Back with another novelty product, the Akshata brand continues to make its mark as the leading pioneer in promoting health and wellness the traditional way. The old is in with a twist as for the first time in the world, the health conscious consumer can sweeten their tea the right way. In an all-inclusive pack, Akshata presents herbal tea alongside honey/jaggery as an alternative to sugar, redefining tea consumption as we know it.
In an attempt to rekindle the tales of old, this series of products is promoted by Akshata as a commemoration to Sri Lanka’s ancient heroines and heroes. For example, the Akshata ‘Ranawara’ herbal tea which promotes clear skin and health benefits for the body is dedicated to Queen Soma Devi who was acclaimed for her beauty, bravery, and sacrifice to save King Valagamba in 77 BC. In addition to the myriad of health benefits, consumers are thereby encouraged to experience a taste of nostalgia with each sip of Akshata herbal tea.
Grains N Green Managing Director Roshan Perera stated: “Today’s engaged health-conscious consumers are increasingly reaching for items that contribute towards their nutrition and fitness. Sugar is no longer included in this list due to its negative impact on one’s health which is why healthy sugar alternatives should be encouraged. Putting honey or jaggery in tea is a much healthier choice than using sugar as it does not raise blood sugar levels as quickly, and with our product you can get the tea as well as the sweeteners all in one pack. This saves time, money, and is a healthier alternative to drinking tea with sugar.”
Available at high-end supermarkets like Spar and Glomark as well as online at the Akshata store, Akshata herbal tea with bees’ honey/jaggery is on its way to revolutionise the way the world drinks tea.
