In today's fast-paced world, it can be challenging to maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle. We often find ourselves rushing from one task to another, with limited time to unwind and enjoy the things we love. That's why it's essential to find ways to slow down, relax, and take care of ourselves. One way to do that is by incorporating Tabúcha’s tartary buckwheat tea into our daily routine.
Origins of Tartary Buckwheat Tea
Tartary buckwheat tea comes from the seeds of the tartary buckwheat plant which is native to central and eastern Asia. The plant has been grown in China, Japan, and Korea for centuries and is an important part of traditional medicine in these cultures. In recent years, tartary buckwheat tea has gained popularity due to its many health-promoting benefits.
Health Benefits of Tartary Buckwheat Tea
Tartary buckwheat tea is a caffeine-free, powerhouse of antioxidant compounds such as rutin, quercetin, and kaempferol, which help to protect the body against oxidative stress and damage. This, in turn, may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases and support your overall health – here’s how:
1. Reduces Inflammation
The tea’s high levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds help reduce inflammation in the body. Inflammation is a normal immune response, but long-term chronic inflammation caused by things like an unhealthy diet, pollution, stress, or poor sleep can contribute to a variety of health problems including chronic diseases. By reducing inflammation, tartary buckwheat tea may help towards preventing these conditions.
2. Lowers Blood Pressure
Tartary Buckwheat Tea may help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. The tea’s health-promoting properties work to relax blood vessels, improve blood flow, and lower blood pressure, whilst also having a positive impact on maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.
3. Supports Immunity
This tea contains vitamins and minerals that can help support the immune system. For example, it is a good source of B vitamins, which is essential for energy production, resilience against stress and the maintenance of healthy skin, hair, and nails.
4. Improves Digestive Health
Due to its high fibre content, tartary buckwheat tea helps regulate bowel movements and improves digestive health. The tea’s flavonoids (naturally occurring substances in plants) also promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, improving overall gut health.
5. Supports Weight Loss and Balances Blood Sugar Levels
Tartary buckwheat tea's fibre content helps you feel full for longer, reducing the likelihood of overeating and supporting healthy weight loss. If that wasn’t enough, this fibre content slows down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, helping to prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes. This means more sustained energy levels throughout the day!
6. Has a detoxifying effect on the body
Tartary buckwheat is believed to help remove toxins and heavy metals from the body by binding to them and preventing them from being absorbed. This detoxifying effect is thought to be due to the high concentration of flavonoids and other compounds in Tartary buckwheat.
Making Tartary Buckwheat Tea
Tartary buckwheat tea is easy to prepare. Simply add 1 teaspoon of tartary buckwheat granules to a cup and steep the roasted seeds in hot water (just off the boil) for 3 minutes, then strain and serve hot. You can also enjoy it cold, either as an iced tea or as a refreshing summer beverage. And what's more - the tea can be rebrewed 2 to 3 times, and the granulas can be used as a topping to your favourite breakfast smoothie!
In a world that can feel increasingly hectic and stressful, taking a few minutes throughout the day to prioritise your wellbeing is essential. This delicious and unique tea not only offers a range of potential health benefits but is also a great way to relax and enjoy a moment of peace and tranquillity – without the caffeine buzz. Its distinctive sweet cookie-like flavour makes it the perfect addition to your morning, afternoon, or night-time rituals. So, what are you waiting for?
