The best teas to drink in the morning

Tea is a delicious and healthy drink that can be enjoyed at any time of the day, and can be an excellent way to keep the body healthy and balanced. However, some teas are better suited to certain times of the day than others.

Each tea has its purpose, and each phase of our day has specific needs. Stimulating teas are best served in the morning, for example, and calming teas are ideal in the evening.

So if you’re looking for a guide to the best teas to drink in the morning, read on!

Which teas to drink in the morning

The functional properties of the herbs, spices, fruits and plants used to make tea can benefit various systems in the body, from the digestive system to the nervous system. To maximise the benefits of each tea, try to fit them into your routine so that they are drunk at the best time.

Keep in mind that each tea should be drunk before meals (about 20 minutes) or after (about 1 hour after).

Breakfast

At the start of the day, when our energy is still low and our body is still “kicking off” the day, it is recommended to drink teas with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, teas with caffeine or stimulating properties may be a good bet in the morning.

Ginger

GINGER is a digestive and anti-inflammatory agent par excellence. It is possibly one of the most popular natural teas for treating colds and flu, as well as eliminating bad breath. Its slightly spicy flavour can be an interesting way to wake you up.

Mid-morning

The day has been going for a while and it’s still far from over. You can continue with the tea you had for breakfast, taking advantage of the theine in green or black tea, or you can opt for a tea that is good for digestion. Or a diuretic tea to release toxins. Perhaps even a tea that acts directly on a health problem you may have.

Dandelion

Dandelion tea can be an effective natural solution for reducing free radicals and the accumulation of fat in the liver, favouring the appearance of your skin. It’s a great option for those suffering from gastrointestinal disorders. It can also help strengthen the immune system.
