A cup of postivi-TEA to brighten up your day

Having a cup of coffee is everyone’s usual go-to drink to start the day and having several more cups to stay awake especially at home where everyone needs that extra push to get work done. But for non-coffee drinkers, whether it's to avoid too much caffeine or they’re not into the bitter taste, tea is a good alternative so we’ve rounded up some tea favorites from TWG Tea and Marks & Spencer to help you pick the perfect variant.

BREAKFAST

We all need a sip of something to wake us up in the morning, right? Marks & Spencer recommends their organic Pure Green Tea, which is just as effective as coffee in giving you that early boost but has a crisp, light and fragrant aroma. 

TWG Tea’s classic English Breakfast Tea is also perfect for early mornings. It was originally blended as an accompaniment to the traditional English breakfast. Very strong and full-bodied with light floral undertones, this TWG Tea broken-leaf black tea is perfect with morning toast and marmalade to start your day.

AFTER MEALS

Lunch is usually the heaviest meal of the day for some and tea is a drink that can help you with your digestion. Elegant and highly refined, the Geisha Blossom Tea is a TWG Tea blend of green tea with refreshing, ripe southern fruits that infuses into a fragrant cup that will calm and appease after a day's disruptions.

Marks & Spencer’s Pure Peppermint Infusion is the perfect after meal time. With pure dried peppermint leaves, it gives a light, clean, and refreshing flavor.

AFTERNOON TEA

Taking breaks in the afternoon can help alleviate the stress from the day’s ongoing work. Fix yourself a cup of tea to relax even just for a bit. TWG Tea's best-selling Silver Moon Tea is a blend of green teas accented with a grand berry and vanilla bouquet. Suave, with just a hint of spice, it’s a great green tea to enjoy in the afternoon.

Marks & Spencer’s full-flavored Earl Grey Tea blends mellow Ceylon with bright, refreshing Kenyan teas and natural bergamot oil. The natural zestiness of the bergamot compliments the vibrant tea base to create a delicious tea.

BEFORE BEDTIME

Chamomile Tea is all you need to help you slow down and finally relax after a long day. Sip a cup to help you get into a sleepy mood for that much needed rest. 

Soft and soothing, the Chamomile Tea features rare TWG Tea chamomile flowers that boast a rich honey aroma and yield a golden, theine-free cup to help unwind after a long day.
