CCF Tea (cumin, coriander, fennel) is good any time of year, any day, all day. It’s especially an ally for those who experience fall allergies, inflammation, digestive upset, bad breath, GIT stagnation, and so on! In such cases, drinking 1/2 to 1 cup of this warm tea first thing in the morning before food is a great way to jump start your digestion and clear out metabolic waste from the night. Sip it throughout the day for concentrated benefit, or 1/4 a cup before or after a meal to tackle stubborn digestive discomforts.
