Banyan Botanicals CCF Tea / 227 Grams

CCF stands for Cumin, Coriander, Fennel, three seeds that got tired of sitting in your spice rack doing nothing. This Ayurvedic tea has been simmered up for centuries, and Banyan Botanicals just bagged the whole operation into 227 grams of loose tea so you don't have to measure out seeds like a nervous chemist every morning.

What's Actually Going On Here

Cumin, coriander, and fennel are three different seeds that somehow all taste like "this is good for you," which is rare, because usually the healthy thing tastes like a decision you regret. Together they make a tea that's mild, a little sweet, a little earthy, and warm enough to drink any time of day without it feeling like a whole event. This blend is traditionally used in Ayurveda to support digestive comfort and a healthy digestive process, which is a polite way of saying your gut will thank you without anyone getting specific about why.

Fennel seed in particular supports digestive comfort and a calm stomach. Cumin supports healthy digestion and nutrient absorption. Coriander supports a healthy inflammatory response and overall digestive wellness. None of them are doing anything dramatic. They're just three seeds, showing up, doing the seed version of a 9-to-5.

How You Drink It (Spoiler: You Boil Water)

• Steep a spoonful in hot water for several minutes, the way you'd steep any tea that isn't trying to impress anyone
• Drink it throughout the day, especially around meals, since that's when your digestive system is technically "on the clock"
• No caffeine, so this isn't going to wake you up, it's just going to sit there supporting things quietly
• Loose leaf, which means you'll want a strainer, because nobody wants to chew their tea

Why This One

CCF is one of those formulas Ayurvedic practitioners have been handing out for generations because it works on something as unglamorous and universal as "did your food get where it was going." Banyan Botanicals sources the seeds and blends them so you're not standing in your kitchen trying to eyeball a 1:1:1 ratio of three different spices like you're baking something instead of just trying to feel normal after lunch. It supports a healthy gut, promotes digestive comfort, and nourishes your overall sense of balance, which in Ayurveda terms is a pretty big deal and in regular terms means you're not bloated. 227 grams is a lot of tea. You will be drinking this for a while. That's kind of the point.
