Three teas to see you through October
October has finally remembered that it’s autumn.
The days are getting shorter, the mornings are darker and the weather is - at last - beginning to feel a little colder. The iced-tea jug can take a well-earned break while we return to the sort of brews that warm your hands as well as your mood.
From the first reluctant alarm to the final curl-up-on-the-sofa moment, these are our three teas for October.
The Full English: for getting back to proper hot tea
There comes a point every autumn when iced tea stops feeling refreshing and starts feeling like a poor life decision. That point has arrived.
The Full English is the brew to welcome you back to hot tea: a full-bodied, satisfying breakfast blend made for chilly mornings, buttered toast and mugs substantial enough to require two hands.
It’s familiar and comforting, but far from ordinary - the sort of dependable everyday tea that gets the day off to a much better start.
Best enjoyed when it’s still dark outside and leaving the duvet feels wildly unreasonable.
Maximum Velocitea: for darker-day sluggishness
Less daylight can make even the most energetic among us want to enter hibernation mode.
When the darker mornings make it harder to get going - or the afternoon gloom has you eyeing the sofa at 3 pm - reach for Maximum Velocitea.
This is our get-up-and-go brew: bold, lively and made for the moments when your own energy levels have apparently clocked off early. Brew a cup before tackling the morning, heading out for a walk or attempting anything that requires actual enthusiasm.
Because the sun may be setting earlier, but unfortunately your to-do list hasn’t received the memo.
Midnight Chai: for slower, cosier evenings
October evenings call for softer lighting, warmer socks and a mug of something properly comforting.
Midnight Chai is our sweetly spiced, caffeine-free evening blend, with warming chai spices, smooth honeybush and a touch of caramel flavour. It’s cosy without being heavy and indulgent without needing to involve an entire packet of biscuits.
Although we won’t judge if it does.
Drink it as it comes, add a splash of milk or turn it into a creamy chai latte for maximum autumn points. This is the tea to brew when the laptop closes, the blanket comes out and the day can finally quieten down.
Your October, in three cups
Morning begins with The Full English.
The darker-day slump calls for Maximum Velocitea.
And when it’s time to slow everything down, there’s Midnight Chai.
Three different brews for three very different October moments—all currently included in our 25% off sale while we make room for Brew & Bloom’s brand-new packaging.
The days might be getting shorter, but the tea is getting considerably better.
