Three Reasons to Swap Your Coffee for Tea

Hey guys!

So today, I want to talk to you about how I have recently reduced my intake of coffee and increased my intake of fruit tea and green tea. It was actually a bit of an out-of-the-blue decision. I came to the conclusion that coffee wasn't really having the same effect on me that it used to and that I just don't enjoy drinking it as much as I did.

I've been told since, what feels like the moment I popped out of the womb, that 'green tea is good for you blah blah' and yeah, that's all good but it tastes like crap- let's face it. I was in tesco one day when I saw that they had some fruit tea's on offer and I was feeling pretty sluggish at that moment in time. I very rarely get moments where I voluntarily feel like being healthy so when I do, I grab the opportunity.

I just wanted to see if all the tea talk was worth the hype. I know that it's good for you but I wanted to see if I actually felt a difference and the honest truth is- I did! Fruit tea and green tea give me a different sort of energy to coffee, a more natural feeling of energy that doesn't leave me feeling sluggish afterwards. So here are my three reasons why you should join me on this!

1. You won't need to poop as much

So if you're a avid coffee drinker like myself, you'll probably be aware of the fact that coffee makes you poop. There is a reason why Urban Outfitters sell this slogan on their coffee flasks.. Fruit Tea and Green Tea however do not contain the same laxative that coffee does. You'll pee a lot- but no excessive amount of number two's for us woohooo

2. More energy

So the general rule of thumb is- feeling tired? Have a coffee. But I have wonderfully discovered that drinking fruit tea and green tea leaves me feeling MORE energised that coffee does. Plus, you don't have a crash with tea like you do with coffee. The energy release is far more gradual.

3. Reduces stress

Green tea in particular (but also fruit tea in some cases) is proven to reduce stress, anxiety and even depression. I guess you could see tea as a bit of 'me time' just like taking a bath or putting on a facemask. It does you good, and it makes you feel good just knowing that it's doing good.


My currents favourites are Tetley Peach & Apricot Green Tea and Twinings Mango & Strawberry Fruit Tea.



Lots of love!
