We are sure we don’t speak alone when we say we’ve spent a good deal of time over the last two years crying, whether it’s of sadness, complete confusion, or happiness – a combination of grief and joy.
It’s been a time. If you’re on the hunt for relaxation, time to finally be alone by choice and feel totally and utterly at peace – trust us when we say a nice, warm cuppa tea is one of the best ways. It’s a rewarding way to wind down, celebrate the wins of the day, and take some well deserved time out.

Not only does tea taste fantastic, but often it’s blended with ingredients that have properties that soothe your needs, no matter your mood. If you’re not a herbalist, it can be a little overwhelming knowing what type of tea complements your mood – that’s why we’re here.
1. Productivity
Struggling with mid-week productivity is a struggle, and we are sure you agree that those hump day feels are real. If you’d like to feel productive and excited for the day, some great ways to boost your productivity could include getting your most dreaded task out of the way, turning off all distractions so you can zone out and be on the ball or incorporating an endorphin-boosting drink throughout the day.
When we consume chilli, our bodies release endorphins, a natural feel-good chemical released during exercise. This will make you feel great, productive and keen to take on anything. Next time you’re feeling flat, try a cup of chilli and cocoa tea and see how you feel.
2. Relaxation
Similar to feeling productive, often turning off your devices and practising mindfulness can help to feel immense relaxation. If you often feel like you can’t relax, some great ways to be calm can be as simple as having a nice hot bath with some aromatherapy, practising mindful meditation, going for a walk or having a warm drink.
After a stressful, jam-packed day, relaxing with your current read and a cuppa tea sounds perfect. A sleepy time tea with chamomile added in can relax your entire body with its calming effect – so you can enjoy your alone time and wake up feeling refreshed. We love Higher Living’s Sweet Dreams tea as it has a soothing combination of chamomile, fennel, peppermint, lemon balm, lindenflowers and lavender to carry you away.
4.Mood booster
A boost of serotonin never hurt anyone – and there are so many simple ways to boost your productivity and mood. Seven small things you can do to make yourself happier are:
- Quickly tidying your space – whether it’s your desk, bedroom or kitchen.
- Listening to your favourite music and dancing around the house.
- Complimenting a stranger – it just feels so nice to see someone else smile!
- Make sure you get enough sleep so you wake up on the right side of the bed.
- Wake up earlier and make the most of your day.
- Going on a long walk, boost those endorphins and clean your head at the same time!
- Consume cinnamon! Cinnamon is said to boost your mood and increase your attention. Drinking a tea, like Higher Living’s Cinnamon Tea, is a great way to include it in your diet.
4. Focus
Nothing beats feeling refreshed and alert, especially with an important project due, a massive family lunch to cook or before literally any other stressful situation. To combat that drowsy, uninspired feeling, some tips we recommend are reducing multitasking, taking a short break and enjoying a warm cup of tea after a hard task and shutting off after work.
We recommend peppermint tea to complement feeling overrun. Peppermint can help improve alertness, increase focus and relieve fatigue.
Feeling different ways can sometimes be confusing, and not knowing how to support yourself through that time can feel difficult and overwhelming. Set yourself up for emotional success by setting good habits, like staying hydrated, enjoying nutrient-packed substances, and setting aside time to make sure you’re feeling your best.
Different tea blends can help alleviate stress, get in your feels or simply relax you before bed – it can support you no matter how you feel, no matter the cause.
