Our Hello Joyous commitment to helping you find more joy everyday extends beyond organic, functional beauty products to some of the most pure and delicious teas you’ve ever tasted! Each one of our four functional tea blends was formulated to support your beauty and wellness from the inside out. Previously, we’ve put on our tea sommelier hats and shared a post to help you decide which one is best for you based on your palate and preferences.

For those who are looking for a detox tea that is gentle enough to drink daily that supports digestion and tastes fresh and delicious, our Everyday Detox Tea can’t be beat! Most detox teas have a medicinal or bitter flavour that makes them unpleasant or difficult to drink. That’s not a problem with our tea. You’ll love the fresh flavour from the ginger and lemon so much, you won’t be able to tell it’s actually a detox tea!

In this post, we’ll dig into the specific detoxification and digestion benefits of our bestselling tea, how to properly prepare it, and some of our favourite ways to enjoy it, hot or chilled!

What are the health benefits of Everyday Detox Tea? 

We recommend this tea for any of our customers who have sluggish digestion or are looking for a gentle way to support their organs of detoxification. Just like we don’t believe in gimmicks or fairy dusting in skincare, we think the best method to detoxify the body is to supply it with the nutrients and vitamins that it needs to do its job, no gimmicky cleanses or harsh laxative teas required! 

Our Everyday Detox Tea is formulated with herbs and spices that help support your liver, kidneys, and digestive system, which are all crucial for optimal detoxification. Every ingredient is organic, which means you won’t be increasing your toxic load by sipping on pesticide and herbicide-laden herbs! 

Ensuring your detox teas contain organic ingredients is important because otherwise you’re just re-toxing by sipping up these chemicals that your liver then needs to detoxify. Many of these chemicals can be hormone disrupting, which can wreak havoc on your skin goals, which is why we are passionate about only using organic ingredients in every product we produce, whether you drink it or put it on your body. 

The blend we crafted may also help alleviate indigestion, constipation, or sluggish digestion, which is why we suggest having a cuppa after you eat. Herbs such as dandelion help with fat production by naturally increasing bile production, making this perfect for those who want a little extra liver love.  

Everyday Detox Tea ingredient spotlight 

The ingredients in our teas are what make them so effective and delicious. Our Everyday Detox Tea has a base of green rooibos tea, which is the raw version of red rooibos. That means its flavour is more delicate, while also having a higher antioxidant profile to help your body fight oxidative damage from the inside out and lower inflammation.

 Our other digestion and detoxification supportive ingredients include: 

• Lemongrass: Contains potent antioxidants. It’s also a go-to remedy for digestion issues such as stomach cramping or indigestion. Lemongrass is a gentle diuretic that does not cause any side-effects. 
• Ginger: The gingerols in ginger help to relax the muscles of the gastrointestinal system to prevent gas and bloating. It’s also a powerful anti-inflammatory that helps balance blood sugar, both qualities that help improve digestion and detoxification. 
• Milk thistle: Rich in liver supportive antioxidants, such as silymarin, which provides a gentle liver detox. The antioxidants in milk thistle also protect and help regenerate liver cells.
• Hibiscus: Rich in antioxidants and plant compounds that support liver health to improve detox. It also supports kidney health and can act as a gentle diuretic to prevent fluid retention. 
• Dandelion:  A great herb to support liver detoxification. A rich source of potassium, it supports the health of the kidneys, acts as a natural diuretic, and increases bile production, which is helpful for fat digestion. 
• Burdock: Traditionally considered a blood cleanser and purifier that helps support the lymph system. It’s also a gentle natural diuretic that helps the kidneys excrete excess fluid. 
• Lemon verbena: Tastes fresh and is rich in antioxidant phenolic compounds that are highly anti-inflammatory.
• Lemon: Loaded with minerals and phytonutrients, lemons can help stimulate bile production, reduce bloating, and increase the detoxifying enzymes of the liver. Up the benefits of your detox tea by adding a squeeze of fresh lemon to your cuppa! 

How to brew the perfect cuppa Everyday Detox Tea

We love the ritual of brewing and steeping the perfect cuppa tea! The whole preparation process can be part of a mindfulness practice that grounds you in the moment and makes that first sip all the sweeter. To ensure you steep the benefits and the flavours from Everyday Detox Tea follow these instructions: 

1. Measure out two teaspoons of tea per one cup of water.
2. Place your favourite infuser in your mug or teapot with your tea.
3. Bring your water up to 98C / 208F.
4. Steep your tea for 3 to 5 minutes then remove. 
5. Sip slowly and enjoy!

This tea is so bright and fresh that it can be enjoyed hot or chilled.

To take your tea game to the next level, we love these simple additions: 

• Add a squeeze of lemon or lime to your tea. 
• Try adding some fresh ginger. We suggest grating a little fresh ginger and adding it to your infuser before steeping to really bring out that ginger flavour! 
• If you want to chill your Everyday Detox Tea, we suggest making a full pitcher and cooling it in the fridge. Before chilling, you can add some lemon and/or lime slices and some slices of fresh ginger to infuse. These additions make it look so pretty–the perfect way to serve it up for brunch or afternoon tea!

Whether you choose to sip on a cuppa Everyday Detox Tea or one of our other delicious wellness teas, you can feel confident knowing you’re getting the highest quality organic ingredients chosen to nourish your body.

When you open a bag of Hello Joyous tea, what you see is exactly what you get. There are no hidden ingredients, flavouring agents, additives, artificial colours, added sweeteners, or any other junk you don't want in your cup. Every one of our blends is designed to support health with every cuppa!
