Different brews have a different impact on your mood. Which is why we recommend that you add more than one type of tea to your grocery list and so you can sip on the one that suits your mood best.

Read on to find out about some of the helpful side effects of a cup of tea and the best choice of tea for different moods.

The “Color me happy” tea
