What does it mean to make a cup of tea? Water has the ability to disperse substances that are in plants, and this process has been used throughout history in bringing out the flavour and scent to make hot and cold drinks. Substances that pass from the plants into the water have taste, aroma and many health benefits. These benefits are acquired thanks to plants’ miraculous ability to act as a sophisticated laboratory to produce its own therapeutic materials. When these substances enter our bodies, they have a proven ability to help and cure us as well – both in balancing the body’s deficits and in preventing and treating diseases. Therefore it is possible for us to combine health with pleasure as part of our everyday routine. Until recently people used to drink mostly black or green tea, nowadays the tea culture has developed into many different directions and we can find numerous plants and parts of plants that are used in the tea making process. As a matter of fact, we can definitely say that the simple act of “making a cup of tea” has turned in to “preparing an infusion”. We know that one of the main advantages our Spice Way Fruit Infusions offer is that by eating the fruit, rather than simply drinking the diluted water in a herbal tea, you are adding extra health benefits to your body, and so, your way of life.
Why are plants so healthy? As we said, the plant is a sophisticated laboratory producing materials that assist it to synergize with nature and solve medical problems. Take for instance, Spice Way’s Divine Diet Infusion. This drink contains substances created by a plant called Garcinia Cambogia. The plant is grown in East Asia, mostly in Thailand and has a fruit that looks like an orange. The fruit’s peel is removed a few weeks before ripening, at which time substances that lower appetite are present in the skin. These substances can help us to regulate our eating, delay the onset of hunger, and in time, may generate a more efficient metabolism where body fat is turned into energy, rather than fat. Moreover, this plant can also slow down the development of sclerotic plaque, thus preventing hardening of the arteries, It also contains Rose Hip peel full of vitamin C that strengthens our body and our immune system during a state of intense and ongoing weight loss. An additional aid to weight loss is gained in this infusion by grapefruit peel rich in dissolvable fibers. The infusion’s beautiful red color is obtained by the plant Hibiscus known for its good influence on blood sugar levels and also which is high in Vitamin C.

The mixture of fruit, improves digestion and enriches the body with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes. In the dried fruit there are dissolvable fibres that have a good influence on the regulation of absorbing these fibres into the intestine, balancing acidity and the absorbtion of sugar. Moreover, two enzymes in this infusion assist in the digestion of proteins thus making it excellent after eating meat. One is Bromalin, present in pineapple, and the other is Papain present in papaya, both these react and produce Pepsin which aids the digestion of meat and absorption of proteins improves significantly.
