With Thanksgiving among us, it’s time to find your eating pants. The holiday is all about giving thanks and showing how grateful you are for what you have. But truthfully, we’re all selfish and use this holiday to gorge without feeling guilty. The least you can do is be honest with yourself. You’re not there for your family, you’re there for the food (probably). And at some point, you’re going to wish you could crawl into a hole and sleep forever. That is unless you have one of the teas good for digestion on deck.
The amount of tea available is almost absurd. But that’s because they all serve a different purpose–both in cultural practice and enjoyment. So if you plan on eating until you’re uncomfortable this holiday season, you should stock up on teas good for digestion.
