Energy & Focus
If you're looking for a natural remedy to help stimulate the senses and gift a little energy and mental focus to your day, without the jitters, then look no further than our selection of premium teas.
Everyone knows the power of a good brew to help lift your energy levels and boost your brain power. However, when it comes to imparting a feeling of sustained energy, not all teas are created equal. Here we’ve collected together our top picks of premium teas that will perk you up and provide a little mental focus without giving you a caffeine overload. When it comes to feeling brighter and more focused, green tea is our go-to here at The Tea Makers of London. Produced by grinding the whole tea leaf, matcha powder is packed with antioxidants, making it the perfect natural pick-me-up, whether served as a tea or as a component of your favourite green smoothie. The caffeine in matcha has been shown to be released more slowly than in other teas, so we love it mid-morning, especially post-workout, as a way of keeping us going throughout the day. We’re also partial to Sencha – another famous Japanese green tea renowned for its gentle caffeine hit, and a year-round favourite that can be served hot or cold. Some of our top picks for perking us up aren’t true teas at all but are so vibrant and refreshing that they never fail to make us feel brighter. They’re also great later in the day, when you want to avoid caffeine. Try Lemongrass & Ginger for a zesty brew that will set your mouth tingling while easing your digestion, or perhaps an invigorating Peppermint that’s perfect for the post-lunch slump. There’s a reason the majority of people plump for an assertive cup of black tea first thing in the morning. Bold, brisk and packed with grab-you-by-the-lapels character, English and Irish breakfast teas will never go out of style, and we’re fans of them at all times of the day for giving you the nudge you need.
