Frequently asked questions

What tea helps after eating too much?

Peppermint, ginger and fennel are the classics — all traditionally used after meals. Pick by flavor: cooling mint, warming ginger, or gently sweet fennel.

Hot or cold for digestion?

Traditionally these infusions are taken warm after a meal, but a chilled peppermint or hibiscus works well in summer. It's a comfort choice, not a rule.

Can I drink them every day?

For most people an after-meal infusion is a gentle daily habit. If you're pregnant, on medication or managing a condition, check with your doctor about specific herbs.
