Tea is Digestion\u2019s Best Friend<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Preparations for Thanksgiving begin for many of us this weekend, when we shop for ingredients, finalize menus, and in many cases begin cooking. We might bake a batch of cheddar crackers<\/span><\/a> for pre-feast grazing, or get started with the gravy by roasting turkey necks and backs and making a rich stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all know what happens once the kitchen work commences: we nibble. And as we draw closer to the big day, and are baking pies and spiced nuts and sides like green bean casserole, the nibbling becomes more like all-day dining. Then comes Thanksgiving itself, followed by days of creative leftovers gambits, followed by holiday parties, followed by the end-of-December holidays, including New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The holidays bring cheer – and upset stomachs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a whole lot of eating. All along, the poor digestive track is hammering away in overdrive, toiling to dispense with the flood of fats, the surge of sodium, the stream of sugars and to keep the body in a healthy state of equilibrium.<\/p>\n\n\n

We endorse lending our digestive systems a hand year-round, by drinking tea. But the practice gains urgency for the final six weeks of the year. Stoking digestive fires during the holidays not only happens behind the scenes, lifting some of the burden from the hard-working digestive tract. It also improves the overall human experience. As we glide from feast to party, from martini to tray of passed-plate fried-shrimp appetizers to buttery holiday cookies, the chugging digestive system can interfere with our stomachs, sleep, energy \u2014 even our moods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t have to be so taxing on body and mind. Incorporate digestion-friendly tea<\/mark><\/a> into the cavalcade of decadence, and witness more tranquil tummies, sound sleeps, boosted stamina and vitality and improved moods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While many herbal teas help optimize digestion<\/mark><\/a>, traditional Camellia sinensis tea also serves to enhance digestion<\/mark><\/a>. This trio of teas \u2014 an oolong, puerh and decaf green \u2014 will benefit your body across the holiday season, and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tie Guan Yin is an especially famous Chinese oolong tea – and great for digestion.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

We love it when things that are good for you also taste wonderful. This is the case for tea in general \u2014 all of the teas we carry are healthy, and we think they all are yummy, too. But the confluence of taste and health becomes even more compelling with teas like Tie Guan Yin, which means Iron Goddess of Mercy<\/mark><\/a> in Chinese. This famous oolong, from China\u2019s Fujian Province, undergoes a series of important steps that transform the tea leaves into an immensely captivating and popular tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
