Chi Time Teas started trading in 2017 however, they were developed over many years leading up to that. We specialize in a range of teas specially designed to taste delicious whilst assisting the body to a state of balance and helping people with various health issues. The aim was to make herbal teas that looked beautiful, taste good and worked. We have no added flavourants, sugar or colourants in our loose-leafed or iced teas.
We have 17 different loose-leafed blends and two herbal infused iced teas.
*The loose-leafed blends are all completely unique in flavour and herbal components.
*The Immunitea iced tea is a super potent immune boosting blend with pineapple ginger fusion.
*The Post-activitea iced is a berry cherry blend with herbs specifically blended for muscle recovery and hydration, or just because!
Many herbal blends have a base of let’s say rooibos! They then simply add a small amount of functional herbs and claim that it fulfils a few specific health functions. “I am not saying that there is anything wrong with these teas at all but often the active ingredient component is minimal”. Ours however are a holistic culmination of many different herbs that work well together for each specific blend.
We did many case studies and tastings over the years, and up until today have not received negative feedback on any of our blends. All the herbal side-effects and contraindications were carefully studied and are taken note of on each tin.
What inspired the ICED TEA range and what are the flavors in the range?
The iced teas were inspired by COVID as I was helping out at a soup kitchen during Covid. The Soup was being made at our local craft brewer “who obviously wasn’t allowed to make beer in those times”. So I asked them how about making my loose-leafed Immunitea into an iced tea a year later we developed the Post-activitea iced and as a result we have many happy iced tea drinkers around SA now.
The general public seem to love the iced teas as they are really easy to drink but are super healthy and functional. But then, in the loose-leafed teas the Antigravitea (for weightloss), the Digestibilitea, the Serenitea (for sleep and calm), the Necessitea for radiant skin and a good few others are have amazing results up till now.
At Chi Time Tea we hope to give our clients an all round happy, tasty, unique and healthy taste explosion.
We love the ritual of making loose-leafed teas and we want our clients to feel the beauty of that too whilst fulfilling the necessary health function they require.
How would you suggest Chi Time Tea is best served?
*Most of our teas are infused either in a tea pot with a strainer, or a tea infuser.
*They are pretty delicious if you make your own iced teas too – especially in the warmer months.
*Our iced teas are best refrigerated and served chilled.
We definitely don’t promote drinking but many people seem to use them as mixers with their alcohol too!
