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

“Charge me up” tea

When you need your creative juices to flow in or put your best food forward, or for the matter just fight off the sluggishness and get back to being productive, nothing can help you better than Green tea or Peppermint tea. Both these teas will fight stress and increase mental alertness almost instantly.

“Quench my thirst” tea

Well, this is not really a mood, but getting rid of the nagging thirst on a hot day is surely a relief. When water alone doesn’t do the trick, try a cold cup of Oolong tea or barley tea. The summer heat will bother you no more!
