Cinnamon tea, an excellent digestive aid

Cinnamon is considered a superfood due to its high content of antioxidants, minerals (magnesium, calcium, iron, potassium) and vitamins C and B1. 

It is particularly effective at reducing fatigue, improving digestion and promoting gastrointestinal health among others. 

In Tea Shop, to better enjoy the benefits of cinnamon tea and achieve a full-bodied drink, we have associated cinnamon with Rooibos and made our own special blend: Rooibos Canela, a caffeine-free herbal tea that you can consume all day long, included in the evening after a heavy meal.

Cinnamon is also one of the “star ingredients” of two herbal teas: Indian Secret and Indian Yogi, in which it is mixed with some other ayurvedic spices: ginger, cardamom and cloves. 

If you prefer a more stimulating drink, try our selection of Black Teas (which contain caffeine) and choose among our tasty range of Cinnamon Black Tea, or our selection of Chai Teas - all the flavours of India in your cup!
