Create Your Morning Routine

We all know the feeling of waking up in the morning, scrambling to get out the door half-asleep too well however, it’s true that how you spend the first part of your day sets you up for success. Having an optimal routine that you can stick to and doesn’t feel like a chore is important to think about. There are a few things that you can add into your morning that is bound to set the tone for your day.

Hydrate

After snoozing all night, it’s normal to be dehydrated so drinking water first thing in the morning is a good idea. Keep a glass on your nightstand so you can easily grab and sip before you eat or drink anything else. If you have time to treat yourself, you can make yourself a cup of our Jasmine Silver Needle, fragrant and soft to help rouse the senses, and gently cleanse the body before the start of the day.

Stay Offline

Opening social media, messages or emails as soon as you’ve opened your eyes can raise your cortisol for the whole day. Seek some calm before the day ahead with the help of our Blooming Tea. The jasmine green tea is artistically tied with dried flowers in unfurl in hot water and give yourself time to focus on you. For a full guide on mindfulness with Blooming Tea, read here.

Make The Bed

It’s the quickest and easiest thing that you can check off the list giving you that sense of accomplishment. Not only will you be able to come to a tidy home but a made bed can lead to a more restful night’s sleep so you can catch some zzz’s. Make yourself a Matcha Latte with our Organic Matcha Cocktail Grade Kagoshima to help you focus and get the job done thanks to Matcha’s amino acid L-theanine giving you a slow, steady release of caffeine.

Skincare Time

Don’t worry, this doesn’t have to be a ten-step routine. This can solely just be a moisturiser or a quick face wash but having something that you’re doing for yourself can feel almost like a self-care ritual. Brew a cup of our Organic Lemon Verbena to freshen you up from the inside out and invigorate you for your day.

Eat Smart

Eating a high-protein breakfast can keep you satisfied and full for longer. Protein is an essential nutrient and can help your blood sugar remain low for four hours so try swapping out cereal with granola and yoghurt which is packed with protein and good bacteria. Wanting a more savoury start to the day? Try our Assam English Breakfast that pairs really well with eggs due to its deep flavour and rich, malty taste.

Fuel Up

No morning routine is complete without tea. We have a delicious list of breakfast teas like our classic Organic English Breakfast where we’ve used full-leaf black teas from Assam, Ceylon and Yunnan. If you’re skipping the caffeine, have a cup of our Rooibos Vanilla Earl Grey which is basically a hug in a mug. Infused with bergamot oil and vanilla, this rooibos is blended with French lavender, jasmine blooms and a sprinkle of cornflower petals.
