While a visible light appears at the end of the Covid tunnel, we are all somewhat exhausted by now, making this the most delicate section so far. Drinking green tea every day is a simple yet highly effective way to boost your immune system and help you stay calm and focused, no matter what comes your way.
While properly preparing and drinking green tea allows you to pause and take a conscious moment for yourself, the conflicting realities of everyday life can make it difficult to do so as often as you'd like. Here are some tips on how to make it easier to incorporate green tea into your daily routine.
-
The Right Temperature: How often have you burned your mouth drinking from a thermos of scalding hot tea? No wonder you end up giving up and bringing home a thermos that's usually full. The solution? Fill your thermos with green tea that's already at a pleasant drinking temperature – not too hot. A good thermos should keep your tea warm all day. Don't have time in the morning to brew your tea and then wait for it to reach the perfect temperature? Simply make a slightly stronger infusion with hot water as usual, fill your thermos halfway or two-thirds full, and then top it off with cooler water. Life isn't perfect. A little green tea is better than none.

The right thermos: If your thermos doesn't keep drinks hot or is uncomfortable to use, you'll probably avoid using it. Even if you do use it, you might not drink from it as often as you intended, especially if you're busy or travel a lot. Choose a thermos that keeps drinks hot and is convenient and easy to use. Take a look at our ceramic-coated Kyocera thermoses with practical flip-top lids.

Use your thermos at home. Sometimes being home all day makes it even easier to forget to drink green tea, simply because we're too comfortable or distracted. Try filling a thermos as you would if you were going out or to the office, and carry it around the house with you. It's much more efficient than constantly going to the kitchen to pour yourself a cup, putting it on a shelf, forgetting about it, and then finding it's cold when you get back—if you even get back at all. A thermos is just as handy at home as it is when you're out and about.

No time to brew? Simply toss a few green tea leaves or powder into your water bottle and you're good to go. The tea will cold infuse over the next few minutes and hours, imparting exceptional benefits to your water.
