamom seeds, dandelion root, field horsetail, angelica, ginger, green pepper, aniseeds and stars, and rose pepper. A majority of these ingredients are known to aid digestion. I steeped one tea bag in a cup of 90C water for 5 minutes. The water turned a light orange-green color. The smell of ginger, fennel, green pepper, and cardamom is very evident. It has a smell similar to Chai.
The worry with a tea like this is that the spices won’t be properly balanced. There are a lot of strong, over-powering ingredients in this tea. Luckily, they all seemed to blend beautifully. The tea isn’t overpowering or bitter what-so-ever. It is mellow with just enough of a kick. It is rich and sweet.
I have had many detox teas with an unpleasant flavor. The tea was for more the benefits than the flavor. This tea has a wonderful flavor and is a detox tea I would enjoy drinking every morning! my stomach as feels fine after drinking it. No problems with stomach aches or digestion. If you’re searching for the right detox tea, I suggest you try this one.
