An Indian classic
Fennel has a long history of medicinal, cultural and magical uses – especially as a digestive aid. For hundreds of years, people have munched fennel seeds during a fast to quiet their rumbling stomachs and soothe hunger pangs. And this mild blend of fennel, cumin and coriander is a classic ayurvedic digestive remedy: walk into any ashram and you’ll find them sipping it all day long. We recommend trying a cup before or after a heavy meal.
Ingredients: Coriander seeds, fennel seeds, cumin seeds.

I’m preparing a Timolino of this as I type. I came across this a few weeks ago because it was discounted on the website. I have stomach issues so thought I would give it a try. I’m so glad I gave it a shot. The cost of putting this tea together would be substantial if buying the spices individually, so it’s nice to have them all together. And it works.
After reading up on these types of teas, I’ve learned that the longer you can steep it, the better it is (and the better it works). I would agree. I usually just get mine ready in the Timolino first thing in the morning and then it’s ready at lunchtime. Yup, I usually steep it between four and five hours. And it’s wonderful. I really enjoy the flavour, and I’m amazed at how well it works. If I sip on this all day, I don’t tend to suffer from my usual stomach problems (just general nausea and ickiness, nothing serious). It’s also nice after a Bikram class (even though drinking something hot after coming out a hot classroom can be difficult). It’s unfortunate that this has been discontinued. I’ve stocked up and hopefully it will last me a little while. I’ve gone through about 150g in the past month.
It’s become a very comforting flavour and aroma for me.
Flavors: Anise
This tea has always peaked my interest. I love the savory notes of this tea, and am always transported to a warm kitchen filled with great food! If you are feeling hungry, or even if you’ve just enjoyed a delicious meal, this tea is packed with benefits, which always equals a happy tummy.
Sigh Oh, memories. This tea tugs on the heartstrings a bit for me, because is like the liquid version of a person I know. Haha… and it makes me laugh. :) It’s like walking into an East Indian spice market, hands down. I really like the powdered spice taste… instead of just a chili kick. You can really taste the coriander and the fennel, which reminds me EXACTLY of those little seeds you sometimes get after many East Indian meals. I find it really works well, which is not something you might expect to taste in tea, but I like it. I don’t know if it would be one I could drink every day, but I’m a fan of the fiery little kick. Perhaps though, I may just need a holiday.
