Health Benefits of Vanilla Tea

Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Calendula, also known as pot marigold, has been used in folk medicine for years, in large part due to its anti-inflammatory capabilities. This makes it an excellent remedy for gingivitis and sore throats. It may even boost heart health.

Reduce Bad Cholesterol

Excess low-density cholesterol levels in the body can lead to health problems like heart failure and stroke. Drinking black tea every day can help reduce low-density cholesterol in people with elevated cholesterol levels.

Potential Gut Health Benefits

Recent science indicates that the bacteria in your gut can play a significant role in your overall health. A healthy gut flora can help reduce your risk of developing conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and cancer. What you eat and drink impacts your gut health. The polyphenols in black tea can help you maintain a healthy gut by inhibiting the growth of bad bacteria and helping beneficial bacteria flourish.

Rich in Antioxidants

Both black tea and calendula flower are high in antioxidants, including polyphenols. Polyphenols help remove free radicals in the body and decrease levels of cell damage. They also reduce a person’s risk of developing chronic disease.

Sweetness Without the Sugar Rush

By sweetening our tea with stevia, we allow you to enjoy our blend’s flavors to the fullest without the added calories or blood sugar spikes associated with traditional table sugar. Now you can enjoy cup after cup without worry.
