Minted Moringa Herbal Tea A Caffeine Free Energy Boost for Your Day
Every morning was coffee till I realized coffee was ruining my sleep. Drinking herbal tea felt like cheating till I tried Minted Moringa by Moringa with Barry. Not only does it give me a kick but I can drink it at 8pm and not spend the night counting down the minutes till morning.
What Is Minted Moringa Tea
This is a loose leaf herbal tea made from moringa leaves and spearmint. It comes in a 1.5 ounce pouch which equates to about 42 grams of tea. The pouch is resealable which keeps all the leaves fresh. The tea is hand blended so someone actually took the time to mix this batch as opposed to a machine mindlessly dumping ingredients into a bag. Little things like that matter and you can taste it.
Why Does This Tea Blow Other Teas Away
Completely Caffeine Free
ZERO caffeine. You’ll get none of the jitters no racing heartbeat and no lying in bed at 2am asking yourself why you had that latte in the afternoon. I drink this morning noon and night with no problems. If your sensitive to caffeine or looking to ween yourself off it, this is a great alternative that doesn’t make you feel like your missing out.
Hand Blended in Small Batches
Hand blended small batches make all the difference when it comes to taste. All those big name brands taste the same because it’s machine blended. How spoon full of spearmint gets dumped on top of moringa nobody knows. Once someonehand mixes tea they can actually taste it, tweak it and create the perfect blend. To me this tea tastes smooth not bitter with a nice clean mint after taste.
Made with 100 Percent Natural Ingredients
Who knows what they put in that sweet mint tea from your local coffee shop. No weird artificial flavors here. No preservatives and no ingredients that sound like chemicals. All you get is dried moringa leaves and spearmint.
The Benefits of Moringa
Moringa oleifera has been dubbed the miracle tree for good reason. Loaded with vitamin C vitamin A calcium potassium iron and protein. Some studies have even shown moringa has more vitamin C than oranges more calcium than milk and more iron than spinach. Whether those claims match up exactly to those superfoods we know and love I do not know but what I do know is this tree is nutrient dense as all hell.
Scientists have discovered over 90 bioactive substances found in moringa that may assist with inflammation and oxidative stress. This means the antioxidants in moringa help with damage to cells it your body. Having those antioxidants is vital to your overall health and drinking moringa tea is a great way to get them.
What Spearmint Brings to the Brew
The spearmint in this tea isn’t just for kicks. Spearmint has been used for ages to help with digestion and soothing stomach aches. Mint tea after dinner is such a common thing because mint helps relax GI muscles. Not only will this tea fill you up with nutrients but it will help you digest your food.
Spearmint also tastes amazing with moringa. Most mint teas will burn your mouth because they use peppermint. Peppermint is very strong and you can taste the oil. Spearmint is lighter and has a sweet after taste which I love. Coupled with moringa you get this wonderful earthy flavor with a hint of mint.
My Brewing Method
Ok here is how I make mine.
- boil water and let it sit for 30 seconds to a minute. You don’t want to pour boiling water on tea leaves.
- pour one teaspoon of loose leaf tea into the infuser.
- pour 8 ounces of hot water over the tea.
- steep for 5-7 minutes.
- remove tea and enjoy.
Typically I do not add any sweetener because the spearmint brings enough natural sweetness to the tea. If you want this over ice just add more tea and make it strong.
When Should I Drink This
IMO this is perfect for any time of the day.
- Morning- Instead of reaching for coffee why not start your day with some Minted Moringa. It’ll give you a nice gentle boost to start your day.
- Afternoon- This tea is great for that post lunch slump. Warm something that doesn’t come packed with caffeine.
- Evening- This is my favorite time to enjoy this tea. About an hour before bed I’ll boil some water and make this brew. Not only does it help me unwind but soothes my stomach after eating.
