R-U-VED Inc., Redmond, WA, has reformulated a line of Ayurvedic tea blends that are designed to balance one’s Ayurvedic constitution, or “dosha,” called Vata, Pitta or Kapha. ProVata, ProPita, ProKapha, Energy Tea and Green Tea include synergistic blends of organic or wild-crafted herbs to maximize balancing effects, along with “tea cut leaves” to enhance flavor and aroma. ProVata tea (caffeine free) helps to ground and warm the body and mind. It is especially helpful for those with Vata disorders, or for most people during the winter season. Signs of Vata imbalance are an over-active mind, fatigue, insomnia, gas and bloating and constipation. A balanced Vata feels happy, calm and energetic. Ingredients are ajwain, black cardamom, cinnamon, fennel, ginger and licorice. ProPita tea (caffeine free) includes soothing, cooling and pacifying herbs to relax and cool overheated pitta people, and is ideal for many people during the steamy summer months. Signs of Pitta imbalance are irritability, anger and digestive difficulties. A balanced Pitta has a good appetite, a sharp intellect and good memory retention. Ingredients include cardamom, cinnamon, holy basil, licorice and sandalwood. ProKapha tea, invigorating, stimulating and pungent, helps to decrease Kapha sluggishness and congestion, great for Kapha-types and many individuals during the spring season. Signs of Kapha imbalance are lethargy, persistent sleepiness, poor appetite, difficulty losing weight, tendency towards colds and phlegm. A balanced Kapha is strong, energetic, and caring, with an easygoing attitude. Ingredients include cloves, cardamom, ginger, green tea and cinnamon. Energy Tea ingredients include ashwagandha, bacopa monnieri, cardamom, gota kola, cinnamon, ginger and green tea. Himalayan Green Tea offers natural support for the immune system and overall body wellness.
