Saffron tea contains antioxidants that reduce the risk of developing heart disease. It reduces cholesterol and regulates blood pressure. Plus, saffron has anti-cancer qualities as it includes a compound called crocin which inhibits the growth of human cancer cells.he saffron that we use is actually the stigma or style of the Saffron Crocus flower.

In France, kids start school very early : school starts at age 2 (for 52% of children) or 3 (for almost 100%) and children spend 2 or 3 years in maternelle (kindergarten). School is compulsory until age 16. In primary schools, French kids spend more hours a year (almost 900, like Italy and the Netherlands) than other European countries (less than 700 for Austria, Germany and Finland) : in France, less days of school (vacations are a national value) and more hours per day.
