⚡

💛 ALL NIGHTER 💛
The holy grail of Yerba Mate!
What is Yerba Mate?
It is actually a limited edition blend, so make sure you cherish every sip, Teabirds! Yerba Mate, from South America, is a super stimulant! This tea blend is designed to keep you focused and awake. Supercharged with caffeine, green tea, cocoa shells, cocoa nibs and those all-important COFFEE BEANS!
How should I drink it?
Brew for 3 minutes and 80 degrees! Borough Manager, Emma, loves drinking this straight up as a simple hot tea. Although, it makes a mean latte! To make it a latte, brew 3 teaspoons in 150ml of boiling water, strain, add hot frothy milk, sprinkle with cocoa powder and voila!
Why is it energising?
Yerba mate has been enjoyed by Argentinians for hundreds of years. Its natural stimulating properties enhance concentration and energy levels! The green tea will also give you a boost, whilst the coffee beans will work on arousing your senses and waking you up!
🍵 GINGERNUT MATCHA 🍵
We simply cannot go 1 day without it!
What's in this one?
This blend is a combination of Japanese Matcha green tea, ginger cinnamon and a spot of chilli!
How should I drink it?
Mix up your matcha shot! (A half teaspoon of matcha whisked with 100ml of hot water (80degrees)). Once whisked top up with hot water to create the perfect cuppa or add your shot to some hot frothy milk for a yummy latte!
Top tip: Using coconut milk sweetens the Latte without having to add any syrups!!! In the warmer months, throw your shot of Matcha over ice and top up with milk of your choice!!
Why is it energising?
Matcha is Japanese green tea leaves that have been ground into a fine powder. This means when you consume a cup of Matcha you are taking in 10 times the amount of nutrients and caffeine that you would get from a normal cup of green tea! It basically gives you the same feeling as drinking a coffee but without the inevitable caffeine crash. Matcha is also great for Detoxing as well as destroying hangovers (Although please note, this is not the reason I drink it daily). A perfect post-Christmas party pick-me-up!
💜 KUNG FLU FIGHTER 💜
A kickass tea guaranteed to get you back on track in no time!
What is in this one?
A herbal blend of Eucalyptus, Echinacea, mint, chilli and ginger!
How should I drink it?
Our secret recipe involves one teaspoon of tea, some hot water, a slice of lemon and a drop of honey...Shh!
Why is it energising?
If you are feeling under the weather a hot cup of this will help! I find the Eucalyptus and chilli combination helps soothe my sore, stuffy head whilst the Echinacea works on the immune system! Don't forget there are ginger and mint in here, sure to put a spring in your step!!
