7 Teas to Energize Your 7 Days of The Week

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Ottawa chapter.

Trying to simultaneously combat the winter blues and your oncoming/already existing coffee dependency? Challenge yourself to try these 7 teas to complement the 7 days of the week! 

It might be difficult to break your traditional caffeine habits, but the benefits from a detox outweigh the difficulties of giving up your morning cup of coffee. Even though tea may have a little less caffeine than coffee, the positive features of drinking tea are endless. Tea is hydrating while coffee isn’t. It contains all sorts of antioxidants, will keep your smile bright, boost your immune system and support your digestive health! 

Here is a suggestion of 7 teas that can help you get through the ups and downs of your week: 

1. Matcha Monday

Matcha Green Tea is an enduring traditional Japanese tea and is one of the highest quality powdered teas. Since we all know Monday is the most difficult day to persevere through, this Matcha “Matsu” from David’s Tea will be sure to give you the push you need. Since it increases energy levels and detoxifies the body, it will surely rejuvenate you for the rest of the week ahead!
