Why we've chosen these herbs:

Green Tea:
Energy Boost: Green tea contains a moderate amount of caffeine, providing a gentle energy boost without the jitters. It also contains L-theanine, promoting alertness and focus.

2. Citrus (Orange and Lemon):
- Vitamin C Boost: Oranges and lemons are rich in vitamin C, known for its immune-boosting properties. Vitamin C also helps enhance the absorption of iron from the tea.

3. Mint Leaves:
- Refreshing Aroma: Mint adds a refreshing and uplifting aroma to the tea, creating a sensory experience. Menthol in mint is also known for its invigorating and cooling effect.

4. Honey (Optional):
- Natural Sweetness: Honey adds a touch of natural sweetness to the tea, making it more palatable. The natural sugars in honey provide a quick energy source.

How They Work Together:

- The combination of green tea and citrus creates a synergistic effect. The vitamin C in citrus helps preserve the catechins in green tea, enhancing its antioxidant properties.

- Mint complements the citrusy notes with its cooling effect, making the tea refreshing and revitalizing.

- The optional honey provides sweetness without the need for refined sugars, contributing to sustained energy release.

Brewing Tip:
Allowing the ingredients to steep in hot water ensures that the flavors and beneficial compounds are infused into the tea, creating a harmonious blend that awakens the senses and provides a natural energy lift.

Sip and Enjoy:
With each sip, you're not just enjoying a delightful beverage, but also infusing your body with a burst of antioxidants, vitamins, and natural energy. It's a tea experience designed to uplift your spirits and power you through your day!

Enjoy the burst of energy and revitalization with every sip!
