Whole seeds, flowers and roots are used throughout, and each serving can be steeped twice.
The Herbs

Fennel delivers aromatic properties that relax the muscles of the intestines, helping to ease gas and post-meal bloating.

Cardamom provides a warming carminative action that supports healthy digestive secretions, helping to ease wind, nausea, and a sluggish appetite.
Cinnamon gently warms the intestinal tract, regulating blood sugar levels, circulation, and bowel movement regularity.
Dandelion Root supports liver and gallbladder function and the natural flow of bile assisting in the efficient breakdown and absorption of dietary fats.

Our Digestion Tea is designed to be easily integrated into your daily post-meal wellness routine:
The Infusion Method: Add 1 teaspoon of the loose herbs into a teapot or an infuser cup. Pour freshly boiled water directly over the blend. Cover the vessel immediately and let the herbs steep for 10 - 15 minutes. Strain, allow to cool to a comfortable drinking temperature, and enjoy.
Bonus Infusion: You can infuse the same serving of herbs a second time with boiling water to enjoy a subsequent cup later in the day.
When to Drink: We recommend drinking 1 - 2 cups per day, ideally shortly after your lunch or dinner. If you feel particularly heavy or uncomfortably full after a large meal, you can increase your intake up to 3 cups per day.

A Post-Meal Ritual
Mindful Eating: Pay close attention to every bite, chew your food thoroughly, and eat at a relaxed pace.
Stop at Satisfied: Consume moderate amounts, stopping when you feel comfortably satisfied rather than heavily full.
Honor Dinner Timing: Try not to eat heavy meals close to bedtime to give your stomach time to settle and minimise the likelihood of nighttime acid reflux.
Walk After Meals: A 15-minute walk after the meal helps to settle your stomach and refresh.
Fennel and cardamom are the traditional after-meal herbs for bloating and trapped wind, and both are in Digestion Tea with chamomile, meadowsweet, cinnamon and dandelion root. Drink a cup after eating.
Carminatives are aromatic herbs traditionally taken after food for bloating and trapped wind — fennel, cardamom, caraway, peppermint. The practice of handing out fennel seeds after a meal is a carminative tradition several thousand years old.
After meals, which is when the aromatic seeds in it are traditionally taken. One cup after lunch and another after dinner is the usual pattern.
Yes. Meadowsweet contains naturally occurring salicylates, the compounds salicylic acid was first isolated from. If you are allergic or sensitive to aspirin or salicylates, do not drink this tea.
Digestion Tea is built on aromatic seeds for bloating and trapped wind after eating. Acid Calm is built on marshmallow root for acidity and burning. Choose the tea for fullness and wind, the capsules for acid.
Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. See your doctor rather than managing it at home if digestive symptoms are persistent, or if you have unexplained weight loss, difficulty swallowing or blood in your stool.
This functional herbal infusion has been carefully formulated by our Medical Herbalists to provide daily support for your digestive system, helping to ease general abdominal discomfort, balance excess acidity, and reduce post-meal bloating.
Yes, this blend is specifically designed with that discomfort in mind. It contains traditional carminative herbs like Fennel, Cardamom, and Chamomile, which contain volatile aromatic oils that help relax tense intestinal muscles, allowing trapped gas to disperse naturally. If your bloating is frequent or severe, we recommend reaching out to our team at info@zenmaitri.com for personalized advice.
We choose loose-leaf cuts because conventional paper tea bags often contain highly processed herbal dust that has lost its beneficial volatile oils, and they frequently contain hidden plastic sealants, glues, or chemical bleaches. Loose leaf ensures you receive the full natural potency of the plants while encouraging a more mindful brewing ritual.
One 65g bag contains approximately 30 servings, depending on your preferred brewing strength. Because our high-quality botanicals are structurally dense, you can safely infuse each serving a second time later in the day.
Yes, this blend is entirely caffeine-free and can be enjoyed comfortably in the afternoon or evening without impacting your sleep.
While the active botanical compounds remain stable if the tea cools down, our medical herbalists recommend drinking it warm. Warm liquids support healthy circulation and are much gentler on sensitive internal systems, helping you get the most comfort from the herbs.
