DAVIDsTEA is venturing into the realm of adaptogen-infused blends for its new set of releases. The novel collection of blends is formulated to harness the beneficial powers of adaptogens to deliver a spectrum of health benefits. These benefits include relaxation, facilitation of sleep, augmentation of energy levels, and a host of other well-being enhancements.
Adaptogens bolster the body's ability to cope with stressors and promote overall balance. Adaptogens have been increasingly used in a variety of health-forward drinks as consumers begin to value functional advantages and rich, resonant flavors.
"Recently, we’ve seen a surge in functional mushroom products. Though new to western culture, mushrooms like reishi have been used for centuries in traditional Asian medicine. Much later, in the 1940s the term ‘adaptogen’ was coined by taxonomists to describe plants or fungi that help adapt to stress, however it is only now that the scientific community is really turning their attention to fungi," said Nadia De La Vega, Director, Tea Sustainability & Content.
