8 Turned-Up Teas To Warm Up Your Winter

When you can’t seem to kick the brrr out of your body, drinking a hot cup of tea will surely do the trick (not to mention all of the amazing health benefits teas provide, like lowering bad cholesterol, fighting off various cancers, relieving headaches, soothing digestion, and more). We’re all used to the regular teas from green tea to chamomile, so we’re here to switch up your collection with these FUNctional teas you may not have heard of but will definitely want to try.

  1. A Stress-Relieving + Mood-Boosting Tea – Between the holiday season being the busiest time of year and the weather getting colder by the day, it’s easy to feel totally out of your element. Lift your spirits with teas that are crafted with energy-boosting ingredients like Ashwagandha, mint, lemon balm, and lavender, just to name a few. Like pure magic in a cup, these teas will help to realign your mind, body, and spirit.
  2. An Immuni-Tea – In continuing with the theme of checking in with yourself, it’s also important to keep your immune system strong. Teas are a fantastic way to build your immunity, with symptom-kicking ingredients like ginger, turmeric, elderberry, echinacea, and an array of citrus fruits. Give your body the fighting powers it needs this winter season!
  3. A Bad + Boozy Tea – Holiday parties ramp up, and so do the alcoholic beverages. When you’re looking for something bougie and boozy(ish) without the headaches and hangover, turn to a cocktail-inspired tea! Your morning-after self will thank you.
  4. A Holly Jolly Tea – There’s nothing like sipping a hot cup of tea next to the fireplace, with snow falling outside, soft holiday music in the background, and the glittering decorations completing the ambience. What would make the setting even sweeter is a seasonal tea that ties it all together! The options are endless, with gingerbread, peppermint, and clove-forward flavors.
  5. A Zingy Tea – Looking to add a little more heat to your tea? Believe it or not, there’s an array of teas that give just a touch more spice for the daring! Chai tea is a perfect example of this. Made with strong, aromatic spices, such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger and black peppercorns, Chai tea is a great option for those who are looking for a richer, more complex flavor.
  6. A Color-Changing Tea – Okay, let’s forget about the flavor profiles for a second and jump into something that’s visually super cool – like a tea that actually changes color! Impress your guests with something that they won’t expect and make the magic happen by adding a squeeze of citrus, like lemons. Thanks to Butterfly Pea Flower (the special ingredient), this transforming tea is sure to keep the conversation between guests going!
  7. A Glittery Tea – We’ll do ya one better and further the visually satisfying teas by sprinkling a little glitter to the list. Glitter teas are definitely a rare find, but totally worth having in your collection. Made with edible glitter, these teas are an enchanting drinking experience that will have you and your tea-sipping friends mesmerized.
  8. A Pink-Inspired Tea – We’re leaving the best category for last: pink tea! It’s our favorite color and it’s only right that we include some pretty pink inspiration to our list. There is such a thing as tea that is pink in color. Commonly known as Noon Chai, Kashmiri Chai gets its pink hue from the combination of air and baking soda which reacts with the tea leaves during the brewing process. To expand the list, we’re adding pink-inspired teas as well, including Rosebud tea and Hibiscus tea, and dessert-inspired teas like Pink Velvet Cake tea! Regardless of the actual color of the tea, we’re here for it. PINKy’s up!

Teas are the perfect way to stay warm and hydrated this winter season while providing your system with herbal supplements that will enhance your immunity, mood, and overall health. Pick up some of these unique teas to try at your next tea party, book club, or night in.
