A cup of black tea for morning kick start
By Valley Green Tea
Posted On August 29, 2017
Coffee consumption has been such a phenomenon
in the world that many are now depending on it for a morning ‘kick start’ of the day.
For health concerns, some are now trying to switch to a cup of black tea. Questions like ‘I am looking for a good strong black tea to replace my morning coffee’ have been asked repeatedly.
I was a morning coffee drinker like the rest of population until one day not long ago I discovered not only I was not getting the expected ‘kick start’ effect due to long term consumption and desensitisation, I actually acquired a secondary condition called ‘coffee headache’ when I missed a ‘dose’. (I dropped the cup and joined some friends for a bush walk one day and had a throbbing headache all day as there was not coffee available in the bush.)
I decided to give up coffee completely and started drinking black tea in the morning. The black I have enjoyed most for the purpose is the Organic Souchong. It has a full body flavour, fragrant and yet gentle on stomach.
Many of our customers have tried out other black teas. In summary, it is quite possible to replace your morning coffee with a strong cup of black tea.
