Stash Triple Ginseng Herbal Tea
Ginseng is famous as a medicinal herb, reputed to enhance performance under stress and boost immune response. It has long been cultivated in China, Korea and Japan. Ginseng literally means "root of man", as the root resembles the shape of a human body. To cultivate ginseng, seeds are planted in a greenhouse and pampered for two years. The two year old seedlings are planted in shady, moist locations with good drainage. In five to seven years the roots reach marketable size, however ginseng improves with age and has been known to live for 400 years. Perhaps that is why the Chinese believed that ginseng increased longevity!
Marco Polo wrote about ginseng in the 13th century. Centuries later, a delegation sent by the King of Siam to visit Louis XIV, presented him with this prized medicinal plant. From then on, ginseng was widely used by wealthy Europeans for exhaustion and malaise. By the 18th century it was popular in America, especially when it was found to be indigenous to the new world.
The ginseng root has since been recognized as a potent overall health tonic. There are two main varieties of ginseng: Panax (both Chinese and American) and Eleutherococcus (also called Siberian). The main active ingredients in ginseng are called "ginsenosides".
Ginseng is considered an "adaptogen", a substance that protects against physical and mental stress and helps body functions return to normal more quickly than they otherwise would. Ginseng is touted for increasing physical and mental endurance. It has also been studied as an aid in preventing heart disease, as it helps to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Ginseng may also inhibit growth of some cancerous tumors.
Although all types of ginseng have similar properties, there are some subtle differences. Stash combines all three of the most popular ginseng roots in order to provide the most benefiting qi (vital energy), normalizing body functions, restoring vigor, increasing energy, extending endurance, fighting fatigue and preventing nervous tension. Our Master Blender added subtle citrus flavors of lemon and orange. The brewed drink is almost colorless and flavorless with just a hint of "earthiness" and light lingering citrus aftertaste. This tea is refreshing anytime you need a lift.
Hint: Since this tea is so light in flavor, brewing it in combination with your favorite tea provides flavor plus the invigorating health benefits of 100% ginseng root.
