Frequently asked questions
What is the Beat the Bloat Chinese herbal tea?
Beat the Bloat is root + spring's Dried Ginger and Palm Coconut Chinese Herbal Tea Mix, a whole herb blend made in small batches in the USA. It combines dried ginger, palm coconut, dried Asian pear, sweet and bitter almonds, solomon's seal and honey dates. In Chinese medicine it is traditionally used to support digestion, warm the middle and replenish fluids.
What does the Dried Ginger and Palm Coconut tea taste like?
It has a mild herbal taste with a little natural sweetness from the honey dates and Asian pear, a soft coconut note, and a gentle warmth from the dried ginger. Most people find it light and easy to drink. You can enjoy it hot or chilled, and sugar is optional since the dates already bring some sweetness.
How do you brew the Beat the Bloat tea mix?
Full brewing instructions come in the package, and prep takes about 2 minutes. These are whole dried herbs, not teabags, so they are slow simmered in a pot of water to draw out their properties. One package makes an entire pitcher, about 8 cups, which you can keep in the fridge and drink hot or cold through the week.
What is in the Dried Ginger and Palm Coconut tea mix?
The mix contains dried ginger (gan jiang), palm coconut (ye zi), dried Asian pear (ya li), bitter almonds (bei xing ren), sweet almonds (nan xing ren), solomon's seal (yu zhu) and dried honey dates. There are no additives, preservatives or unlisted ingredients. The bitter almonds are apricot kernels used in Chinese medicine and must be simmered, never eaten raw.
What does dried ginger do in Chinese medicine?
In Chinese medicine, dried ginger (gan jiang) is a warming herb for the middle burner, the stomach and spleen. It has long been used as a tonic for a sluggish, stagnant stomach and to ease nausea. In this tea it is balanced by cooling, moistening ingredients like Asian pear, solomon's seal and honey dates, so the blend warms without drying you out.
How often should I drink the Beat the Bloat tea?
Plan to enjoy a cup or two daily over the week it takes to finish the pitcher. That is how long we suggest drinking it to notice how it suits you. Chinese herbal teas work as food as medicine, so steady daily drinking matters more than one big cup. It is a nice habit after heavy meals or on dry, dehydrating days.
Who should avoid the Dried Ginger and Palm Coconut tea?
During pregnancy or breastfeeding, check with your practitioner before drinking this tea. The bitter almonds must always be cooked, so do not eat the herbs raw, and keep the dry mix away from children. If you have a nut allergy, skip it, since it contains almonds and apricot kernels. If you take prescription medicines, check with your doctor first.
How should I store the Beat the Bloat tea mix?
Keep the dry herb mix in a cool, dry place, and the bottom shelf of the refrigerator works well for the longest shelf life. Once you have brewed the pitcher, keep the tea refrigerated and enjoy it over the week. Each package makes one pitcher, about 8 cups.
