Saffron Tea

Our Saffron Teas are achieved through a careful blend of teas from different origins with the most exquisite and exclusive Superior Spanish Saffron. Using saffron in tea actually preceded its use in food where Pliny the Elder told of twenty curative uses for saffron tea. Not to mention, the main aromatic component of saffron, the Safranal. Saffron helps digestion, it is antioxidant, carminative and emmenagogue (it regulates menstruation). The bitter principles of saffron give bitter stomach tonic properties, while the crocin has a cholesterol lowering effect. In gynecology it is recommended in cases of painful or limited periods, as a uterine stimulant, but it must be used with caution. Saffron stimulates sweating and it is used in case of fever. It is also widely used to relieve pain caused by teething in children.
