There’s nothing quite like a warm cup of tea to start your day—or enjoy anytime, really. Sipping tea throughout the day is a simple, comforting way to care for your body and support your overall wellness. Whether you’re trying to manage stress, improve digestion, or sleep better, tea can be a gentle and natural companion.
Let’s explore the best teas to enjoy in the morning, afternoon, and evening—and help you create a feel-good tea routine that fits your day.
Morning Tea Ritual
Good morning! There’s no better way to wake up than with a bold, energizing cup of tea. If you’re looking to cut back on coffee, high-caffeine teas are a tasty and healthier alternative. Many people say they get a nice energy boost without the jitters or crash that often comes with coffee. Favorites like British Breakfast or Earl Greyer black tea are great picks to kick off your day.
Try to enjoy your morning tea before diving into emails or scrolling through your phone. Use this quiet time to think about your day or just relax for a few peaceful minutes. You’ll feel more centered and ready to take on whatever comes your way.
Post-Lunch Tea Break
About 30 to 60 minutes after lunch is a great time for your second cup. If you feel sluggish after a heavy meal—or find yourself craving something sweet—tea can help!
Go for something that supports digestion and still tastes delicious. Our organic SuperDigest Teas are a great choice. They combine fermented ingredients with probiotics in every bag—something you won’t find in other premium teas.
Plus, good gut health is linked to better focus, less stress, and even improved memory. A lightly caffeinated pu-erh tea can perk you up without making you jittery. And if you’re craving chocolate, try a cacao cinnamon blend—it satisfies your sweet tooth and helps you stay sharp.

Afternoon Pick-Me-Up
It’s 3 PM, and your energy is tanking. Sound familiar? That mid-afternoon slump is real—our natural body clock makes us sleepy between 1 and 3 PM, especially if we didn’t sleep well or haven’t had enough water.
Instead of reaching for sugar, refresh yourself with a bold, flavorful tea. Peppermint or Vietnamese cinnamon tea are great choices—they wake up your senses and give you a natural lift. Take a short tea break away from your desk. It only takes a few minutes, and you’ll return feeling more focused and energized.
Evening Wind-Down
The day’s done, the chores are out of the way—now it’s your time. Whether you’re reading a book or catching up on your favorite show, a calming cup of herbal tea can help you relax and ease into the evening.
