Digestive tea?

I was wondering if Adagio has ever considered a special digestive tea? I have tried an interesting mix of peppermint, fennel and licorice at an Indian restaurant after dinner which they told me was good for my stomach after a big meal. I would love to buy a similar blend if ever offered by Adagio.

try a lemon tea or lemon peppermint blend. the acid in the lemon aids in digestion

I find puerh to do a better job than any herbals. Adagio may not have the biggest selection of puerh, but what they do have should do well.

My favored tea in this matter is Japanese Sencha. It not only reduces the negative effects of a large meal, but can also satisfy the after-meal sweet tooth.
Some people use chamomile, but I resist during the day because of it's sedating effects.

I have not heard of puerh or tried Sencha, so I'll give that a shot. I really liked the flavor of the mint, fennel and licorice, though, so I will continue to look. It looks like Yogi Tea makes something similar.

If you are into traditional Indian medicine, Lochan Tea Ltd. carries a line of Ayurvedic herbal blends you might be interested in.

Yogi Tea makes a type called "Stomach Ease" and it contains fennel and licorice. It is delicious too!

Bless your heart!

I hear that ginger can help the digestion.
