Morning Teas: 

Your morning sets the tone for the rest of your day; whether you’re readying for work or a day out, the right tea can help boost your energy. Morning teas are all about giving you a gentle life without the crash of caffeine throughout the day and thus, it is important to know which blends to choose for these moments. 

Black teas for a bold start

Black teas, either pure ones ike a Kumari Gold or Breakfast Tea or a flavoured one like Thyolo Moto and African Earl Grey, are rich in flavor and offer a moderate caffeine boost. They’re perfect for jumpstarting your day with focus and clarity. The complex flavors of these teas pair wonderfully with breakfast classics like toast, eggs, or even a sweet pastry. The caffeine in black tea releases gradually, offering a sustained energy that promotes a health calmness and awareness which is perfect for a productive morning. 

Green Teas for a Gentle Lift

For those seeking a lighter option, green tea provides a subtler caffeine boost along with an antioxidant-rich start to your day. This tea supports metabolism and provides hydration, that is refreshing and revitlalizes without being overwhelming. Its natural balance is a wonderful and enjoyable way to start your early day. Try our Thyolo Roasted Green, Pearl Green or Kukicha one morning. 

Matcha for the Ultimate Energy Boost

If you’re in need of something more potent, a cup of matcha delivers a concentrated dose of caffeine and antioxidants. Matcha is ideal for busy mornings or pre-workout energy. Since you’re consuming the entire tea leaf in powdered form, matcha offers a more sustained energy boost while enhancing focus and mood.

Evening Teas: Unwind and Relax into the Night

As the sun sets and the moon rises into the sky, the evenings bring forth a different mood. This gives a change to the brew you choose for your evening wind down. The right tea can help you shift gears and prepare for a restful night. Evening teas are caffeine-free or low in caffeine, focusing on relaxation and comfort. 

Herbal Infusions for Calm

Herbal teas, like Chamomile, Peppermint, Lemon Verbena or Lavender Blend, are the ultimate unwinding companions. These naturally caffeine-free options help reduce stress and promote relaxation in the mind and body. Chamomile can help with sleep, known for its sedative properties, while lavender’s soothing aroma can ease tension - together making the perfect bedtime brew. 

Ginger and Turmeric for a Health Boost

If you’re feeling a bit under the weather or need some digestive support especially this winter,  a cup of ginger or turmeric tea can work wonders. These teas are warming, soothing, and packed with anti-inflammatory benefits. These blends are perfect for an evening wind down, aiding in digestion, reducing inflammation, and providing a comforting warmth within the body that is perfect for cold winter evenings. 

Here are some Tips to Tailoring your Tea Routine: 

  • Consider Your Energy Needs: Choose caffeinated teas in the morning and caffeine-free options in the evening.
  • Pair with Your Meals: Enjoy bold black teas with breakfast and lighter teas like green or white with lunch. Herbal teas are great post-dinner companions.
  • Listen to Your Body: If you’re sensitive to caffeine, opt for low-caffeine teas like green or white earlier in the day and herbal infusions later on.
