In the fast-paced world we live in, taking time out for a cuppa can make the world of difference to your health. Here’s Go Vita’s top tea picks.

The popularity over the last few decades of herbal teas made from ingredients like calming chamomile or soothing peppermint has given rise to an even greater range of tea types. No matter what your taste, now you’re sure to find something that suits you, with the added bonus of it being good for your health. And taking time out from what you are doing to fill the kettle with water, then waiting for it to reach boiling point, allows you the opportunity to contemplate and reflect, or just switch off mentally and think nothing at all.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa)

Flavour profile: Mildly spicy

Health benefits: This anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-viral relieves digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome. Also eases arthritic pain and helps control cholesterol levels. Beneficial for circulation and healthy brain function.

Hemp (Cannabis sativa)

Flavour profile: Mildly nutty

Health benefits: An anti-catarrh that expels wind and eases coughs. It also supports the immune system. In traditional Chinese medicine, it’s used to treat constipation. The hemp seeds (from which the tea is made) have high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for healthy heart and brain function.
