When you think of tea, brands like Lipton, Harney & Sons and The 1872 Clipper Tea Co. may undoubtedly cross your mind. And when you think of herbal tea, most people will think of the Chinese herbal teas that you will either love or dislike. If your idea of tea has been one that tea must either be black, green, or the kind of Chinese cooling tea, then you’ll probably change your mind after this, because Nilufer Tea brings you another kind of herbal tea that is beautiful, healthful and delicious.
Nilufer Tea is founded by Leah Yo. The name was inspired by Leah’s ex-boss when she was still working in marketing in the corporate environment. Leah’s ex-boss was an elegant lady, blooming with grace yet maintaining a sense of professionalism in her line of work. ‘Nilufer’ means ‘water lily’ in Persian, so it is no wonder why Leah attributed the beautiful pink flower to her. After all, the water lily is a resilient flower that exudes a unique classiness, much like her ex-boss.
With an outstanding role model in mind, Nilufer Tea was born.
Nilufer Tea aims to bring quality herbal tea to everyone. Each teabag is handcrafted with woven silk and filled with a unique blend of flowers and herbs. Every recipe is created carefully, every ingredient comes from ethical and organic sources, and every teabag is filled with thoughtfulness for those who are consuming the beverage.
As the ingredients are organic, they do not have pesticides laced within any buds or flowers. You can be rest assured that you are consuming tea that contains the essence of only the finest flowers and herbs. In fact, you can even consume the ingredients, like the dried lemon and dried strawberry, in the teabag if you are adventurous and curious.
One of the more well-loved ingredient that Nilufer Tea uses has got to be the dried lemon. Why are they so outstanding and why is Nilufer Tea so proud of it? After all, although lemons are healthy in theory, they can be difficult to consume due to its sharp sour taste. The truth of the matter is that the dried lemon originates from Setouchi, a region in Japan that has such ample sunlight and fresh air that even the lemons capture the rich essence of the environment. This gives the lemon a unique taste that consist of a balance between sweetness and tartness. The sweetness makes the lemon easier to swallow and the tartness is mellow but still characteristic of a lemon. That is why the lemons in the cute sachets of tea can actually be enjoyed by itself as well.
But how?
Nilufer Tea sources the lemons ethically from the small local farms in Setouchi. So every year, during the harvesting season, the fresh lemons are harvested and dried to bring to you the pretty and cute heart-shaped lemons. So if you want to experience the taste of fresh dried quality lemons, follow us on our Instagram, facebook and our website to keep yourself up to date with our heart-shaped lemons pre-orders. There is a limited number of packets of heart-shaped lemons, so should you want some for yourself, you should place your order when the pre-order becomes available to avoid any disappointment.
At Nilufer Tea, every tea that enters the market is a proof of the many hours of effort that are used to craft the product. Thus, we are also very proud to present our 5 types of teas:

My inspiration are my parents, my teachers and then all wonderful people that I’ve met in my life. In my childhood, reading books and dreaming, talking to my parents, I always wanted to travel and go to Tibet and learn yoga and Tibetan Medicine.
Challenges are always there. Always present in many forms, and all of them represent changes. Changes are everywhere. I had to relocate to different country, travel a lot to many places and my family also went through transformation. Vajrayana Buddhist practices allowed me to learn how to deal with physical, mental, and emotional problems, and that helps a lot. And medical knowledge helps to remain healthy.
Traditional Tibetan Medicine is incredibly effective in so many ways. It is such a beautiful system, deeply connected with spirituality and us humans as a whole. It is definitely worth the efforts study and life work.

Life can throw you some hard-hitting curveballs, leaving you to neglect your health and overlooking the “common” headache you get once in a while, and actually might even be more than that. You often brush it off, masking the often fleeting but sometimes unbearable and constant unease with a painkiller, and hope for the best.
Headaches are one of the most common health problems, and they can get so bad that you’ll find yourself experiencing bouts of nausea and vomiting. Popping painkillers every time you have one can do more harm than good in the long run, and leave you in the wake of some nasty side effects.
Here are some more effective ways that are gentle on your body while helping you to manage persistent headaches.

Green tea, chamomile tea, ginger tea, and peppermint tea are just some of the beverages known to be able to relieve migraines and some of their accompanying symptoms. Drinking them can help to ease your mind, and thus relieve the throbbing pain in your head.
Chamomile is packed with antioxidants, and together with its ability to calm anxiety and reduce inflammation, chamomile can help to lessen the impact of headaches. Ginger, too, has anti-inflammatory and pain relief properties, while peppermint has the ability to relax the nerves and reduce spasms in your gastrointestinal tract that can actually aggravate headache symptoms.
So if you find yourself frequently experiencing sudden and recurring migraine attacks, you can get yourself a cup of warm Nilufer Tea and let it work its magic. With quality herbs and fruits, the organic herbal tea will not only help ease your headaches, it can also confer a range health benefits for your body.

Many of us get headaches every now and then. But if you’re especially prone to them, you may have a gluten allergy, or even a celiac disease. So get yourself checked and take the necessary steps to cut gluten out of your diet. Common foods that contain gluten include wheat, oats, certain types of noodles, pancakes, waffles, and malt beverages.
Various forms of vitamin Bs aid in the formation of neurotransmitters, like serotonin, which may be lacking in those who suffer from migraines. When your body is short on one or more of the essential B vitamins, it causes energy slumps, unfocused thinking, and headaches. As these vitamins are crucial in regenerating brain cells, and improving immune function and cardiovascular health, it isn't surprising then, that a lack of them can cause your body to feel less than optimal.
To help your body synthesise adequate amounts of vitamin Bs required for a more optimised body and mind, you should consume foods that are rich in B-complex vitamins. Such foods include rice, whole-wheat pasta, potatoes, eggs, chicken, fish, milk, and green leafy vegetables.

Staying in one position for an extended period of time, like sitting in front of your computer hunched over, can lead to body tension and induce headaches. This position, with your head jutting out, puts an extra 20 to 30 pounds of pressure on your neck!
So to ease the immense strain you’re putting on yourself, try to take a break every 30 to 60 minutes. Stretch regularly and move your head and neck around in a circular motion. This will relieve the built up stress and can help prevent headaches.
The body is made up of around 70% of water. Hence, it is no wonder a feeling of unease wells up in the body when one is not properly hydrated. Consuming too much coffee, sugary drinks, and alcohol can leave us dehydrated and this is certainly one of the contributing factors that lead to a throbbing headache. Hydrating yourself with water may just be that simple (and free) remedy you need to keep you feeling full, energized and headache-free.

You can also quench your thirst with fruits and vegetables – watermelons, strawberries, cauliflower, and spinach contain about 92 percent water per volume, and they may hydrate your body twice as effectively as a glass of water.
Having poor sleeping habits can also cause frequent headaches. Not getting enough shuteye and sleeping too long can trigger migraines. So get some proper rest and change up your hectic lifestyle, so you no longer have to suffer through each day!

When our bodies retain more water than needed, for some or the other reason, it leads to edema, or also known as water retention. The said accumulation of excessive fluid in the cavities or tissues of our bodies may occur due to various reasons:
• Dehydration
• Lack of exercise and unbalanced diet
• Liver and kidney disorders
• Menstruation, menopause
• Poor circulation
• Vitamin deficiencies
In fact, one reason why many ladies are adverse upon hearing the term 'water retention' is because it confers a bloated appearance that makes them look bigger than how their bodies actually are.
Although water retention usually does not cause serious health problems, it may affect your health in the long run. The excess water may be retained in areas such as the feet, ankles and other lower parts of the body. This is due to the work of gravity pulling the water downwards. As a result, those areas may look swollen and can cause discomfort in some cases.
Hate that sluggish, stiff and swollen feeling in your body? Here are some herbs you can consider as a natural reliever of water retention to reduce the dreaded symptoms and lower water retention!

Not only is the light fluffy dandelion pleasing to the eyes, especially those of children, the premier herbal also acts as a gentle and diuretic tonic for our bodies. It contains a series of medicinal values which allows it to reduce liver, kidney, heartburn and digestive troubles. Of which, dandelion flushes out excess fluids, salt and foreign substances through increased urination. Take it as supplements or boil into tea, but be warned, some individuals may be allergic to dandelion so consult a medical professional before consumption!

If you love spicy herbs for their unique flavour and fragrance, then you'll be glad to familiarise yourself with fennel. It is a spicy, aromatic herb which reduces blood pressure, relieves gas and aids water retention. Drinking fennel tea on a regular basis can help flush out excess fluids. As a treat for your face, you can also place fennel teabags under eyes to soothe puffy eyes caused by awful fluid retention, thus giving your eyes a lighter and wakeful appearance. The scent of fennel is akin to aniseed and liquorice so this herb might require some form of acquired taste. But once you get into fennel, you'll never go back!

There cannot be anymore good things to be said about lemons! Besides being a fruit that assist in detoxifying the body, the lemon juice allows kidneys to function with ease, through a deep cleanse of excess fluid and other nasties. Its tangy flavour is also pleasant on the palate, so it is no wonder people often drink lemon water, as it gives the water a great taste and also confers to it a wealth of health benefits. Add honey and warm water for a delicious concoction, or mix lemon juice and parsley juice to combat water retention.

Known to promote perspiration and detoxification, the beautiful linden flower tea brews a cup of potent goodness. It contains a high concentration of beneficial phytonutrients and other diaphoretic substances, which hence allows linden to induce toxin release along with excess fat, water and salt in our bodies. Furthermore, it has been well-documented that phytonutrients are also great for the skin by giving it a youthful complexion. Sip on some linden flower tea now and settle your bloated stomach (or other swollen parts) in no time!

Pretty, powerful and packed with diuretic properties, hibiscus is an ancient flower that promises more than just a pop of colour. Hibiscus tea and its extracts have been used to prevent fluid retention, water weight gain, bloating and puffiness since forever. It may taste a little tart (like cranberries) so add some honey for a more pleasant pot of tea. If you prefer a floral blend with a mix of floral aromas, try our Rose Paradise tea – it includes hibiscus too! The beautiful blend of roses and hibiscus will transport you to a whole new garden filled with flowers.
