Tea is an excellent drink to accompany the most intimate occasions. In particular, due to the fact that it contains a powerful molecule for well-being: theanine. It is thanks to the relaxing effect of this component that tea can be considered a great “social lubricant” to stimulate authentic conversations and connections between people.
Aphrodisiacs have been used for centuries to help set the stage for intimacy and to improve the mood of a romantic encounter. In particular, tea blends have been used around the world to include unique herbs and spices that release fragrant, aromatic chemicals that naturally activate libido.
When we want to create a loving atmosphere, we think of champagne, oysters, ambient music and comforting lighting. However, tea can also be an integral part of the set of elements we need to create a special mood.
What are aphrodisiacs?
Aphrodisiacs are herbs that help open the body, mind and heart to feelings of love. They may be designed to inspire creativity, open up relationships between you and others, elevate your sense of humor and instill desire.
The term “aphrodisiac” comes from Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. Aphrodisiacs have the ability to awaken sexual desire, increase sexual potency and promote feelings of love in all of us.
In today's busy world, these elements have the power to help us slow down, set intentions, and enjoy one of life's greatest, most natural pleasures. And because it is natural for humans to desire intimacy and pleasure, spicing up our lives with an aphrodisiac can make perfect sense, as it helps us achieve those more sensual states of mind, increasing our sexual desire.
It is believed that some aphrodisiacs have the ability to increase blood flow to certain points on our body, while others are simply able to help calm our mind, so that we can relax freely in intimacy. Its effect can occur immediately, but it can also reveal itself gradually.
The power of the chocolate-mint combination
The Mayans referred to chocolate as the “food of the gods”. But when we talk about the combination of mint and chocolate, one of the first thoughts that comes to mind is related to the famous After Eight dessert, which complemented family dinners.
As a stimulating aphrodisiac, chocolate is wonderful for uplifting the spirit and intensifying feelings of love – at least, that's what many believe. It is known that this food contains antioxidants and that the darker it is, the greater its benefits for our body.
According to science, chocolate produces natural opiates in the brain (substances associated with well-being), something that can help us achieve greater sexual liberation.
Mint's aphrodisiac reputation, in turn, is linked to its stimulating properties. The main active ingredient in peppermint is menthol, which is a type of alcohol and produces the herb's typical cooling sensation. Thus, its compounds come together to increase concentration and our state of alert, making the mind more aware of the agents of sexual excitement. At the same time, its characteristic aroma also stimulates our physical senses, awakening desire.
According to traditional sources, inhaling the aroma of mint can activate the imagination and trigger erotic dreams among women. And since it is the brain that is in control of all sex hormones, anything that stimulates the mind to feel “erotic” is bound to awaken the libido and possibly lead to more intense orgasms.
