Tea for Good - Our Wellness Collection

What happens when our Tea Sommelier gets together with a plant-based powerhouse nutrition professor, scientist and chef to talk tea?

Introducing our Tea for Good collection. This new collection of functional teas were created with evidence-based studies as the starting point, and deliciousness as a priority. 

Each tea has been blended by us with care and includes whole plant ingredients, not powders. 

In true Pluck fashion, each tea in this collection also includes a key ingredient grown in Canada.

  Amy's Nutrition Notes:

 Chaga Mushrooms

 Mushroom metabolites are known to stimulate different cells of the immune system and have been shown to help support good immune function. They are also high in antioxidants in general aiding in the reduction of inflammation in the body overall.

 Cinnamon: 

 Cinnamon contains high levels of polyphenols; rutin, catechins and quercetin in particular, all of which have high antioxidant activity.  Moreover, there is promising research in relation to cinnamon and the support of respiratory, digestive and gynaecological health as well as possessing antibacterial properties.

  Cacao: 

 Cacao and cocoa products, aside from being rich in earthy, beautiful bitter notes, they contain high levels of antioxidants (surprisingly higher than red wine, green tea and black tea), specifically flavonoids, catechins and procyandins which have been shown to help minimize oxidative stress, reducing inflammation in our bodies helping to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, like heart disease, diabetes and certain types of cancers.

 Ginger:

 Aside from its well-known characteristics of aiding in the reduction of nausea, ginger’s aromatic  component, gingerol, has been shown to be a good component of an anti-inflammatory diet, to support good gastrointestinal function, manage pain, and potentially reduce the risk of metabolic syndromes; in particular, aiding in the promotion of good heart health.
