Teas for Morning Commute

We hear all too often how breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, hydrating in the morning is also key to our health. Why not start your day off with some fresh tea? Whether hot or cold, drinking tea on your morning commute through Raleigh can have a positive impact on your health.

White Tea: An Early Morning Pleasure

Hydrating ourselves within the first half hour of waking up is crucial. Many opt for a coffee, but a glass of water or a cup of tea is more beneficial to our hydration. However, many find that certain teas are too harsh to be drank on an empty stomach. These teas tend to be of the black variety, or even green. By drinking white tea for your early morning cuppa, all the benefits of hydration, caffeine, and antioxidants can be consumed without the discomforting side effects. At Tin Roof Teas, we offer a variety of teas that we package locally, here in our Raleigh store. Consider our various blooming teas or even a loose leaf blend, including Earl of White or Kiss of the Dragon. These teas are ready for purchase on your stroll around Cameron Village in beautiful West Raleigh.

Green Tea: A Mid-Morning Sip

Maybe later in the day, such as after breakfast, another cup is craved. It is now a better time to consider a darker tea, for example a green tea. Green tea is often recognized for its metabolism boosting properties. It contains a mild amount of caffeine and contains enough flavor on its own to be sipped on without accompaniment. Tin Roof Teas sells a wide spectrum of teas that fit into the Green category, including strains from China and Japan. Many varieties, like Green Coconut and Green Tea Orange, contain a fruity balance that is perfect for a standalone cup. Green tea is also the perfect opportunity to add some of our North Carolina honey. Our Raleigh store has a wide assortment of honeys to choose from.

Other Tea Options

Of course, your day in the Tri-City area can be accompanied with any kind of tea. The wide array of varieties at Tin Roof Teas reflect the endless possibilities of a hot mug or cool glass. Black teas, oolong teas, and special herbal strains provide a flavor for any mood that is delicious enough on its own or with a simple spoonful of some of our antioxidant-rich, North Carolina honey. There’s nothing like a glass of iced tea after a hearty meal at Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar or a curry at Bida Manda. Whatever tea you prefer, come see the extensive collection offered at Tin Roof Teas of Raleigh just north of Hillsborough Street by the North Carolina State campus. Feel free to browse our online tea store as well to find the perfect tea to kickstart your day as you travel into the city or to wind down at home or in City Plaza after a long day at work.
