All this ingredients help give you the best natural night sleep or it is awesome after a stressful day at work or before major finals season.

It is also good for fighting viral infections like the common cold as well as helping with aging! so what do you say? forever young? i think yes!
CHAI: Is an herb infusion that contains clove, cinnamon, anise, ginger and nutmeg etc which is said to be believed in ancient Ayurvedic medicine to be mind clearing, vitalizing and calming. Plus it makes some of the BEST lattes in the whole wide world.
