Something about the warmer months makes me want to breathe deeper, move slower, and reset from the inside out. It’s like my body is craving a fresh start, and lately, I’ve been tapping into that energy through my tea ritual.
Tea has always been part of my wellness routine, but these days, it’s become a non-negotiable, grounding, energizing, intentional part of my day. Thanks to Art of Tea’s blends, it’s also been one of the most enjoyable.
Here’s how I’ve been working them into my days lately.
Starting my mornings with Rose Black for bold, grounded energy.
Mornings in my house are not always slow and serene. But I’ve made it a point to carve out five minutes before the chaos begins to ground myself, and Rose Black has been my go-to.
It’s a bold black tea (hello, caffeine boost), with delicate rose petals giving it a soft, floral finish that feels luxurious. It’s the perfect way to start the day feeling focused and calm. I love that black tea gives me a clean energy boost (without the jitters).
Quick ritual: I steep it hot, journal for five minutes, and start the day with a little more clarity.
Happy Tea is my go-to for breezy afternoon vibes.
By the time the afternoon slump hits, I’m usually staring at my laptop and craving something refreshing. That’s where Happy Tea comes in.
This green tea has a light caffeine boost (perfect for gentle energy) and a fruity, floral flavor that feels like a mini escape. It is also packed with antioxidants, so I feel like I’m doing something good for my body and brain. I make it iced and keep a pitcher in the fridge; it’s been my secret weapon during those back-to-back errand days and pool days.
Hosting hack: Serve it iced with a splash of citrus and a sprig of mint. It looks fancy with zero effort.
White Coconut Crème is my midweek moment of indulgence.
If I had to pick a favorite… this might be it. White Coconut Crème is pure comfort. It’s got this creamy coconut-vanilla vibe that makes me feel instantly more relaxed. I sip it hot when I want to wind down or iced when I want something smooth and dreamy.
It’s made with white tea, which is super gentle but surprisingly antioxidant-rich. I love that I’m potentially getting skin-loving, age-supporting benefits while enjoying something that tastes like dessert. Sans the sugar crash or guilt.
Green Pomegranate is my go-to when I need to get in the zone.
When I need to actually get stuff done, I reach for Green Pomegranate, it’s bright and fruity. Green tea helps me focus, while the pomegranate flavor brings a little zing that wakes my senses. Pomegranate is also packed with vitamin C, which is a win for my immune system.
It’s my go-to for powering through those late afternoon work sessions. Hot or iced, it clears the mental fog and helps me refocus without reaching for another coffee. Plus, I love bringing it on trips with me! It’s the perfect tea to keep my energy up while I explore somewhere new.
Pro tip: Pair it with a quick walk or five minutes of sunshine—instant energy shift.
Why This Tea Ritual Has Stuck
As the days grow warm and brighter, I am reminded that wellness doesn’t have to be a big production. Sometimes, it’s as simple as steeping tea, taking a deep breath, and sipping something that supports how you want to feel.
I’ve found that with Art of Tea’s blends. These blends are artisan-crafted, thoughtfully sourced, and designed with real purpose, supporting everything from clarity to calm. Whether I’m brewing a hot cup in the morning or pouring something iced in the afternoon sun, each one feels like a seasonal upgrade to my routine. And let’s be honest… between work, family, and all the in-between, it’s nice to have something that feels just for me.
