Tea and the Gut: How Herbal Blends Like Ours Aid Digestion

Good digestion is at the heart of feeling well. When your gut is happy, your whole body benefits — from better energy levels to a clearer mind. While there’s no single solution, herbal teas have long been used as a natural, gentle way to support digestive health.

In this blog, we’ll explore how certain herbs can ease bloating, calm the stomach, and create a mindful ritual after meals. And we’ll share how our Organic Après Meal Tea brings these herbs together in one calming cup.

Why Herbal Tea Supports Digestion

Many people turn to herbal teas for relief from bloating, indigestion, or that heavy feeling after a meal. Unlike caffeinated drinks, herbal infusions are naturally soothing, hydrating, and often contain compounds known to support the digestive system.

Here are some key herbs you’ll often find in digestive teas:

• Peppermint: One of the most researched digestive herbs. Peppermint contains menthol, which relaxes muscles in the digestive tract and can ease bloating or cramping.

• Lemongrass: Traditionally used across Asia as a digestive aid, its citrusy brightness is refreshing while gently stimulating digestion.

• Liquorice Root: Naturally sweet and soothing, liquorice is known for easing the stomach lining and calming irritation.

• Cinnamon: Warming and aromatic, often used to reduce discomfort after heavier meals.

• Rosehip: Rich in antioxidants, helping overall gut and immune support.

Herbal Remedies for Bloating

If you’ve ever felt that uncomfortable stretch after eating, you’re not alone. Bloating is one of the most common digestive complaints. Herbal teas like peppermint and lemongrass are popular natural remedies for bloating, helping the body process food more smoothly. Unlike quick-fix options, they work gently and can become part of your daily rhythm.

Organic Tea for Gut Health

Quality matters. Choosing organic tea for gut health ensures that what you’re drinking is free from chemical residues and pesticides — things your body doesn’t need to process while it’s trying to heal or balance. That’s why every ingredient we use is certified organic, from leaves to spices.

Our Digestive Blend: Après Meal

More than ten years ago, our master blender Jonny started perfecting a mix of herbs he’d been drinking after meals. The result is our Organic Après Meal Tea — a carefully balanced blend of:

• Organic Lemongrass

• Organic Liquorice Root

• Organic Peppermint Leaf

• Organic Ceylon Cinnamon

• Organic Rosehip

The flavour? Lemon, mint, and spice with a gentle sweetness — refreshing and light, naturally caffeine-free, and blended to calm the stomach while soothing the body.

Make It a Ritual

Brewing tea is more than just drinking something warm. It’s a moment of pause, a breath between the busyness of the day. After a meal, that ritual helps your body and your mind settle.

How to brew:

• 1 teaspoon of loose leaf per cup

• Steep 5–10 minutes

• Serve without milk

Our Après Meal blend brings together lemongrass, peppermint, liquorice, and more — herbs long valued for their digestive benefits. A refreshing, naturally caffeine-free way to round off any meal.
