Students: Time to Study, A Great Time for Tea

Students everywhere are getting ready to take finals over the next few weeks, and whether your class is project based, or if you're dreading the comprehensive final, tea can help you stay up late, get to bed earlier, focus, or relax. Here are my recommendations for students based on their situations.

The 'all nighter' tea: Really any black tea will be about the same any of these would be a good choice. But as much as it pains me to say it, you might end up needing to switch to coffee as the night wears on.

The 'SoNervousICan'tSleep!!!' tea: chamomile is the drug for you. This flowering plant will ease your anxiety and put you right to sleep.

The 'I need a break, but I need to come back' tea: Spring Cherry Green is a fabulous break tea for those who need to stay focused, and get back to work after their afternoon drink.

The 'I need a break, and I'm done for today' tea: I recommend peppermint tea to anyone looking to completely shrug off the hard days work, and wind down for the evening. Chamomile is an alternate here, but if you don't want to sleep quite yet, I'd go with peppermint.

The 'one down, two to go' tea: celebrate, relax, and recoup with a twist on a classic, the earl gray white is a great choice to keep your focus, and save your from burnout. This will feel similar to the Spring Cherry Green, but this emotion is similar to needing a short break.

The 'morning of the test' tea: in test taking consistency is king, stick with the classic earl grey black.

The 'I'M DONE!": congratulations, try one of these!

Cheers-
Teb

  1. Nice list! I recently went to the Super China market and bought this green tea imported from Japan. It's a nice change from bagged green tea ^_^
