The best time for a hot drink is a cool and crisp autumn day. Here are ten teas to try this fall, each with their own benefits!

Pumpkin Spice Black Tea from “The Republic of Tea”

This tea is a black tea. Black tea has been shown to have antioxidant properties, which may help decrease the risk of chronic illness and boost overall health. Black tea can also promote heart health. Black tea, consumed regularly, may reduce the risk of heart disease! Black tea may help improve focus, which is ideal for college students. Why not reap the benefits of black tea while also getting in the autumn spirit?

Harvest Apple Spice Tea from “Tea Forte”

This specific blend is considered an herbal tea. This means that there is no caffeine in it, which is perfect when you want a hot drink, but you don’t want to be awake all night. The antioxidants found in herbal teas tend to boost the immune system, which helps fight the common cold. Herbal teas are also shown to reduce stress and anxiety. Plus, the apple spice flavor reminds one of homemade apple pie, which is always a plus.

Cinnamon Sibu Green Tea from “English Tea Store”

Green tea is proven to boost your metabolism, burn fat, and improve physical performance. It also, like black tea, contains caffeine, which improves focus and can actually improve brain function. Green tea can kill bacteria, which improves dental health and lowers your risk of infection.

Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea from “Twinings”

Chai tea can help improve heart health. It has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels. Chai tea has also been proven to reduce nausea and improve digestive health! Plus, it contains a decent amount of caffeine so it will give you the boost you need to make it through the fall semester. Chai is already a delicious and spicy tea, adding pumpkin flavor is the perfect way to make it a fall classic.

Good Hope Vanilla Red Tea from “The Republic of Tea”

This tea blend is based on a rooibos tea. Rooibos tea is naturally caffeine-free, so it is a good choice for a relaxing fall drink. Like many other teas, it is packed with antioxidants, which will boost your immune system and overall health. It can also reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease. Some people claim that it helps with sleep. This is the perfect tea for those who don’t like the traditional fall spices.

Organic Bai Mu Dan White Tea from “Arbor Teas”

White tea can help protect your teeth from bacteria. It is a great source of fluoride, which helps prevent cavities and improves overall oral health. Some compounds in white tea can protect against osteoporosis. It has also been proven to combat skin aging. This particular tea has a light flavor that is perfect for a fall pick-me-up.

Blackberry Sage Black Tea from “The Republic of Tea”

This is my personal favorite of all the autumn teas. Blackberries bring the nostalgia of summer, while sage bring the anticipation of fall. The flavor is sweet and spicy at the same time. Meanwhile, this black tea has all of the previously mentioned benefits of black tea!
