Try Midday Boost , our carefully crafted tea blend designed to brighten your afternoon with a gentle, invigorating touch! What’s in Midday Boost? Our Midday Boost  is a harmonious blend of three star ingredients: Rooibos  — This South African red tea is naturally caffeine-free and bursting with antioxidants. Its smooth, naturally sweet flavor creates a comforting base that soothes while gently revitalizing. Reddish-brown rooibos tea leaves Tulsi (Holy Basil)  — Revered in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries, tulsi helps ease stress and promotes mental clarity. Its slightly spicy, herbaceous notes complement rooibos perfectly, offering calm alertness without jitters. Bushes of Tulsi leaves Orange Oil  — A bright burst of citrusy aroma and flavor lifts your senses, adding a refreshing zing that awakens your palate and mood. Orange oil that gives you a vibrant sensation Why Choose Midday Boost as afternoon tea? Unlike coffee’s sharp caffeine kick, Midday Boost offers a balanced, natural way to recharge. It supports focus and calm energy, making it ideal for work breaks, afternoon meetings, or just a quiet moment to yourself. For me, I like to pair it with snacks, say waffle cookies. Midday Boost tea and waffle cookies — the perfect power-up combo for your afternoon snack. Simply brew a cup by steeping one tea bag or one teaspoon of loose leaf tea in hot water for 5–7 minutes. Take in the fragrant aroma of orange oil and holy basil, then let the musky flavor warm your taste buds! Midday Boost has a warm, earthy flavor profile, thanks to rooibos and orange oil.

It’s mid-June, and the weather simply screams for iced tea. It’s not quite summer break yet (let’s be real, I don’t get one now that I’m no longer a student), but iced tea brings that chill, vacation-y vibe to any moment. And did you know? June is officially National Iced Tea Month ! That got me thinking: what does iced tea look like around the world? Hop in—we’re taking your taste buds on a global tour!🍹✈️ 1. Thai Iced Tea Sweet, creamy, and bright orange, this iconic tea is made with strong black tea, sweetened condensed milk, and a hint of spice. Served over crushed ice, it’s as photogenic as it is delicious. Try it if you like:   Chai lattes or bold flavors with a sweet kick. 2. Moroccan Mint Tea For Moroccans, mint tea is as important as earl grey is for the British and green tea is for the Chinese. Traditionally served hot, the tea is refreshing, versatile, and robust. But when served cold, it's a whole new level of chill heaven. Try it if you like:  Light, refreshing drinks with a twist of herbal sweetness. 3. Taiwanese Bubble Tea Hail to Bubble Tea! Also known as boba tea , this chewy, funky iced tea is a sensation worldwide. As an Asian, bubble tea has always been my go-to comfort drink. Choose your base (black, green, or milk tea), toss in tapioca pearls, fruit jellies, or pudding, and sip through a jumbo straw. Try it if you like:  Textured drinks or playful, customizable sips. 4. Southern Sweet Tea Born in the American South, this classic is brewed strong and sweetened while hot, then poured over ice. It's simple, nostalgic, and perfect with lemon—or a splash of bourbon. For the best brew, use Pretty Pekoecious , our signature Orange Pekoe tea. Try it if you like:  Old-school charm and unapologetically sweet drinks lol. 5. Japanese Mugicha (Barley Tea) No tea quite hits the nostalgia spot like mugicha. Made from roasted barley instead of tea leaves, it is nutty, caffeine-free, and super refreshing. It’s a staple in Japanese households during summer. Mm-hmm — makes me want to hop on a plane to Japan right now! Try it if you like:  Toasty, mellow flavors or want a caffeine-free option . Final Sip There are countless teas around the world waiting to be discovered. You could always try a new one each week, mix and match flavors, or even create your own fusion blend. Who knows—maybe your creation will go viral and become the sixth  tea we recommend to tea lovers everywhere! But before that happens, why not let our Cue collections inspire your next brew?
