Why is our Ginger Tea different?

We carry only 100% authentic Bentong Ginger, direct from farmers in the highlands of Bentong, Malaysia. It is absolutely pure and not mixed with “Bentong” Ginger from China or Thailand.

Bentong Ginger grows on the cool mountains where clean natural water, crisp air and nutritionally-rich soil is in abundance. The ginger is harvested only one time a year, allowing its sweet flesh to absorb a full range of nutrients from the fertile soil. This makes it extremely nutritionally dense with a good concentration of active compounds which give Bentong Ginger its amazing healing properties. After the yearly harvest, the land is then left to fallow for 5 to 10 years before it is used to grow Bentong Ginger again.

This variety of ginger is spicy, sweet and fragrant. It is harvested and quickly sliced to intensify its flavor. A sprinkling of 100% natural honeyleaf (for teabag orders only) gives a subtle sweetness and balances its bold spiciness perfectly, sans the sugar.

Active Ingredients:

Gingerols and the volatiles oils sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes are the main active ingredients of ginger root. The active ingredients in ginger are what improve the elasticity of the skin by preventing free radical damage, keeping your skin looking firm and youthful.

Herbalists have relied on ginger as a medicine and flavoring for more than 2,500 years. The early Greeks mixed it into breads (hence the first gingerbread), and North American colonists sipped nausea-quelling ginger beer, the precursor of modern ginger ale. Today, many cultures continue to rely on ginger for controlling nausea and also for reducing inflammation.

THE WONDERFUL HEALTH BENEFITS OF BENTONG GINGER TEA

Helping the Digestive System
Consuming moderate amounts of ginger tea can help improve morning sickness. It may also assist nausea experienced by patients undergoing chemotherapy. It can also be used as a natural mouth freshener

Improving Chronic Pain & Inflammation
Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties. This is potentially why patients with rheumatoid arthritis find it helpful. Best mixed with lemongrass, also a powerful anti-pain herb, for this purpose

Brain Health & Anti-Stress
Research has shown that ginger blocks prostaglandin – a chemical in the body that causes inflammation of blood vessels of the brain. It may help migraine sufferers. Ginger can improve motion sickness. Ginger tea may also help stress. Ginger has been used in aromatherapy and the spicy aroma released in tea helps you relax.

Aids Circulation
Gingerols prevent platelets from sticking together. These are partly responsible for blood clotting by thinning the blood which in turn helps your circulation. Unlike aspirin, ginger tea has a calming effect on the stomach. Some preliminary studies suggest that ginger may also help reduce cholesterol. This effect may also help protect against heart disease. Again, further studies are required to establish this.

Anti-Cancer Benefits
Interesting results were found when analysing the effects of ginger on ovarian cancer. Researchers discovered that ginger may have caused the death of ovarian cancer cells. In colon cancer, ginger may slow the growth of cancer cells. Further studies are in process to discover how ginger can benefit cancer patients

Anti-Infection
Ginger tea has always had a reputation of being effective during infections such as colds or respiratory tract infections. Chinese studies have shown that ginger can be effective against the influenza virus. Indian studies have suggested that it is a immunity booster
