Blender’s Notes Hitch ~ Women’s Tea:
Steep Me Self Help Tea combinations are a great way to get health benefits outside of the standard tea leaf. The Hitch tea was built and evaluated to use in the Morning and Drank All Day. The Hitch Tea is meant to touch many aspects of women’s health – An Umbrella Tea – including inflammation, hormone balance, metabolism, sexual health, and anxiety so having the first cup early in the day is more effective. This combination of herbs helps women over the age of 27 to obtain overall health from this blend. This was built as an umbrella or overall heath option. For many women, as we get older a few items tend to creep into our lives that may have not been apparent prior. When thinking about women’s health, there is a lot to consider. Knowing the diseases and conditions that are among the top health risks for women, such as heart disease and breast cancer, is important. But for many women, effectively managing other matters that affect daily health, such as premenstrual syndrome, birth control, fertility, menopause and more, also is key to enjoying a vibrant life. This blend will touch a bit on Anxiety and Depression. This blend will touch a bit on sexual health, libido, and hormone balancing. With these items we also look at digestive health, metabolism, sugar cravings and sleep. All of these can change as we get older, and we wanted a tea option to help touch on them all and help get you back to a new normal!!! Women experience a multitude of physical changes throughout their lives, from puberty to menopause and beyond. Hormonal fluctuations, menstrual cycles, fertility interests and the stresses of daily life can all impact women. Fortunately, a healthy diet and lifestyle, including regular exercise, adequate rest, stress reduction and herbs offer a gentle yet effective way to help support women’s health through these transitions.
In this blend we based it on several diverse types of teas. We added a blend of Sri Lanken Black Teas because having a cup of black tea per day has a lower risk of developing ovarian cancer, one of the most common types of cancers in women. Next, we included a Blend of Dark Tea from Yunnan Province in China aged by Microbial Fermentation or Puerh Tea. Puerh Tea is a unique type of fermented tea that is traditionally made in the Yunnan Province of China. It is made from the leaves of a tree known as the “wild old tree,” which grows in the region. It improves weight loss by synthesizing fewer new fats while burning more stored body fat — which can lead to weight loss. Pu-erh tea extracts may help reduce cholesterol levels, Pu-erh tea extracts have killed breast cancer, oral cancer, and colon cancer cells, it can help decrease fat accumulation, Pu-erh tea may help prevent or reverse nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a disease in which excess fat accumulates in your liver.
