September has always been considered the month of new resolutions: the return from holidays is the right time to give a boost of energy to your life and start your daily activities again in the best possible way, perhaps adding some nice news.
Whether it's a return to school or work, a good habit that you can add to your morning routine is to treat yourself to a richer and more balanced breakfast, it is no coincidence that it is considered the most important meal of the day.
A cup of tea every morning can help you face new daily commitments full of energy, giving you greater concentration and productivity. In fact, many teas and infusions contain ingredients renowned for their beneficial and vitalizing properties.
Among the most famous we certainly find Green Tea, known above all for its antioxidant properties, but also energizing thanks to the theine it contains.
However, we can identify other teas and ingredients that can provide this type of benefit.
Tender
Black tea is characterized by a very intense color and aroma, characteristics that vary depending on the raw material, but above all depending on the infusion time. This parameter is also important to allow greater or lesser perfusion of theine stimulants and tannins from the black tea leaves to the water. You can find Black Tea in the English Breakfast infusion, characterized by a strong and acidic taste and also in Earl Grey, in which the aroma of bergamot is clearly distinguishable.
Yerba Mate
Among the most appreciated properties of Yerba Mate is its tonic and energizing effect, due to the presence of matein, a substance that has the same effects as caffeine. Other powers attributed to this plant are that of helping mental stimulation and strengthening the immune system. Therefore also perfect for tackling the new autumn season! Yerba Mate can be found in Leighton Benessere, Green Detox and Mate e Zenzero herbal teas.
Rosehip
The dog rose is a spontaneous species belonging to the Rosaceae family and this plant's vitaminizing and antioxidant properties are known. It is therefore an excellent tonic to deal with tiredness and help defeat the stress of returning from holidays. Rosehip is an ingredient found in many of Leighton's filter tea selections including Blueberry Cherry, Blackberry Currant and Rifugio Alpino.
