Qi Green Tea with Ginkgo
For memory and vitality
Qi Green Tea with Ginkgo combines the natural sweetness of high-altitude green tea with vanilla and the high antioxidant value and traditional healing power of premium, organic ginkgo.
Ginkgo is the second oldest living tree species in the world, and has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for millennia to increase memory and vitality. More recently, western studies have shown promise in increasing memory retention as well as treating dementia and Alzheimer’s [1]. Ginkgo is also known in modern medicine as a powerful aid in blood circulation [2].
Qi Green Tea with Ginkgo is available in Woolworths/Safeway, as well as selected IGA’s, FoodWorks and premium organic and Fairtrade retailers.
Ingredients: Fairtrade green tea* 74%, ginkgo leaf* 15%, licorice*, peppermint leaf*, cinnamon*, fennel seeds*, natural vanilla* and caramel flavour*
