With a little change in lifestyle and a cup of herbal tea every day, one can actually observe a difference in their body.

Razi Khan Director, Sales and Marketing, also the forager and blender of the teas at Typhoo Tea, broke the myth of herbal tea having actual tea leaves, by saying, "anything which can be brewed is tea, herbal tea is basically an infusion of leaves, seeds, roots or bark, extracted in hot water. It contains carefully blended ingredients that provide functional benefits to the body and mind of the consumer".

Given the lifestyle of the urban people these days, herbal tea is a boon to mankind as it provides specific benefits - including digestion, detoxification, and weight-loss.

"Rich in antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins, it not only makes your body healthy but also helps in relaxing, recovery and refreshing your mind. If you're looking at gaining health benefits, then you should absolutely stay away from products that contain essential oils or flavors. It is very important to drink herbal tea that is 100 percent natural", Khan continued.
