We are always on the lookout for new ways to revamp our daily routines in order to boost our health. With volatile lifestyles, it is difficult to find ways to stay healthy. Plus, we’re eager to travel, become successful professionals and stay fit, all at the same time. With hopes to achieve the best of all worlds, we dream about enjoying our lives without worrying about our physical or mental health.

However, in this pursuit of a perfect lifestyle, our generation has become unsure of whether they should spend an extra hour at the gym or use that same hour to improve upon work. But with changing times, come unique solutions to our typical problems. And this is where a whole new category of teas come into play.

What are Wellness Teas?

For over a thousand years, people have trusted a variety of herbs for their specific medicinal properties. Botanical herbs combined with the goodness of green tea is what gives birth to wellness teas. For those with busy schedules, wellness teas work as quick and easy health swaps. Their consumption provides relief from mental as well as physical health ailments like stress, indigestion, skin problems, bloating, anxiety, insomnia etc. They are rich in anti-oxidants and help boost the body’s immunity, while getting rid of free radicals.

While there are a variety of teas out there, wellness teas are specifically drawn to deliver solutions for specific humane problems.

What is ChaiSpa by Teafloor?

ChaiSpa is a wellness tea range carefully crafted by Teafloor’s master blenders. Made with the finest ingredients, it delivers the perfect cup of well-being to its drinker. The goal of ChaiSpa is to help one live their life as their best versions.

In simpler words, ChaiSpa is Teafloor’s initiative to rethink how tea shapes our lives.

There are seven varieties of ChaiSpa pyramid tea bags available for the drinkers targeting their specific needs:

Nidra Pyramid Tea Bags:

Proper amount of sleep is that one thing that can fix a lot of our mental and physical health issues. From budding fatigue to acne, there is nothing that right amount of sleep cannot fix. However, nothing is worse than going to bed early, only to wake up still feeling exhausted. To help us get the best possible sleep, ChaiSpa offers Nidra pyramid tea bags. A carefully curated mix of lavender, passion flower and chamomile blended with green tea, Nidra provides its drinkers a chance to sleep soundly, without a worry in the world. It is the best means to render a fully satisfying sleep.

Urja Pyramid Tea Bags:

One of the biggest misconceptions that we have is that hitting the snooze button on our alarms every morning makes us less tired, since we’re getting those extra five minutes of sleep. However, it does the opposite of that. An energy drained morning can mean an energy drained day. To add that spark of energy in our day, ChaiSpa’s Urja pyramid tea bags are the best answer. A tasty concoction of white sage, hibiscus and lemongrass, with green tea, a cup of Urja brings momentum to a lazy start, so that one can remain fresh and zeal all day long.

Shuddhi Pyramid Tea Bags:

The moment we hear the term ‘detox’, our mind wanders to strange herbal concoctions and unpleasant dietary shots. We all understand how testing it is to put ourselves through a detox programme. However, we cannot forget that it is vital to detox our bodies to help it function efficiently. Shuddhi pyramid tea bags are an amazing switch for those bitter detox juices. It is a blend of stinging nettle, lemon peel and cranberries with green tea, loaded with antioxidants, packed inside pyramid tea bags. These antioxidants aid in eliminating free radicals in our bodies, helping our cells function with ease.

Ananda Pyramid Tea Bags:

High-pressure workdays, long commutes, raising kids, not enough sleep or exercise, all the while trying to make ends meet, results in some serious stress. From early aging to heart problems to long-term disability, stress continues to have adversely irreversible effects on our bodies. In such situations, all we need to do is take a deep breath and drink Ananda pyramid tea bags, a brilliant infusion of rose, passion flower and ashwagandha with green tea. The polyphenols packed in these green tea bags work as natural muscle relaxants. A cup of Ananda is a reward to oneself to put a long and stressful day behind.

Arogya Pyramid Tea Bags:

As the season takes a turn towards a colder setting, our bodies become more prone to diseases and infections. In fact, most of us can already feel the flu setting in. No matter how strong our immune system is, it always needs a helping hand to protect us from big and small infections. Rather than loading our bodies with artificial immune boosters, try ChaiSpa’s Arogya pyramid tea bags. A resplendent mix of rose petals, tulsi and moringa, these green tea bags are a package of rejuvenation for our immune system.

Spoorti Pyramid Tea Bags:

Leading a fit life is always on our minds. Instead of treating fitness like a challenge, one should embrace it and turn it into a lifestyle. A helping hand in this transformation can be Spoorti pyramid tea bags. A daily fix of green tea fused with kokum flower, orange zest and blueberry will be helpful in bringing those goals to life.

Trupti Pyramid Tea Bags:

In India, it’s always festive season. And with festive season comes the festive hangover followed by a ‘food coma’. This can definitely put a serious strain on our digestive system. Trading that after dinner coffee for a cup of tea is a good idea to counter any digestive issues. In comes Trupti pyramid tea bags, an interfusion of green tea with fennel, orange rind and lemon peel. Its antioxidant rich nature strengthens our metabolism which is the key to a hearty body and mind.

The ChaiSpa pyramid tea bags are an exciting alternative for other caffeinated and artificial beverages. They empower us to finally take our health into our hands, while giving us an exceptional culinary experience. And with the holiday season around the corner, these beautifully packaged green tea bags are not just a wonderful gift for ourselves, but also for our loved ones.

Winter is the time for warmth, for comfort, for good food, for the touch of a friendly hand, and for a talk beside fire. It inspires both joy and blues. While some cannot wait for the cooler weather and the holiday season, others dislike the frigid temperatures and the ailments that follow the cold air. According to a research, a quarter of our DNA changes with the changing weather. During the winter months our bodies pump up the levels of many genes linked with inflammation, triggering symptoms like swelling and uneasiness that our bodies use to protect us from cold and flu. In summer, on the other hand, a different set of genes get highly expressed, including some that help regulate our blood sugar potentially and help us burn off excess fat.

This is because some germs prosper in colder weathers. In fact, the Influenza virus (Flu) and Rhinovirus (common cold) spread easily in winters, for they thrive in low humidity, cold environments. The chilly weather makes it harder for the hairs and mucus in our noses to protect us against germs. Not just this, but our bodies barely produce any melatonin due to shorter sunlight hours. Plus, the frost brings about ache and pain in joints and old injuries. The stress of the festive season is just the tip of the iceberg. We overdo celebrations which tire our bodies, all the while staying huddled indoors. This only makes it easier for germs to transfer from one person to another, thus bringing about sickness. All of this can slow our immune system and make the holiday season barely bearable.

However, like there are remedies for everything, there is a natural remedy for the winter daze as well. And that is tea. The benefits of tea are many and winters only invite us to try a warm cup every day. It is a way to naturally cleanse our bodies of toxins and provide aid for our ailments.

Benefits of Tea for Winter Ailments

• Helps With Depression: Winter can bring about a dip in your moods and a gust of Seasonal Affective Disorders. Mellow moods can be pacified with the help of tea. Depression is often a combination of biochemical imbalance, unresolved emotional issues, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalance. The amino acid L-Theanine found in tea helps promote hormones like dopamine and serotonin that fight these problems.
• Boosts Metabolism:  A daily cup or two of tea can inflate our metabolic rate and promote fat oxidation in our body. Green tea, especially, has thermogenic properties. Thermogenesis is the process of burning calories while digesting and absorbing food as it’s being eaten. This in turn aids in weight loss. It becomes even more difficult to lose weight during winters as our bodies sweat very less. Green tea has closer to zero calories and improves our body’s energy burning efficiency. It is a natural diuretic, which makes it the ideal treatment for combating fluid retention problems and overall tissue inflammation. According to studies, drinking green tea regularly can reduce body fat by up to 19 percent.
• Gives Your Immunity an Extra Boost: Winters mean a lethargic immunity system. Our bodies are quick in picking up on germs. However, tea is useful for soothing sore throats, stopping sniffles and boosting our immunity system. Problems like chest congestion, fevers and common cold reduce if we consume at least 2-3 cups of tea every day. While being calming and delicious, it protects our body from potential sickness, viruses, or infections. When the weather gets colder, pouring yourself a delicious cup of tea will make your immune system thank you!
• Helps Soothe Winter Aches and Pains: One of the lesser known benefits of tea include its ability to ease winter aches. While pains and body aches can happen any time of the year, the symptoms become even more prominent in the cold and wet season. The warmth produced by tea along with its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce joint pains and gout.
• Gets Rid of the Winter Laziness: Since our bodies absorb less sunlight, we feel more sleepy and lethargic during winters. To get rid of this tiredness, we need an additional push in our diets to keep us running on our feet. The stimulants present in tea, like caffeine, L-theanine, theobromine and theophylline, energise your body. These energisers work as vasodilators (exercising of the heart) and elevate the mood of the consumer. Tea excites our brain and the central nervous system.  The ‘caffeine high’ attained by coffee consumption also gives us a sudden ‘caffeine crash’ which depletes all of our energy. Tea, on the other hand, allows slower absorption of caffeine, so the energy release is stable and more manageable, making it a better energy stimulant than coffee.
• Prevents Teeth Sensitivity: Tooth sensitivity occurs when the protective layers of teeth are worn out and a bony tissue called dentin is exposed. Exposed dentin allows hot and cold liquids and foods to come in close contact with the nerve endings in the teeth, which cause pain. If left exposed for long, dentin also becomes vulnerable to cavity formation. Out of all teas, green tea contains Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which not only prevents tooth erosion but also prevents plaque formation. Not just this, but its anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce swelling and inflammation in the gums. Green tea also acts as a natural mouth freshener.

Best Tea for Winter

The sweeping benefits of tea are many, and it only becomes a blessing in the cold season. Here are some important teas that should become a part of your life, especially during winter:

1. Chamomile Tea: The queen of herbal teas, chamomile has the ability to relax your mind, get rid of inflammation from bug bites and reduce dark circles. The relaxants present in this tea helps ease winter time anxiety.
2. Ginger Tea: A naturally energising blend, ginger tea stimulates blood circulation, speeds up digestion and enhances immunity. The stronger taste of this tea cures sore throat and helps subside cough and chest congestion.
3. Peppermint Tea: This minty concoction may seem like an odd choice for a winter tea, but it actually helps cure nausea and upset stomach. The acidity caused by over-eating during holiday season can be countered with the help of this tea.
4. Mulethi/ Licorice Root Tea: A centuries old ayurvedic herb, mulethi can counter many problems all at once. However, its top benefit includes easing congestion and cough. A cup of Mulethi tea can warm you up and relieve you of a scratchy throat.
5. Rose, Passion Flower & Ashwagandha Tea: Winter coldness can bring about uneasiness and raise the blood pressure of some. A blend of rose, passion flower and ashwagandha can help relieve the holiday stress and stabilise your blood pressure.
6. Stinging Nettle Tea: Stinging nettle has been used by people for centuries to cure a variety of problems like arthritis, reproductive system ailments and seasonal allergies. If you suffer from constant allergic reactions in winters, then Stinging Nettle tea is the natural answer for your problems.
7. Fennel, Orange Rind & Lemon Peel Tea: This tea helps ease the after celebration ‘food coma’. It removes toxins from the body, while boosting the digestive system. A cup of this after a few hours of eating helps ease any kind of digestive anxiety in your body.
8. Lavender Tea:The best natural remedy for a festive hangover is Lavender tea. An aromatic blend that counters anxiety due to intoxication, it boosts mood and emotional health. Also, it has sedative effect on the body, relieving from headaches and pain, while providing a sound sleep.

Whether you’re looking for a warm cup of spice or a calming tea, there are unlimited choices to go for. The abundant benefits of tea give us a better option than running back and forth between the doctor’s clinic and the pharmacy. Tea for winter is a wonderful choice as it will not only warm up your bodies, but also exhilarate your minds.

The earliest record of tea bags dates back to 8th century China. During the Tang Dynasty, the paper was folded and sewn from all sides to store tea leaves. This helped preserve their flavor and aroma.  However, the first commercial tea bag wasn’t sold until 1904, which used silk fabric sewn together to sustain dried tea leaves. By 1903, heat-sealed paper fiber tea bags were widely popular. It made transporting tea worldwide easier for retailers.

From differing shapes to diverse production materials, tea bags have taken various avatars over the years. The medleys in tea bags are almost equal to the endless assortments of teas produced.

Yet for many, the taste of tea made with tea bags is never as good as the one they brew themselves. Still, we are always on the lookout for products that give the best results. The debate over the shapes of tea bags is unending. And the recent competitors are Pyramid tea bags and Regular tea bags.

Pyramid Tea Bags & Regular Tea Bags: The Unending Debate

The standard folded and enveloped tea bag is what most of us are familiar with. They were the first ones to come around, after all. Only recently have the various shapes of tea bags become part of public knowledge. Yet many of us are still unaware of the innovation known as the pyramid tea bags. Also known as tetrahedron-shaped tea bags, these pockets have revolutionized the entire process of packaging brews into bags.

1. Quantity of tea:

When it comes to regular tea bags, they contain fewer teas and more fannings, making your brew taste rather dusty. With pyramid tea bags, the spaciousness of the bags allows for the packaging of larger, good-quality tea leaves. This gives you a top-shelf brew.

2. Variety of Flavours:

With the spaciousness of pyramid tea bags, an assortment of infusions can be packed in them. Regular tea bags may come in a lot of flavors as well, but upon brewing the taste is hardly different from plain tea, unless procured from a premium brand. In pyramid tea bags, the space allows infusions of flavors like rose, lavender, orange peel, lemon zest, etc to give the tea that extra punch of real flavor and mouthfeel.

3. Better Brewing:

The pyramid tea bags have brought about innovation, thus changing the older rules of brewing tea. The triangular structure of the tea bags allows the tea leaves to move freely. When hot water is added into the cup along with the tea bag, the tea leaves move in a circular motion, then cool down. This almost mimics what happens to tea in a teapot or infuser, which utilizes the tea leaves best. This shape also allows the ingredients to unwind and expand properly, releasing maximum flavor into your cup. This gives the entire tea leaf to be utilized and not just a part of it or its fannings.

4. Time Efficient:

The structure of pyramid tea bags is more porous. This not only allows a concentrated flavor to mix into the cup but also allows faster brewing. Whereas in regular tea bags, by the time your tea steeps to give you the best flavor, the water has already cooled down. The brewing process is neither taste-effective nor time efficient. Pyramid tea bags are the best option for those who are time-bound.

5. Travel Friendly:

The durability of regular tea bags is not very dependable. They are more susceptible to wear and tear. Carrying these during travel means putting them in a protective box which only occupies more space in your luggage. Pyramid tea bags, on the other hand, are very travel friendly. They are durable and strong and are not affected by an outside force that easily.

6. A Luxurious Gift:

Giving a gift to someone can be a challenging task. We often look for pocket-friendly, yet classy options. Pyramid tea bags can work great as gifts. They are soft to the touch, with a beautiful sheen over them. Plus, they deliver a spectacular brew to their users. Unlike regular tea bags, pyramid tea bags set a hallmark of luxury. These are great for personal use and even better for giving as gifts.
