 About This Blend

Loose Leaf Ceylon Tea dates back to the 19th century. Now recognised as Sri Lanka Tea, it is famous for its full-bodied flavour compared to the likes of Assam and Darjeeling Tea.

Meanwhile, Cinnamon and Cloves are perhaps better known for their inclusion in a multitude of culinary dishes. When combined with Orange Peel and Black Tea, however, you have a match made in heaven. 

How to Make Orange and Spice Tea

1. Purchase a Tea Filter or Infuser (both available here).
   
   
2. Place about five grams of Tea into the accessory.
   
   
3. With the item in a cup, pour in hot water at 100°C.
   
   
4. Allow it to steep for 3-5 minutes.

How to Serve: Best served without additions. 

Tasting Notes: Embrace a malty-spicy-citrusy fusion of flavour from the first to the last sip. 

Nutrition Value 

This blend is as nutritional as they come. Cloves, in particular, contain large quantities of Fibre, Manganese and Vitamin K. Cinnamon, on the other hand, boasts an abundance of Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Vitamin A and Eugenol.

Then there is Ceylon Tea, which has a considerable amount of caffeine to help you out of bed first thing in the morning. 

Orange and Spice Tea Benefits

But what, exactly, can these chemical compounds do? Research indicates that they function on a molecular level to slow oxidative stress and, as a result, reduce the risk of developing numerous chronic conditions.

Additionally, according to evidence, the constituents contribute to weight loss, improved cardiovascular health, aided digestion and enhanced cognitive function. 

Orange and Spice Tea During Pregnancy

Midwives and other medical experts tend to agree that Cloves as a standalone ingredient are safe to consume when pregnant. The consensus is a little more complicated with Cinnamon, which might be unsafe under certain circumstances.

It’s worth noting, too, that expecting mothers should limit their caffeine intake to 200-mg daily - the equivalent of four cups of Loose Leaf Black Tea.
