Topic: Chanakara Teas ... Inspired by the Chakras

I've tried all these teas and can say they do seem to work on the chakras.   I was impressed with the 6th and 7th charka teas since I could feel a stimulation of these chakras after I drank the tea.   These two teas would be great for meditation too.

My favorite one, was the 4th chakra tea, very soothing, and heart awakening.   I highly recommend them!

Re: Chanakara Teas ... Inspired by the Chakras

After hearing about these teas while chatting with Pleiadean Healer in IRC, I decided that I'd like to try them too.  I received them yesterday, tried one of each type, and I've got to say that I liked them, as well.  I was thinking the best way to describe them was to list the teas and my impressions of each...so here goes:

(Note: Actually, I'm not sure if you're supposed to drink one cup of each in succession, but that's what I did, and I got a little "happy", if you know what I mean.) lol

1 Chakra: (Red Berry Rooibos)  smells very sweet and fruity, reminded me of gummi bears!
                   Effects:  slightly increased body temperature and felt like a little energy rush (not confined to the 1st chakra)

2 Chakra: (Dragonfruit)  love, LoVe, LOVE the aroma and taste of this tea.  couldn't quite place the scent, but it was very familiar, like a mild, fruity, minty licorice....very subtle, though
                   Effects:  nothing specific to the 2nd chakra, but I did have a little "high" after drinking this tea. 

3 Chakra: (Vanilla Honeybush)  very comforting, warm vanilla-honey scent, with subtle citrusy flavor
                   Effects:  slight "hum" of energy in my 3rd chakra (and it wasn't just a tummy rumble) wink

4 Chakra: (Melon & Green)  I really liked this one!  grape/happy/candy/warm
                   Effects:  tickling sensation in my 4th chakra & a very contented feeling overall

5 Chakra: (Blue Ginger)  watch out for this one...it's "potent" both in flavor and effects.  It smells like patchouli, has a slight lemon taste, and leaves a very mild jalapeno burn in your mouth
                   Effects:  my voice seemed to resonate from my root chakra when I spoke after drinking this tea, and I was feeling a bit "goofy".  Also, had 2 ear ringings (right ear), that continued on and off for the rest of the evening.  yikes

6 Chakra: (Guan ¡ban ¡)  It's Purple!!  Okay, besides that.... there's really nothing more to say... to me, this tea had such a subtle flavor that I almost didn't taste it at all, but that might just be because the previous tea was so intense. 
                   Effects:  it seemed to cancel-out the effects of the previous teas, rebalancing me to a "normal" state of awareness.  other than that, nothing noticable.

7 Chakra: (White Lotus)  very mild, subtle, sweet and flowery....actually the chamomile is what stood out for me
                   Effects:  again, no noticable effect besides getting a little sleepy from the chamomile, but a very nice tea to relax with

Oookie...so those were my first impressions of each of the teas.  I plan on trying the 6th and 7th again, just on their own.  That 5th tea was so strong that I feel any tea afterwards didn't really have my full attention, so to speak.

Overall, I'm thrilled with them and would recommend them to anyone who's looking for a nice change of pace.  I'm so glad that JP told me about them.  Thanks, JP! big_smile  I was getting bored with my Lipton's! heh heh

Namaste,

Pinkrlyq,
Wow.... great to see you got those teas.   

I really enjoy drinking them since it makes tea drinking something extra in a way.   You can feel subtle things going on (as you said i your post)... right after you finish a cup.

I've always been drawn to the 6th and 7th chakra tea and was very happy to find out that the 7th chakra tea has lotus bloosoms in it, since I couldn't find a decent tea with these in them and had always wanted to try it.

The blends in these teas are very well thought out, I was impressed with whomever put them together, I get the impression much experimentation went into creating them.

I even have more intense dreams when I have cup just before bed.

Great teas... for those looking for a spiritual lift!

I would hope more try them...it does make tea drinking fun again...!!
