Relaxation has become increasingly important to me over the years. I used to think I was invincible and being young meant I couldn’t burn out. However, quite quickly I learned my lesson the hard way (several times!). As a result, I now place great emphasis on taking the time to unwind and appreciate how the simplicity of certain acts can hold a lot of power with numerous benefits. 

A Simple Cup Of Tea:

A staple in my night-time routine is ending the day with a cup of warm goodness. The simple act of making and drinking a cup of tea has become somewhat therapeutic to me. With each sip a sense of comfort follows and whilst my problems aren’t drowned out by the delightful beverage it presses pause on my mind from stressing about them for a brief moment. 

As I place great importance on my evening tea I am always on the lookout for the best blends. Recently, BRW Society has been on my radar and as an avid coffee and tea drinker I felt like a kid in a candy store when viewing their array of products. Overwhelmed by the assortment of coffees and teas I reached out to the company for guidance on selecting their best relaxation ones. The two recommendations I was provided with were: sundowners and yoga tea which both immediately went into my basket along with the Hazelnut coffee bags. 

The Sundowners Tea tastes like sunset in a cup. It has a delightful blend of organic ingredients such as lemon verbena, chamomile, lemongrass and many more coming together to form a symphony of flavours warming your insides with each sip. As a result, making you feel nice and cosy as night dawns ready to get into bed for a deep slumber. My mother can confirm its use helping one sleep as it’s now regular in her night-time routine as well. 

The Yoga Tea is a combination of cinnamon and zesty ginger pieces along with cardamom, cloves and black pepper. All the spices used to make this tea are great additives in one’s wellness regime making for a lovely brew to have in the evening or even after a Yoga/Pilates workout. Not only are you treating your mind using it as a relaxation aid but also your body with the benefits of their ingredients.

When I saw BRW’s coffee bags I couldn’t resist adding their Hazelnut ones into the basket. The Arabica coffee beans are bursting with flavour complemented beautifully by the subtle Hazelnut taste making for a lovely way to start your day!

Such simple acts can have a great impact allowing your mind to focus on something different for a few moments. I tend to enjoy my cup of tea at night as I find it helps to relax me prior to bed however, no matter the time of the day you’ll always get joy out of a cup!
